With the Guardian pedestal activated, and the path to the crystal cooled you continue forward. A small passageway behind the crsytals leads to another room which opened to the ocean side of the island. You could feel the air cool as you get closer to the next room. Air was being drawn up the walls from vents lower than the floor and it was all vented to the top of the cavern. There is dense vegetation in the room and it is wet beneath your feet. In the centre of the clearing is a large tree. 

Kiva slowly gestures to your right and you see the tree. "Another etheria tree!" Alster gasps, he really does like plants. Alster ran up to the cystal and utter some phrase about plants outliving people and whatever and then the crysal receeded into the tree. 

"The pedestal in this opening belongs to the Healers and ancient Medics," Kiva says. "The sprites refuse to tell me where it is however and I am not much of a healer." He smiles. 

You say out of the side of your mouth to Talik, "had time to learn though didn't he!" Talik elbowed you in the ribs and you stiffle the response.

Kiva continued, "I suppose they have to have their secrets."

Tharah sits at the base of the tree. "I'll try to convene with them and see what I can find out."

After a long moment of meditation, she says she can sense a pedestal hidden in the tree. She manages to convince the sprites to help. They circle around one of the roots, covered in dense etheria.

Alster steps forward and pushes back the overgrowth. "There's a pedestal here!" He pushed it out and it almost rolled to a position on the steps around the tree. 

As soon as his hand connects, the plants in the whole cave opening burst into bloom, and the etheria tree glows so bright for a moment, you have to shield your eyes.

"That seems to have recharged this tree and the energy flow around here, it should have restored the tower to almost full capacity," Kiva says. "But there's one more thing left to do."

For each time the word pedestal was mentioned in the text you must find different images or types of pedestal and insert them in a Google doc. Submit the doc as an assignment in Thy Quests.
