"And I worry deeply about my mother," the tree added. "Someone with incredible power is trying to tamper with her—to rewrite her very being and change her into something else… something wicked."
"…!" Emeraldine seemed to panic. "We can't let that happen!"
"Exactly. That's why you're here," the tree said.
"Can't you two do something? You've lived for that long," Maria asked.
