"When spring comes, we can begin nurturing seeds into saplings and planting new trees here," Ashlynn said as Ollie and Virve pressed in beside her to look at the graceful curving lines and carefully marked areas of the diagram Ashlynn had unrolled. "But right now, it's time to pay respect to the fallen trees that once stood here by giving them a new place in our Enchanted Grove."
In her mind's eye, she could already see the place that she intended for this to become. Some sections would hold fruit trees that could be nurtured to grow exceptional fruits that could provide far more than simple sustenance. Elsewhere, she would cultivate exotic trees from across the world, providing not only unique materials for witches' wands and other forms of magic, but seeds for future generations of her coven.
