You circle the pool to it’s far side before you see two glowing spots on the tree. Abruptly the tree moves, but not slowly and ponderously as one might expect from a massive tree that has been planted in place for who knows how long. This thing moves fast, so fast that it splashes across the water, but doesn’t sink into it. One moment it’s there, and then it’s a blur of motion off into the darkness. “Lost and forgotten maybe, but I remember. It has been too long since I received a sacrifice.” The words are not heard, they are just there in your mind, directionless.
Roll init.

"sacrifice there is not here, here to save you and sooth you yes, i heard your cries and now your not alone." she says outloud not realising the words are in her head as she looks around with an almost childlike wonder.

Seeing the tree stand up run across the water, I quickly run over to tawny weapon in hand. "there will be no sacrifices here today for you tree." I exclaim while standing there at the ready. Takes a quick look at tawny just to make sure she is alright then back to where the tree went.

“It has been so long since any dared come for the trial.” Once more the alien thoughts float across your mind, almost like they were your own, but yet not quite. An abrupt flare of light bursts from where the creature ran off to. For a moment you can see the tree with a branch pointed in your direction as a beam of molten energy flashes toward Kosga.

"ooh a trial, is it a game, i like games." she says outloud with a child like giggle before responding with her own firebolt. raising her hand a purplish glow seems to surround her and then burst from the palm of her outstretched hand fireing back at the tree.

Your fire bolt streaks across the darkness, but as the light from the bolt reaches where the creature was, it hits only the rear wall. The creature must have moved after it attacked.

"sneaky sneaky tree, come out and play." she giggles again as she looks around trying to peer into the darkness.

Try as you might, it's pitch black down here aside from the small radius of light around the torch, and the brazier that was lit by the door. The tree creature isn't trying to hide exactly, but it's so fast that targeting it is difficult.
(In game terms, you both will have disadvantage on attacks against it because of it's supernatural speed.)

I start to circle the room in random directions using my darkvision as well as the torch light in an attempt to find it. the moment I do, my great sword will swing with deadly accuracy.

Over the next minute or two, the two of you circle the entire room. Turns out that it is in fact round, and the pillars are located at similar distances around the entire room. Oddly you don’t see the giant tree creature at all. Strange that.

"You seem to know what I am, and that I was trapped here." the words float across both your minds, giving no sound for you to follow to it's source. Kosga you start to feel lighter, so light in fact that you start to lift off the ground! There, some sixty feet away is the tree, just on the edge of your darkvision Kosga. It's far enough away from the torchlight to still be in complete darkness, and thus not able to be seen by Tawny.
(Kosga, if you don't want to be levitated I need you to make a Con Save.)

"there it is!!" I point so that tawny can at least have a general knowledge of where it is. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" I exclaim loudly while resisting the will of some force to cause me to float.

Kosga, through sheer force of will you anchor yourself back to the ground and resume your normal weight once more. The creature seems to realize that it's spell failed as it pivots and dashes off into the darkness once more. Tawny, you turn to see the barest blur of tree as it vanishes into the black.
(until things get back to combat, each of you just take a turn and I'll keep popping in to mess with you.)

"i know you, just as you know me. let me help you be free. trails can be fun if you just let us see?" she says as she tries to track the tree again but with out being able to see it, its hard to fight it, not that she really wants to fight it.

A moment later the creature’s thoughts slide across both your brains, “The darkness holds no mysteries that the light can’t reveal.” Abruptly every one of the brasiers ignite all at once. The entire room is bathed in bright light. Scanning around the room you still do not see the creature.

"see see there is kindness in you, not just anger at being forgotten, the long ears may have forgotten but i never did, i came as soon as i could." she says as she slowly turns around the room. spreading her wings out to their full length as she looks around the room.

The tree looms forward from behind a pillar, coming to rest on the opposite side of the pool from the pair of you. “Why have you come? This one cannot catch me, and you claim to know me, but failed to follow any of the rites.”

"rites what rites? those i know nothing of as the long ears wont share the stories with an outsider. so teach me? so that i can set you free, then you will no longer be forgotten," she says as she sits down folding her wings up behind her again.

“You don’t know the rites. You don’t know the rites.” It paces back and forth, but it moves so fast that it becomes a blur and you have trouble focusing on it. “If you’re here, then the stone is moved!” The creature darts off toward the exit, and bolts into the hall at a full run and vanishes from sight.
(The thing can move, dash as an action and bonus action for 300ft per turn. It’s gone.)

You don't even make it out of the room before all the braziers that it had lit before wink out at once. You can't even hear the tree's movement in the hallway as you approach the entrance to the chamber. You can still see since the braziers by the door are lit, but the room is once more cast in darkness. Tawny, you know that that creature needs to be in this chamber for the health of the island. It is a conduit between the fae realm and the material plane, without that conduit the flow of natural magic will cease and things could get bad for the people that live here.

Keeping a sharp eye out for whatever this tree thing is. Do we have enough material to keep lighting more of the braziers?
Look down the hallway into the darkness as well, can I see anything like this tree type thing? the one what I will soon use to light these braziers with?

Perhaps we have had a misunderstanding. The braziers that you guys gathered wood for are all still lit. The creature fled down the hallway, and out of the corridor entirely. It's fast enough that it can run from the room to outside in a single turn.

she races outside and looks around. "oh no, the tree is gone and with it goes the magic. hurry slow friend we must get it back." she calls behind her as she unfolds her wings again.

You reach the surface once more, and look around. You see a lot of trees, but not one of them seems to be moving around. You spend a minute or so scanning the area and find nothing to indicate where the creature went. What's the plan now kids?

"I am coming oh swift one.I am coming." taking a look around outside then the realization sets in that we are looking for a tree in a forest.
"now what? we are trying to find a tree in the forest this could take forever." I say while taking a look around.

You pass by all the carvings of Elves completing rituals on your way out of the cave. Once outside you begin your search of the area. You see a slight stir in the leaves that indicates that something fast moved inland. You get a direction from you search, but even a dozen paces from where you picked up the trail it is gone. As you said, a tree in the forest isn’t the easiest thing to find. You’re actually impressed, as a creature that big should be leaving massive foot prints that would be simple to follow, but this thing isn’t leaving you anything at all.

"to the long ears!" she shouts and unfolds her wings to take to the air to fly above the trees. hoping maybe she can see better from up in the air as being on the ground isnt helping her and she is getting frustrated. " if only the long ears had shared, but no just cause im not a long ear means i dont get to know the things, well now its gotten them in trouble, so now we must save them, stupid long ears." she grumbles seeming lost in her own thoughts as she flys up in the air. large tawny wings stretched out from her back.
