Jared was at his wit's end, and wondered what could possibly save their friend from being eaten by plant-life. He realized that the tree was raising up again and that he was in it's line of attack. He was about to be eaten! He rolled again, but a branch came crashing down in front of him and he got tangled in a limb for a moment by the arm before he could break out. The time it took him to do so made him miss the branch coming from behind him that knocked him forward several feet to land in a crash.
"I don't suppose you have the secret hidden ability to breathe fire on this thing, do you?"
Fire???
"That's it! Fire! Go get the fire from the bandit camp! I'll keep it too busy to eat her! Hurry!"
Jared had no idea if his plan really made any sense at all. He figured that this tree would cringe at fire just like any tree might, and it was the most effective tool he could think of. He'd smelled fire back at the camp when Acacia and he were coming to rescue Rehan, and he hoped that Rehan knew whether or not the campfire still burned. Jared did not remember ever seeing it, but he was busy trying to make a rescue, so that was understandable.
There! His sword! He jumped over to it, and latched on, but suddenly got grabbed by the waiste and hauled into the air several feet at a speed to make him nearly lose his lunch.
"AAAaaaaaiiiiiiiaaaaa!!!!"
