The First Green Shoot

The first sprout of spring has appeared in the town square, glowing with gentle emerald light. Druids claim it is a herald of a bountiful season, but farmers whisper that if it is uprooted, famine will follow. Protect the miraculous plant from vandals, opportunists, and superstitious mobs while uncovering the ancient spirit that woke beneath the cobblestones.
