If Dalia had genuinely wanted him dead, this was the perfect opportunity. He had voluntarily dismantled his strongest defensive form and exposed his original body while already restrained by her roots. She could have killed him effortlessly. But she hadn't. That didn't prove all of his suspicions.
It didn't tell him what Dalia wanted. It didn't reveal whether the ancient force he suspected existed actually wanted his cooperation. But it proved one crucial thing. They didn't intend to kill him unless it became necessary. And as long as that remained true, Thalorien still had room to negotiate.
Now that his survival was out of the way, he needed to figure out how he could get out of his predicament and turn this loss into a win for the Snow Elven race. Just then, the suns and moons the Celestial Treant move to their original place while the Celestial Treant also morphed to its original realm form.
