About the Author
Chapter 1 Discovery
Ash lived in a small village deep in a dense green forest. This village was like any other small village—everyone knew everyone. Ash loved her little village because she always felt safe. But Ash’s village was very special.
The first special thing about Ash’s village was that all the villagers were enchanted trees, or treefolk. The treefolk had blue leaves with only a hint of green. The villagers could talk to each other, walk around, play together, and even fight.
The second special thing about the village was that the treefolk could move things with their thoughts. They called this skill thought-moving. The adult treefolk had a stronger thought-moving ability than the younger ones. The adults worked on the walls of the village, weaving vines among the forest trees and bushes. They made sure that anyone passing through the forest would see only a dense wooded patch and wouldn’t be able to reach the village.
Their children, treelings, moved much faster than the adults. These treelings liked to play games, and sometimes they got into trouble.
I think I’ve found the perfect nest,
said Ash, the fastest treeling in the village. She rippled her roots as she raced toward the nest.
Have the baby birds flown away?
Oakbloom asked. She was a very small treeling.
Yes! It’s clear,
Ash said. She rippled her roots along like a caterpillar to get closer to the nest.
Well then, what are we waiting for?
Flintleaf asked. He was one of the tallest and strongest treelings.
Ash and Flintleaf linked limbs and closed their eyes. The nest wobbled. Ash opened her eyes. Sorry. I’m still trying to figure out thought-moving,
Ash said.
I know. Me too,
Flintleaf said. Let’s try again.
They both closed their eyes, and the nest drifted off the tree’s branch.
I’ve got it!
Oakbloom yelled. She was too little to play, but she tried so hard that the other treelings let her join their game.
Ash’s eyes popped open as she rippled her roots to run and catch the nest, but it flew closer to Flintleaf.
Flintleaf leaned toward the nest and bounced it off one of his limbs before Oakbloom could get to it. She looked disappointed, but the larger treelings always reached the nest before the smaller ones.
Bounce the Nest, the treelings favorite game, got off to a good start. Several other treelings bounced the nest on their limbs before it flew toward Ash. She, Oakbloom, and Flintleaf raced to catch the nest. Ash rippled her roots so hard that she jumped into the air and bounced the nest to the next treeling before Oakbloom and Flintleaf could reach her. She shrieked and laughed. I got it! I got it!
Yeah. I’ll get it next time,
Flintleaf said with a grin.
Flintleaf and Oakbloom dashed toward the nest.
Ash started to follow, but something moved behind a clump of bushes. She stopped and surveyed the spot. Then she crept behind them. Ash gasped. She looked for Flintleaf and Oakbloom, but instead, she spotted her sister.
Laurelvine!
Ash said.
Ash, I’m busy!
Laurelvine said. Her leaves were light blue on the higher limbs and dark blue on the lower ones. She looked as if she had a crown on her head. Laurelvine tried to weave a few creepers into rope-vines, but she still didn’t have the hang of thought-moving. She huffed, What is it, Ash?
I don’t know. It’s like an animal … A rabbit? No. A deer? No. It moves on only two roots … It doesn’t have fur.
Okay. I’m coming,
said Laurelvine, who’d recently become an adult treefolk. Ash always recognized her sister’s slower pace as she rippled her roots along the ground. Usually younger treelings zipped along through the forest with their roots barely touching the ground, while the older adults moved a bit slower and tended to sway back and forth as they moved along.
When Laurelvine arrived, she looked at the animal and gasped. Oh, it’s a little girl!
Chapter 2 The Human
A girl?
Ash said. You mean, like me?
She and Laurelvine gazed at the girl’s light-brown skin and golden-brown dreadlocks.
Well, yes and no,
Laurelvine said. It’s a girl, but she’s very different from you because she’s a human.
What’s a human?
They’re sort of like animals, but they have very little hair. They also have two legs for walking and two arms. Also, humans can talk.
Talk?
Ash asked. How do you know so much about humans?
When I was a little seedling, before you were born, I used to wander about like Walnuttooth,
Laurelvine said. Sometimes I also got into trouble.
Just then, the little girl tripped and fell at the edge of the creek. The splash interrupted their conversation.
Do you think she’s lost?
Ash whispered as she turned to the wet little girl.
Yes. The nearest human town is a long way from here,
Laurelvine said.
The little girl stumbled toward them. Ash shivered and glanced at Laurelvine. Are humans dangerous?
No. I think she’s really tired,
Laurelvine said. She rubbed Ash’s limbs to comfort her.
Tell me more about humans,
Ash said.
I’ll tell you later,
Laurelvine said.
The little girl fell next to Ash and snuggled against her roots. A second later, she fell asleep.
It’s very unusual for humans to come this far into the forest,
Laurelvine said in a whisper. Ash, would you mind staying still for a little while? I think we should let her sleep.
Ash carefully surveyed the little girl asleep at her roots. She looked like a helpless baby animal, although Ash couldn’t figure out which one. Ash nodded to Laurelvine as she decided she’d keep the little girl safe.
Before long, Ash felt a familiar tremble in the ground. She knew who was coming. She glanced at Laurelvine, who rolled her eyes. Ash had gotten into trouble with Bitteralder a few days ago. She wished she could just walk away, but she didn’t want to wake the little girl. She hoped Laurelvine would do the talking.
What are you doing with that?
Bitteralder said, spitting out each word. She shook her leaves, and they turned bright blue as she glared at the sleeping girl. Don’t you know what you have there?
Bitteralder was an elder treefolk who almost never said anything nice. She thought the reckless treelings would destroy the village, or the small animals placed rocks on the trail to trip her, or the lightning tried to kill her. Bitteralder only saw the bad side of other treefolk, places, and situations.
A scared little girl. Keep your voice down,
Laurelvine said.
Don’t you know anything?
Bitteralder refused to lower her voice. This is a human!
Look, we have a village meeting tonight. Let’s talk then, and everyone will know what’s going on,
Laurelvine said.
Bitteralder harrumphed and peered at Ash. Just you watch yourself. I know you’re up to something.
She shivered her leaves again, then rippled her roots as she marched off.
When
