The gatherers opened a large, sturdy, wooden door. They hadn’t broken any rules yet, so this was still permissible territory, but this fact was soon to change. Not that it mattered, as the gatherers were in the house of dreams for one sole reason: to steal a twig from the great tree of wisdom, so its many properties could be propagated and shared with the world. It was uncharacteristically selfish of the creator, to hoard such a treasure and not give it freely, but these imbalances could be fixed. Of course, they weren’t the first group of gatherers. No less than 12 groups had tried this exact same mission, and all were expelled from the house of dreams and driven insane by their punishment. This compelled the benefactors of the gatherers to try even harder, for any prize so difficult to achieve must contain wealth and value beyond measure. The gatherers entered the room, strode to the very corner of the room where a branch of the tree hung low enough to reach from the ground, and began looking for a good place to cut a sapling. To their surprise, there were several obvious cuts and branches lying on the ground from previous propagation attempts, which made it seem like the gatherers had cut their sample and immediately dropped it. Undeterred by all the warning signs, the leader of the gatherers bade their comrades to keep watch and to the best of their ability, return the branch sample home.
