Mason felt Eve's presence all around him even before he reached the tree. It didn't give him any kind of dungeon prompt, and he entered her tree through something like a regular door. Albeit a magi...

Mason paced in front of the portal until he ran out of patience. Which, admittedly, probably wasn’t very long.
