[ Oh look it's a tree without any flowers. It's kind of just... standing there for the moment. 'Cause that's what trees do, you know? ]

Write a book, have a child, and... plant a tree.
[ A petal would fall here, if there were any, as the tree takes its time speaking... ]
Those are but three goals to have in one lifetime.
[ ...and a petal would fall there as another moment passes. ]
Have you done any of the three?

Yes, such a kind child... [ With those words repeated, the voice fades off as she begins. As soon as she does so, however, it seems as if the tree can never be satisfied. It's like a void-- this border between life and death-- and its hunger is eternal, for it, too, only feeds on life and soul itself. In fact, she may feel a pull on her own life, a welcoming draw into its roots, to become nourishment.

Spoilers the tree is actually very very evil and giving it life is exactly what it wants. ]

[Ceireia herself is considered evil by some. Although her goal isn't evil itself, the path she has taken to achieve that goal has corrupted her body and soul. It isn't often that her own personality breaks through the darkness that now controls her. The tree might actually feel a much larger, darker presence within her keeping her own life in check. It wouldn't want to lose its vessel, after all.]
