My first troll!

There stood 'Satvik the Great', with a sword in a sheath and a Great Spartan Helmet. In front of him was the darkest, densest jungle he had ever laid eyes on. He had been challenged by the Wise Adarsh Kumar to cross the jungle. He had said,"In the end,you will encounter the oldest tree of the jungle, on the branches of whose would be hundreds of thousands of crows. You will never get past that tree." And that is exactly what happened. Now,the question that you face is, "What happened to him? Why did he not make it past that tree?"
