[Ceniel]

The farther up Connor got the more the tree swayed. When he was almost there a particularly strong gust almost knocked him off. The tree swayed slightly and after a few more minutes he got to the branch right before the limb. The limb itself was very strong but after a few moments the entire thing snapped off. Right before he fell another strong gust came, this one however instead of almost throwing him off actually pushed him back onto the branch, stopping him from falling. The tree branch was thin enough for Connor to wrap his hand around it but strong enough to stop it from snapping on the first strike. When Connor got to the ground a slight rustle of an animal rushed by him. A second later he saw it was a squirrel that was startled by him.
