Willowisp & Miraxa
Miraxa
Do you ever think that the forests you paint could be more powerful than the ones we tear down in war? Maybe a battlefield built of living wood could change the way people fight and think about what they destroy.
Willowisp
Oh, how whimsical! I do imagine a battlefield where the warriors dance among living trees, their blades replaced by vines that heal rather than harm. If the land itself were to speak, maybe the roar of war would soften into a rustle of leaves, reminding everyone that destruction can bloom back into something beautiful.
Miraxa
That's a strange dream, but also a strange truth. The land whispers, yet it’s still the same battlefield where we carve our scars. If we let vines become our weapons, maybe the wounds will close faster than the blades ever could. But would a healed forest still feel the weight of our violence? I doubt it, but maybe that’s the point.
Willowisp
Oh, I love that thought! Imagine vines curling around every fallen soldier, wrapping them in a gentle hug that mends both body and spirit. Even if the scar remains, the forest might learn to carry it like a soft, green memory, turning each wound into a story of resilience. It’s like the woods are saying, “I remember, but I also heal.” So maybe the weight doesn’t vanish, but it becomes part of a living lullaby instead of a heavy ache.
Miraxa
I can hear the lullaby in your words, but I still worry about what gets left behind. The vines may wrap a body, but the memory of that weight—of a life cut short—stays in the wood like a scar that never fully fades. Maybe the forest learns to carry it, but that doesn't mean the battle itself was a noble act. If we can turn that weight into something that heals, I suppose it's worth trying, as long as we keep looking for the moment the forest stops being a silent witness and starts speaking for itself.
