2nd Alliance in the Fantastical Forest

The 2nd alliance to come to the Fantastical Forest will find themselves in a dense part of the forest where the sun doesn’t reach the forest floor. You walk blindly beneath the canopies before it opens up to a vibrant array of colors dancing along the branches. A feeling of peace washes over you as the area drops leaves behind every step you take. You walk closer and closer to the center to find a large tree with a face etched into its trunk. A pedestal sits resting in front of the tree with three triangles surrounding the sword itself. The sword glows slightly from its spot. You feel as if the forest is asking you to pull it from the pedestal. Will you pull it?
