The great oak somehow smiled
"I can aid you, to an extent, but as with you, my memory has also been affected. I know something, but not everything. I know that your answer lies to the north, within the mountains, however. This much, I can sense. I know also of a being who dwells within the mountains who is uneffected by this enchantment that has swept throughout the land."
The mighty tree sighed again, "I cannot tell you how to regain your memories, for in truth, I do not know... but I can aid you, somewhat. First of all, who amounst you is willing to accept my blessings?"
Aeriah who had remained silent finally spoke and knelt before the mighty oak, "Thank you for your time, ancient one." Nodding, he answered, "As you will, and gladly. My thanks."
Kyr squeeked that she too, would accept the tree's blessings and thanked the oak, for once being respectful. "Are we going to the mountains next? How do we get there?"
"The mountains are through the forest... continue on your course, three days hence, to the west, follow the river to the north, and after a tenday, you shall reach the base of the mountain. You may reach there faster or slower depending on your pace. I wish you well. You two have my blessings." from the tree's boughs, some acorns fell. "Make use of these, if you will. When you throw them upon the ground, you can command roots to grow from the earth and entangle your foes." turning his gaze to Able, he added, "Do not think to use necromancy with these seeds, for nature does not take well to the undeath spells. Dire consequences may occur, ones that even I cannot forsee."
