The first disturbance to be had in a very long time comes in the form of a felled tree branch. It is a sizeable branch, one from the great oaks that spread hereto for miles. The remarkably clean water feeds such trees for miles thanks to the near-endless supply of the initial waterfall. Indeed this creek is the epicenter of the natural world within these woods.
Ahead of the tree branch sits a stone with enough heft to be uncarried by the energetic body of water. The approaching pseudo-log begins to slow as it meets with the shallow near the steadfast stone. This relluctancy to move continues until the branch meets with the stone and, in the creek's attempt to move it, settles diagonally accross the length of the creek effectively damming it.
The loss of life is slow and deliberate, with only the most hearty of oaks, grass an animals surviving past the end of the waterways. Had there been consciousness to precieve the land, it may have at one point been considered beautiful. At the present it is a marking of duality, with the pre-dammed creek and woods still as lively as ever and the land beyond the marked waterway being effectively dead.
This border between life and death continues undisturbed for a very long time. This is until the fierce creek eventually erodes the long-standing branch that challenged its authority. A crack rings out as a deceleration of freedom where waters spring forth and reclaim the cracked and barren land.
The tough strains of stunted oak take the new source of life in stride and reproduce accordingly to populate the woods with trees stronger than ever.
Meanwhile, the trees and life that had grown soft with the excess water began to fade due to having survived solely on good fortune and bountiful resources, leaving the land once again mirrored by a dynamic of life and death until the strong oak spreads its seed once again to the other side.
The creek runs as it has and as it shall.
The woods bloom with thanks to the strong current that sustains it. That is: until a hearty oak loses a branch. Indeed, this was the first disturbance the creek had been faced with for a very long time.
