The Grotto della Sibilla in the Umbrian Mountains which was first mentioned in classical legend. Guerino the Wretch reaches a mountain pass near Norcia in Umbria where he meets with the Devil. The Devil, of course, wants Guerino's soul and tempts him by describing a subterranean kingdom where every delight will be his. Seemingly, in this kingdom, trees flower and fruit at the same time and there is no pain or age or sorrow.
I wandered out hoping to find a Silky Oak to talk to and lo and behold the Silky Oak Spirit came out, beckoning me to go inside her tree dwelling to unravel a mystery. Anyone else want to come to tea with the Silky Oak Spirit?

I'll say yes to that, I'd love to have tea with the Silky Oak Spirit. She looks resplendent in her silky green armour.
With my family name being Oakes, how could I resist such an offer?
There are so many mysteries, but all of them about me. The Diviner's task is the easier one, I assure you. Reasons and excuses are easier to come up with than questions.
I ask...I ask you...oh, how do I ask you? How do I ask you "Where did she go? Where am I hiding?" The last time I saw her, the dull, hypothetical sky was half a mile away and the downward wind blew dark and knowing. Then she was gone. Gone like she was never even supposed to have been there. Where did she go then, Stephanie's Spirit? Where am I hiding?
Surely, now, the Spirit in the Oak can commune with the Spirit in the Oakes and lead her home.
Steph
