Chapter 73

When the Earth gives its signal, I open my hands wide and give the command. All around me I can feel the harsh thuds of trees falling. This is a remote area and I've already checked that each tree has a safe place to land, but the sound of them falling is terrifying and loud, but the thing that truly breaks my heart and causes me pain, is that I can feel their life essence disappearing. I force myself to continue, feeling how quickly my energy is draining. My wolf whimpers and howls in pain from inside me, but I can't stop. I have to end their suffering. I have to finish this. The Earth needs me. She needs this done so that others can prosper and live full lives, free of pain and suffering. As soon as space is freed up from within the Earth, I begin to move each tree that needs to be moved. It's like a giant puzzle, with an infinite amount of pieces, but I can't lose focus. The rest of the trees are depending on me. So many have already given their lives for this cause, and I need to be strong enough to finish. I can still feel the tears flowing from my eyes and as I open my mouth to scream, the rusty taste of blood hits my tongue and I realize that I'm bleeding from my nose. I can feel the energy is leaving my limbs and I cannot fathom how I'm still standing, but I am.
