Yielding of the Seed (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798895532751)

A mysterious tree yields a strong and powerful seed. A seed that is desired by both humans and animals. Raccoons want to consume the seed because of the transforming effects that it has on them. It will give them intelligence and allow them to speak with a human tongue. It will also allow them to walk upright on two legs and enjoy their new four-feet height. Humans desire the seed for the simple reason that it stops their aging process. However, they are unaware of the effect it causes in them when they leave the proximity of the tree. They will then become a Blood Craver and are controlled by their desire to consume human blood. They are given the gifts of strength and speed along with fangs and claws to help accomplish their desire for human blood.

David gathers the party together before they start the last part of the trip. He tells them what his grandson has told him about the strange animals. That they have been altered because of this mysterious tree and the yielding of the seed. He tells them that he believes his grandson. That what he witnessed down in Silage is beyond his ability to comprehend. So why can't there be talking raccoons and possums and bears?

He tells them to expect the unexpected when they reach the top and not to be surprised by anything they see or hear. That they are fixing to enter a world that has existed long before theirs. To be alert and aware of their surroundings.

"This thing they are after is not to be taken lightly. She will kill you, if you give her the chance. We are not here to take her alive, so let's get this done."
