“The source.”
“Did you find it?” D’aerul’s chest heaved as he spat out the words.
“I don’t think this is a tree all,” she said.
Erin pressed against the outline. The bark receded into the tree, revealing a sunken compartment and the source of the blue light. She pulled out a small crystal sphere.
“Um… What are we supposed to do with that?”

New to Other Worlds? Start at the beginning.
i wonder if i’d be brave enough to enter into a compartment with pulsing blue light?
I think I might hesitate, unless it was a matter of life or death!
