The Family Tree Café & Venue - Open for Business!

[Xiga]

Nature.. gone... Trees destroyed... Who does such a thing...? Why the cafe...? Have I done anything wrong...??

Strewn about the once flourishing cafe-grounds are sticks, fallen trees, fairy lights, lanterns, and it's all just a general mess. The land is barren from its once lush green, and the horizon is clear. A horizon filled with destruction.

The elderly drakanite stands amidst it all. Tears streamed down her face.

"Why...?"

In the distance, a hooded figure was spotted, cutting more trees.. And the elder approached to stop them. 

A battle occurred..

Victorious, but still at loss over the dreadful loss of life and land, Maple announces their pain to the world.

"Why d'ye d' this..? 
Comin' fo' mah Cafe... 

T' tear down mah home...
Why..?

Why can't ye just come an' speak with me 'f ye've trouble..? No' send vandals after tha lands..!

Ah'm old.. Tired.. an' wounded.. Ah wish.. esshar would just be kind fo' once...

We could've come t' some sort o' understandin an' now.. this..?
Ah really truly don' want anyone t' get hurt.. Nor mah home.. So ah defend 't.. 
Ah'm sorry...

Please.. Please, be kind t' one 'nother, nature an' life... This should ne'er 'ave happened..."

Slowly they began cleaning the best she could... Shuffling the debris to the side.. Picking up the lamps.. putting out the fire-hazards. 
It had been a terribly long year.
