The fire appeared to be working. As Kai's flames caught upon the foliage the mountainside was alight with flame. Smoke billowed high into the air darkening the land. Even still the twin lights which spiraled above and the black spiral tower were unphased by it's works.
Then it happened. The fire itself began to change. It's bright red plumes were forming into large maple leaves. Spreading like a ripple in a pond, emanating from the tower, the fires all around were transmuted from heat and light into colorful autumn foliage which grew from the tree tops as the trees themselves continued to grow.
The power of the domain of plants was by no means small. Within it's current radius of half a mile everything subjected to it was infused with the essence of all plants. Even Kai was no exception to this. Already he was changing in some small degree. The scales on his wings were starting to shift into leaves of the same color. The longer he spent in the aura the closer to a plant he'd become.

The trembling of the land did not cease either. Great roots erupted through the mountain, winding itself around the twisted spire forming a massive trunk with a hole in the center for the light to emerge through. The people of the mountain who were changed into wood themselves found themselves caught up in the growth, being pulled up into the rising trunk as it continued to expand.
Despite these rapid changes from animal to vegetable was not in itself painful. Shocking and sudden for sure but there was no pain to be had from the change. Overhead those around could see what was once a cardinal was now a flying turnip, it's skin bright red as it flew upon the leaves which sprouted from it's top. With two little spots for eyes now it continued to flee from the quaking mountain like most animals had. Only the few who couldn't escape in time, like this bird, were changed.
The villagers did not suffer themselves either. Even those who were caught up in the trunk of the rising tree were not subject to pain. Despite being caught within the wood they found they were still growing in size themselves, quickly expanding to the size of regular trees and beyond. They could still feel and see, even talk though the only noise they elicited were panicked screams as everything they knew was gone in an instant.

In but a minute's time it seemed all the work the two of Drakairos's thirds had done was unmade, the trees growing past the damages and ever higher. The fires had burned away the leaves and singed the branch tips only to turn into large maple leaves which ran a plethora of bright autumn colors. The growth of the trees were not only above the ground but below too as the runs ran deeper and deeper. The winds that tore away lesser trees near the border did little more than ruffle the larger trees which grew not only taller but ever thicker, their roots ever longer and their foliage now orange with tinges of red.
Meanwhile the girl who had been caught by an overgrown root found herself starting to get pulled beneath the earth as the roots thickened and branches out beneath the dirt. Even the sight of her patron deity in the distance could not distract from the terror she felt towards being buried alive like this.
"L-lord Hayim! Help please! I- I'm being dragged below!" She waved frantically hoping to get his attention. Little did she know her skin had turned even more green, leaves covering the lengths of her arms. Her deep brown hair had begun to mat together into thin vines. Small green buds were already sprouting up all over along these lengths of vine-hairs.
Hayim himself would feel the influence of the spire in his own way. Like all transformations imposed upon a deity the first changes were always physical. He would find his little flower body growing larger than it should, becoming more complex and physically potent like the trees and the grass around him. What else would change he would soon find out along with the fire breathing Kai lest they fled the reach of the helical lights's aura.
