The tree stood tall, stark and dead against the sky. Branches easily crack off some of the branches.
“That is what we are looking for, a rampike,” Old Emrys’ voice was firm. “A tree that’s life was ended violently.”
“That’s what’s needed, a tree’s corpse?” Derwyn was skeptical.
“It and your own blood to revive it.”
“And that will make a powerful wand?”
“Yes.”
Emrys’ fingers bit into Derwyn’s arm. There wasn’t time to scream, only a gurgle of red life bubbling between lips.
“Blood to feed. bringing life. Power to wand from branch’s knife.”
Alive the wood glowed ominously.
