[4] Raamo D’ok, a 13-year-old Kindar boy in a seemingly idyllic society, learns that he has been Chosen to join the Ol-zhaan, Green-sky's elite ruling class.

Pensing (telepathy), kiniporting (telekinesis) and grunspreking (influencing plant life) are extremely important "spirit-skills" that have all but disappeared from the Kindar gene pool.

It seems that the Ol-zhaan have also lost the Spirit-skills, and are hiding the fact that the roots that secure Green-sky are dying and the Pash-shan may soon emerge.

Returning to the forest floor, Genaa has a joyful reunion through the vines with her father, Hiro D’anhk, who says he was drugged and imprisoned like many other Kindar "taken by the Pash-shan".

The society's structure and its implications are discussed at length in Rob McAlear's "Ideology of the Wissenvine"[5] and in Carrie Hintz's "Joy but Not Peace"[6]
