He heard Acacia yell out and was glad she was awake. Not only was she safer with a conscious-working mind, she was more effective at getting this tree taken care of. Obviously, she had an idea. Suddenly, the entire tree shook with such violent force, he no longer could tell which way was up...then felt himself falling. It just occurred to him that his eyes were sealed shut. He kept them closed, but reached out and hit something hard with his arm which spun him around and then his leg was caught on something which slowed his fall down. Keeping his unsore arm reaching for limbs, he was hit in the stomach and tossed backwards into a branch that caught him but did not hold as he plummeted forward once again and down, but this time hit something large and mushy. Opening his eyes, he realized it was the marshy earth. He was safe! He had no idea where Acacia was, but he looked up and saw the trunk of teh black willow right beside him, and so he jumped up and tried to run the other way. The tree however was thrashing about, and there were limbs and branches crashing to the ground all over, most of them missing. Once, he got hit in the back by one of them and lost his footing, but the good thing about marsh country is that the landings are always cushioned. Still, he was sore from all the beatings....but he'd lost that sword again.
"Drat"!
