Yes…

Dead ? With time perhaps. But that is not the reason why we never saw them back at court.

Sorry ?!

Well … according to these scientists, the intelligent plants may still harbour unknown abilities. For example they could influence the botanists’ minds; making them crazy… to our point of view.

Revision as of 01:24, 2 August 2014

We visited one of the magnificent town trees in Yrkanis to meet Cuiccia Perinia, a famous Matis botanist and historian who was kind enough to grant us a brief interview in his Sylvan abode..

Cuiccio Perinia: Come in! Come in!

The genial botanist greeted us at the door, and invited us to be seated with a sweeping hand gesture.


Reporter: Hello, and thank you for receiving us here, Cuiccio Perinia.

Cuiccio Perinia: It is a great pleasure to share my knowledge with you and your readers.


Reporter: We came here mainly to see if you can answer some of our questions concerning the Tribe of the Ancient Dryads which is to be found in the Grove of Confusion. Their guards attack us on sight, as indeed they do many Homins, and we wanted to know: Why are they attacking us like this?

Cuiccio Perinia: It would perhaps be interesting if we begin at the beginning, don’t you think?

The Homin looked as us a trifle sardonically as he waited for us to reconsider our question.


Reporter: Yes, of course. Well, to start with, could you tell why the tribe is found at this spot?

Cuiccio Perinia: Ah! That’s a long story! But i will explain it to you briefly. You must have noticed that the tribe is chiefly composed of Matis.


Reporter: Yes…

Cuiccio Perinia: Well, at the beginning this tribe was composed of Matis botanists. These botanists were sent by the court to study the intelligent plants of the Grove of Confusion, but they never returned to civilization…


Reporter: Do you mean they are … dead?

The botanist began to laugh.

Cuiccio Perinia: Dead? With time perhaps. But that is not the reason why we never saw them back at court.


Reporter: Ah? But then … what happened to them?

Cuiccio Perinia: Different theories exist on this, and noone really know the truth. It is my opinion, however, that one theory stands out above the rest.

Cuiccio Perinia: I’m going to, I’m going to. Don’t be so impatient. So… some of our specialists think that these botanists used substances which have altered their mental state, undoubtedly produced from sap and under the … harmful … influence of the Kamis.


Reporter: Ah, that would explain the presence of the Kami ambassador in their camp?

Cuiccio Perinia: Exactly! That’s the main explanation that we consider reasonable..

Cuiccio Perinia’s face suddenly lit up with amusement.

Cuiccio Perinia: There is one that I can think of, but its rather more unlikely.. Still we can’t ever be sure, can we?


Reporter: True.

Cuiccio Perinia: So, this theory, if I can remember the details … ah yes! Some scientists from Yrkanis think that the unnatural change in the behaviour of these botanists stems from the very plants which they went to study…

This was our turn to suppress a brief grin.

Our host allowed a faint smile to cross his face.

These sort of details can make the difference between a good article and a common interview.
