*throws knives at the tree* Stupid Dusk. You have to use your adrenaline!
I'll help cover the kid over there! I'm fast enough. This guy's useless along with the rest of ya!

Return to the earth where you belong!
*leaves light on fire*
............................
[So now we have a scary rotting trunk with it's leaves on fire, but the tree is still standing and using the burning leaves as a new weapon. Way to make it worse, Syl]
.................Any other bright ideas?

How about we leave it alone? It is nature, after all.
At least in this world it is...

*sits down on grass at a safe distance, forgetting about the rest*
Say, this grass feels less dry. Or maybe it's because I have been in a desert too long... Perhaps there's a water source not too far down. I wonder what happens if I break this earth...

Since there's two, they certainly don't look uncommon! Nature or not, they're threatening us, so why the hell not?! People kill people out of self defense, too.

But I'M supposed to be DEAD.
*somewhat angry* Why would I want to defend my life when I should've passed on? When you're dead, you're better off dead.
*returns to indifferent demeanor* Nevermind. Ultimate reality has its own way of working things, and I'm not meant to understand it...
Whether I was transported here by mistake or not, it's not my problem. But I've put off my task for too long...

*overhears Enlil*
*looks up* Why would you have a life when you're dead?
By the way, if you would stand aside, I could make a crevice and have the trees fall in.

*looks toward Cario's direction* ...... (That's my question: If I'M DEAD the why am I still ALIVE?)
Go ahead and make your crevice. While you're at it, shall I make a tornado?

*suddenly looks dark and threatening* If you make a tornado, perhaps I'll give you a storm then...
...! *shakes head back to normal self* Only if they dodged my crevice. Then you can blow them in or something. Stand back now. *gets on knees and puts hand on earth* Let's hope this won't be as hard as desert land... Open up.
[A crack forms under his hand, and moves towards one burning tree, growing bigger as it does, until it becomes a crevice under it.]

Who the hell cares if you're SUPPOSED to be DEAD. There's plenty of religious doctrines teaching about life after death, and even though I don't go through any religious experiences through the death and transition, but I've been given life.
Don't tell me you thought death would serve as an escape. Those thoughts are for hopeless dreamers.
*just now noticing the crevice* Wh-whoa....

There's no water under there, if that's what you're looking for.
*tree is falling through*
But there is no bottom, so you have my gratitude for getting rid of that one.

Ooh~? Maybe there is water, and it's just hiding itself from you~ This place is not fit for explanations after all!

...What's what?

Death lasts only for an instant. But after death... what would call it? Life? *encircles self with a weak breeze, only enough to sway the grass* (Does that mean I'll end up living forever?) *smirk* How boring.
*glances down at the crevice* *perks up and smiles* Excellent work! I think you have uncovered the source of the undead trees.

A bad assumption on my part. With your ability to use water, and the tree on fire, I thought that's be it. I did not mean to offend you if it did.
Ah, so the smell wasn't this tree's alone.

*raising an eyebrow at your use of wind for dramatic effect*
What's wrong with calling it life? It's not that much different. You're conscious, speaking, and have an identity. Besides, "life" is just a word. It really doesn't matter what it's called, right? We all have artistic licenses, so call it whatever the heck you want.
I think you're being overly dramatic about the concept of death. Just accept it, and if you really want to be "dead" so much, be patient and wait for this "life" of yours to end.
Holy sh---!! *stepping back farther away from the crevice*
Maybe you could, uhh, I dunno, close it back up?
Re:*grabs Dusk by the collar*
Cario

It's fine. In my world, any mage can handle basic elements, I just went in depth with the water and specialize in it. There's also further specialization after that, but... *suddenly looks dark and hungry* I haven't been using it for a while...
*shakes head, then looks in the crevice* Huh. You wonder how they got to the surface. *pauses* Er, I don't know how to close crevices. Small cracks, maybe...
Oh hey, our tree's fire seems to catching on.
