Chapter 15 - 15. Frindle's fury part 1

There she was Frindle a battlefield commander known for her peaceful temperament, violently rampaging around as if she was Bolly. Her eyes had tears falling down he face unlike the transparent colors of normal tears here was red as if blood poured out of them.

As she was killing she reminisced. For a long period of time she was wrapped in darkness she had felt fearful of it days became weeks and weeks became months. When months became years her sanity began to slip she didn't understand why she felt that way but she struggled to break free from the darkness. When the madness came so did the warmth. It wasn't something she was familiar with but as quickly as it came it vanished. The madness seemed to be more intense. Why was she given a taste of something that made her feel comfortable,safe only for it to be taken away. Just as her fury came so did the warmth this time she didn't want to let it go. She tried to grab it not knowing what grabbing meant but she didn't want to let go. In her attempt she made the warmth apart of her. the she felt herself break free from her confinement.

She had broken through the rough and tough ground. She was a sapling. When she first made a breakthrough memories or maybe instructions filled her mind. She knew she had to grow she had to make herself stronger.

Years went by the Rough ground was nourished by her everyday. When she took in the warmth of the sun it gave her the energy to grow and as she grew so did the barren world.

One day little green spikes grew from the ground. These spikes were rigid but after some time they softened and gently moved in the wind. Year after year she grew and so did the world around her. Her roots which nourished the soil by taking in the excess yang energy which converted into something gently and warm.It was an energy that represented her mood. One day she was able to see all around her and her heart shook. Miles upon miles of lush green land and it was connected to her. She was happy

Decades went by but she never grew tired of watching the land transform. Bushes started to form and more variety of plants started sprouting. A millennium goes by and she is gigantic towering above mountains the land feels different to her she doesn't know why but it was just different.

Two dozen more years flow by and she notices something on the horizon green things moving but they were different. Their bark was smoother than hers , their roots were above ground and moving without the wind and they also had two branches that were leafless. They were odd she admitted to herself but she was excited nonetheless. Everyday they came closer to her and when they reached a certain distance she felt them as if they were apart of her just like one of her branches but different. The tallest one came closer while the others stayed behind acting all cautiously.

The tall one spoke but she couldn't understand. she quickly became frustrated but the tall one pressed her head against her and they were connected on an even deeper level. Then they spoke. Great green off the land she said almost giddy. I am Tepa elder of the Teafee tribe she replied.My inner voice was hoarse it was rough and gravely. Yes child I hear you I replied calmly. May we of the Teafee tribe bask in the shade of your branches. The great tree did not understand but images flowed into her mind as Tepa showed her what she wanted. They wanted to be near her and under her. She did not understand why they wanted to be under her branches but she said yes. It was the first group of people who had interacted with her.

Tepa the elder visited her often and The great tree absorbed the knowledge she shared. about 500 years ago many plants and trees became aware and in time they developed a language and and one curious little sapling barely 20 years old climbed the mountain and was shocked beyond belief. She ran as fast as she could back to the tribe and told us what she saw. Leafteay the curious sapling never know to lie we grew curious at her claim of a tree so vast that it could be seen from so far away.

You were majestic and we couldn't help but to make the journey but who knew it would take 13 years. Your size gave a false impression of the journey. We traveled with our hearts never wavering until we reached here.

I am so glad we made the journey. Being near you calms out hearts and we feel your warmth greater than before. When we first became aware we didn't know what we were but your warmth was always there. The great tree felt happy she replied I'm glad that my warmth kept you company during your awakening I too felt great comfort in the warmth. Both the Great tree and Tepa felt happy and they continued chatting into the night.

Frindle continued to remember the past and her angr grew more and more uncontrollable.
