Damian had heard the whispers. Ever since returning from the holidays, the young(ish) man had his ear to the ground, listening for any rumors about the attacks. One victim was supposedly found here, at the greenhouses. But that's not what he heard people talking about.

He was here because he heard about the tree, now just a sapling, and couldn't wait to see it. Seeing such a precious little thing suspended weightlessly in the air temporarily took Damian's mind away from his grim work. "This is a good sign." Joining the gathering throng of wizards and witches, the unspeakable put on his reading glasses to get a better look.

"After times of war, the magical world wants to heal. We usually only note the increase in new witches and wizards being born, but there's evidence that nature also experiences an age of rebirth and growth." Knowing better than to touch the floating seedling, Damian instead sat down on his knees before it, despite the discomfort in his bad leg.

"The druids say that these trees used to grow in groves as far as the eye can see in all directions. The land below was completely unspoiled, with the entire ecosystem existing above the ground. Nobody knows exactly what happened to the groves, but there are multiple cautionary tales involving greed, and our stewardship of nature."
