This is an easy question to them, it's the Ancient Oak.
The Ancient Oak is the hotspot for magic connected to Time, and so has always drawn Robinlight to it.
Robinlight is able to see past and future ghosts of themselves and loved ones. This allows them to look back on past events to see what really happened, as well as see what can be stopped in the future.
Robinlight, as a new apprentice, dashed over to the Ancient Oak before their mentor could stop them. Their eyes glowed brightly, and they found themselves suddenly surrounded by cats. Some they hadn't met yet, some who had died before they were born. Their mentor was very confused to see them waving their tail and excitedly trying to talk to what looked like nothing. Robinlight was upset when the other cats didn't respond, and found themselves sitting next to a larger cat, pouting. They slowly yet suddenly realised that the older cat was familiar - not only was it familiar, it was them! An adult version of them, with sleek fur and a lean build. Robinlight jumped in surprise, and ended up toppling down the tree root.
When their mentor rushed over to them to make sure they were okay, they immediately spun into their tale excitedly. Their mentor suddenly recognised why this was, and brought them back to camp to speak to the high mages. They were ecstatic to learn that they had magical powers.
Since then, it's been a place that Robinlight has gone to for training, but also just to quieten their mind. They find the sturdiness of the Ancient Oak soothing - when everything else seems fragile in the world, the Ancient Oak stands strong. Standing amongst its roots and branches allows them to truly feel the flow of time ebbing around them, and makes them feel closer and closer to discovering the full potential of their magic.
