A Spell to Grow a Tree

A magpie witnesses the effects of human encroachment upon its natural homeland and yearns for a better future. Somewhere, in a hazy dream filled with specks of gold, there exists a beautiful forest untouched by construction. A seed sprouts tentatively from its broken longing. Perhaps, one day, this seed will grow into a home.
