The Praying Tree

The Praying Tree is the oldest tree. It has a tall, thick trunk that supports it through the most torrential rain, the strongest storms. Its roots entangle with each other and spread a good 30 feet outwards before sinking into the rich soil to gain the nutrients it needs to live. It seems to be an underground place to pray if you crawl through the tiny doorway and grab the iron pole, and plummet down, down,down, through the darkness.
