I am sure that Tiny’s spider web threads were strong enough to hold me, but I gripped on to that dragon’s horn so tight that my knuckles ached. Then I saw her, Majestic, the grandest tree I'd ever seen. She didn't need a mountain top to reach the sky. She grew up there. I could feel her consciousness. I could hear her soothing tones. Her music was hypnotic. "Don't worry Majestic, I am not scared”. I yelled from my mind.

The crystal I wore began to hum. Then My chair righted itself. Tiny landed back on the pouch, suddenly we floated as if we were on a magic carpet, gently towards Majestic ‘s waiting limbs. She folded us onto a tree top landing pad where I could stand comfortably.

“I am worried for Woodrift. How many more times will he grow?” I said aloud.” I only knew him for a few hours, and I like him.”

“Wooddrift cannot hold his form in this dimension any longer, his next growth will propel him into another dimension. He only stayed here to bring you to me. That is why I worried. We owe him our gratitude.” replied the great tree.
