Hyperion Tree

Aduin stuck close to the others as they traveled along the coast. They had come across a forest filled with very, very tall trees. He had to imagine how long it would take a chipmunk, or a squirrel to reach the top. Just looking up to the canopy made him feel dizzy, so he quickly led his eyes down. What he saw amazed him. One of the large trees lay against the ground, the dirt and undergrowth around it disturbed by when it must have fallen. He caught a glance at Seb, who was gaping at the fallen tree. He couldn't help but think of the small animals that had lived in it. Now they had lost their home.

"What could have caused this to fall?" he wondered aloud, before trotting on, his eyes glued to the large tree. It would be a smart move to avoid this area, and always be on the lookout for trees that look like they could fall. As he passed the tree, he could only stare at the gaping tunnel inside. Curiosity got the best of him as he lifted his forepaws onto the rim, peering inside. It must have gone on for some length. He took a deep breath, and let out a quiet bark. One that echoed much louder than it truly was.
