As the azure giant eagle flew further and further away, the area around the ancient tree seemed to instantly become vibrant. Several fat rats burrowed out from underground, beginning to gnaw at the roots of the surrounding grass.
A nest of fist-sized mutant ants rushed out swiftly, directly enveloping these large rats. Their bloody hunt had begun!
In the vicinity of the ancient tree, several larger animals could faintly be seen.
With a gust of wind, the ancient tree rustled. At the junction between its crown and branches, a pair of muddy yellow eyes opened.
Watching the forest come back to life once more with the disappearance of the Giant Eagle's pressure, a touch of kindness showed in the corners of the ancient tree's eyes.
A forest should be vibrant and lively, not turned into a wasteland by a single super mutant beast!
The tree's branches, like hands, began to wave, gently caressing its own abdomen.
