This was a tough spot for Darion. Traversing across the ragged, fragile body of the tree was hard enough, but not being noticed by it was another. He felt bad for putting Kari and Dust in this position and was going to have to move quickly to avoid the two getting hurt. A question popped in his head as he carefully tried to move along, what if the fragment can't be taken out without alerting the tree? Will it cause him to attack Kari and Dust? Darion paused for a moment. He couldn't live with himself if something happened to Kari....Kari. He shook it off and began to move quicker, determined not to let this old piece of paper hurt her in anyway.
When the tree began to laugh, the shaking almost caused Darion to lose his grip. "Damn it..Stupid tree.." He muttered as he continued to move. The fragment was right there! Within a few inches of his grasp! He was filled with excitement and nervousness, it was a long time coming but he was just about to grab the fragment. Closing in, he saw looked into the tree's core and sure enough..The left arm fragment. Darion didn't pull it out yet, he was still in shock that he actually found it and was looking right at it. Carefully reaching inside to pull the fragment out, his concentration was broken by the sound of Dust's cry, causing Darion to hit the inside of the tree. Fortunately, the tree didn't seem to notice. No more time for games..Darion thought as he grabbed the fragment and put in his bag.
Now he was going to have to figure out how to get the tree's attention off Kari and Dust. Going down would be in the tree's favor..Aha! Darion got a risky idea and began to climb up the tree's backside towards his neck. Darion was going to have to find out where exactly the tree would be able to hear him..So, he started shouting until the tree turned its attention.
"HEY! TREE! Leave them alone! They didn't wake you up!"
"WHO ARE YOU? WHERE ARE YOU? SO I CAN STOMP YOU INTO THE EARTH."
"I'm a crazy explorer! That's who! And I'm right behind you!"
The tree growled and slowly began to turn around to look for whomever was talking. Repeating what he did before, starting by looking upon the canopy of the dark forest, then looking down while squinting super hard. He saw nothing and roared.
"WHERE ARE YOU? SHOW YOURSELF?!" As he continued to turn his view left and right.
While the tree was looking for Darion, This was probably and opportune moment to call down to Kari. Darion left from near the tree's face and up onto the shoulder of the creature. He began to wave his arms down at Kari. Darion began motioning a strange sequence of actions. Moving his hands and arms in a bit of charades. The message looked to be, when the tree turns back around, unleash your arrows into his face.
