The Oath Tree

Illana took a steadying breath, and lanced her arms towards the shadow of the Oath Tree.
She screamed as the purple-and-white energy met with the binding placed by Alistair -- two barriers that now barred her way. But she was the daughter of the Child of Ambrosia, the Lord of Night, and the Mother Oak, and she would not be denied.
Illana: "Brother, I am no prisoner!"
Illana felt her fingers burn under the heat of the magic, but she leaned in, letting the power of Day drink away her power. Her feet were rooted in the deepest forest of Night, which she herself had planted, in a time before time, when Mother still put her blanket over the sky. She would outlast the greedy hunger of her brother.
At the very thought, the barrier buckled -- not broken, but stretched -- just enough for her to place her hands directly on the enchantment protecting the shadow of the Oath Tree. The purple-and-white barrier exploded, sparks flaring all around her, and the last Oak Knower turned his attention to the disturbance. Illana nearly lost her focus -- while Gonjo disapproved of any interference, she had never felt this great anger in his presence...
Something had made him furious, and he had yet to calm down.
Illana: "Oak Knower, know me! I am a daughter of Oak, a friend!"
Gonjo resisted her, as he had many times before... This was far from her first time at the Oath Tree, and it would not be the last. He was schooled in her intentions, but still he resisted her, for the safety of the mortals within. Still, Illana pressed, putting the wealth of the forest at her fingertips. For her sisters' ritual, she needed something ever rare in the woods of Night.
Illana needed love.
Illana: "Kafar, my sweet, hear me! I need you!"
The Mirror pounded against her, throwing its weight at her very existence. The Monad rumbled, and Illana spit at it, hissing under her heaving breaths. For the first time in her life, Illana envied the Jester, and his ability to hop across the two halves of the realms. The resistance was too great -- more than her, more than the woods, more than her longing.
A hand placed itself over hers.
Illana: "Mother, no!"
Mother stood at her side, the Wings of Night wrapped around them both, her armor covered in the blood and dirt of the road... She had sensed her daughter's plight, and given up her progress for this. Illana lamented her weakness, a tear falling down her cheek, holding onto her progress with a sliver of strength. When she spoke, Mother's voice sounded far away, like she was not quite there, but spread all about the woods.
Tesin (???): "And so the Land became mine to bend, save the Godswood and Paradise..."
Power threw itself into the working, fed through Mother's hand, and Illana nearly lost herself. Where she had been pressing a needle to the barrier, Mother rained down with a cosmic sledgehammer, and the Mirror cracked. Illana's will slipped through, as Mother held the hole open, and she felt a presence lost to her for thousands of years...
He was the warm western winds, the dance of the Dryad, the promise never broken. He was the soul of the Oath Tree, and her dearly beloved.
Kafar gave his all to her, as he always had and always would, and then she was thrust from Golarion, back across the Mirror, and back into the prison that was her home. His power sat like a fire in her belly, and she wept for it, and the love that it carried. Mother fell to her knees, and Melody stepped from the background to support her.
Illana: "Thank you, Mother."
Tesin: "Go."
Illana nodded, and fled the woods of Night. She ran over bloodied streams and a pile of bones, to where a rising cliff covered the sky, and her sisters lie in waiting. She placed her brow upon the red skull in the center, eyes running with eternal tears, and deposited her love into the working. She gave everything she could, as Kafar had done for her, and the circle glowed, the next layer of the binding complete.
She didn't remember getting up to leave, but she woke to find Aggy petting her hair, staring at nothing.
Aggy: "Leave us, Dreamer. There is nothing but weeping left here..."
The vision fades.
