The dense forest is broken by a clearing here.  In the center is a large
tree, the branches of which block paths into the forest.  This place is
different from the part of the forest you have been wandering in.  There is
a certain order here, which implies some sort of intelligence.  While the
forest is definitely magical, this place is different.  There is a mind at
work here.  
A willowy dryad lounges cheerily by her tree.
