Looking down at my feet, I saw the earth.

I was standing right on top of it.

No grass was growing on that very piece of bare earth.

When everywhere around my motionless feet, it was all green and dressed, by my feet, it was just dull brownish with red shades of earth, here and there.

Now though, that regular brown color was being changed to a dark shade of brown.

Why was that?

It became mud.

Looking up to the sky, I saw the clouds.

All assembling and stalling over the forest's sky. Many masses of them were melting on each other, as though waving war to each other.

All of which happened so quickly. It was an impressive sight to behold.

They all growled and shouted at each other, the clouds.

Weird.

Their feud hadn't even come to an end, and yet...

They began crying, already.

Oh, but some of them were still going about yelling too, huh.

Clouds continued growling, as some others continued crying.

They shouldn't be yelling at each other, the clouds, hmm…

Up there, in the sky, that whole scene was just taking place. Without being disturbed in any apparent way, no.

And oh, maybe they're more like crying unto us too, maybe. No, no, it's not even a matter of 'maybe,' I'm pretty sure they were.

Down here, now, there wasn't just the earth and grass, being moistened by the clouds' tears and yells.

Calming.

Calming was my companion.

And he was putting on a good word for me, as we speak, I'm pretty sure of that, too.

❮New instructions: Speak to the dryad and allow her to help yourself in your adventure.❯

And me?

Ahem.

I was too noisy, it seemed.

Big dryad sister had seen fit to let me go and play on my own since she didn't see a point in me engaging with her in a discussion.

And I just agreed to that, as surprising as it may have been, yes.

Not that I wanted to go play on my own, though.

This time about, I understand.

"You gotta help me with my adventure, dryad," I nodded to her, "You got to."

Among other things, these words are about what I'd tried to tell her. That's what the quest implicated, and so that's what I said.

But no can do, huh.

She was just seeing me as a dumb kid and thus didn't see any point in talking to me.

I didn't argue with her and agreed to that nonetheless.

'Cause, in the first place, I didn't quite know what to tell her, either.

Would she buy any of my crap?

I didn't know.

And so, what would be wise to do, I'm sure Old would agree with me, (I'm very sorry for doubting you, by the way, Old Sipping) would be just to let Calming do the talking for me.

He was super eager to do so, anyway, Calming.

It just went on like this:

After we'd finally met up with the dryad, I stepped in, Calming stepped out. His job was supposed to be done at that point.

It was me and my big dryad sister, then.

I talked, she talked, then I was labeled as a too noisy snotty elven brat. She didn't understand a word I was telling her.

I disagreed with her, she disagreed with me, and Calming was still far behind, not willing to disrupt us in any way.

That was a problem, now, 'cause at this point, I understood he should be the one talking for me, just as he'd done up till now.

And incidentally, she could only agree with me on that, the charming dryad.

Whatever her reasons were, we wouldn't be getting anywhere as we talked together.

I tried to talk to her about the help she should be giving me.

It was weird, she didn't wanna help me with the adventuring as the quest said. Not at all, let me tell you.

And if you want my opinion, she was actually even reluctant to do so.

Meh.

I also talked about the character's creation, about the game and whatever, but she didn't … 'find it funny,' to quote her exact words.

"And so what might be your companion's name?" she asked me, at some point.

I replied with his name.

And together, "Calming!"

"Mr. Calming!"

Our voices echoed at once.

Jolting down in place, Calming's face tensed up and rushed over to our side.

Not daring to be a tiny bit disrespectful, arriving at us and greeting us, "O Noble Spirits!" he performed a deep bow of his head.

I thus told him to speak with my big sister and stepped behind.

And just as we speak right now, the two of them are discussing things about me and our reasons to be here.

Calming informed her of my noble presence that was to be heeded, I was just a few steps behind his back.

And it started to rain on us.

Dealing with Old, it took a real big amount of time to get the quest moving.

Remember that quest which said: 'Accompany the old man up till he decides on helping the Player.'

Well, it took a long time to get his help.

And so, I decided it was too much.

I wanted to get it done as soon as possible.

Hopefully, Calming will know what words to put in, so that the quest moves on promptly.

And the noisy elven maiden just having been dealt with, the dryad would speak and speak.

I'd listen and adapt to their exchanged words, then act.

Sitting on the weird-looking stool her moving magical branches had just formed for her, she was speaking and talking with my companion.

And it was good that way.

As she was looking down on me, things were good that way. It was convenient for me not to get found out anyway.

Maybe.

Only maybe, yes.

But still, things are good that way.

There was me, behind Calming's back.

Calming in front of me, with his rigid and disciplined posture, getting ready to serve the dryad with any question she'd inquire about us.

What were we doing here, basically.

Big sis' dryad was just resting in front of him, resting on her stool made out of the many branches that were circling around her in the air.

And with her peaceful expression, she asked and asked.

What might have been our business here?

That was her main question, basically, and to that, well, I didn't know how to reply apparently…

But Calming,

We travelled across the whole forest in order to get me, another forest's mighty guardian that needed to get some matter dealt with in Foret.

Ugh.

Well, see, that's where Calming's usefulness lies.

Let him do the rest of the talking if he pleases.

Waiting for him as he'd previously passed out and going with him was the right call. He proved useful, as usual.

She hadn't heard about any of that, though, why was that?

Due to the recent wars and conflicts going down in this forest of peaceful history, it is only normal, Calming believed, that such news wasn't being conveyed properly.

Truly efficient.

That was convincing.

Dryad accepted that.

Who did let ourselves in?

They talked about the forest's heart.

Who was that let me and Calming into the forest's core, where the dryads lie at?

Having accompanying me both the true descendant's soul and body, due to our complicated circumstances, we could enter the forest's core.

Ohhh…

Was that how it worked?

Wasn't it just natural for us to be able to travel across the forest in its whole area?

I had no idea about that. But it seemed like it was the case.

Dryad argued about that, though.

Knowing the elves' side had lost the war, the eligibility to access the Dryads' council and partake in the Foret's administration was cut off.

Even with a descendant of the royal elven family, we weren't supposed to enter that area.

Oh-ho?

Atmosphere was becoming tense.

Still putting on her bright smile on her beautiful face, "Ara?"

No, no, no.

Bright smile even became brighter … though it wasn't all that reassuring at all.

A bright, yet unsettling smile.

"Ara ara?

"Huhuhu.

"Isn't there then not a contradictory fact within your report, Mr. Calming, huhuhu?"

Calmly giggling, her right hand covering her mouth, "Would you care, now, to give me further explanations regarding this matter, mhm?"

Heh.

And just as she thought she'd gotten us, Calming would surprise her,

"Absolutely, O Noble Forest Spirit," and started explaining.

Indeed, as he already explained, though big sis' dryad hadn't understood, another forest's dryad would be joining them.

Just like this, it was only natural for the two of us to get into the forest's heart without restrictions, he talked about a protective barrier being effective but not offensive here, in our case.

And that'd be it, I guess.

Now, their conversation would naturally be drifting towards me.

But I still waited.

They still were talking, after all.

Plus, replying to all these words, she said there still was a problem and contradiction in what he'd been saying…

"And so, according to you, who would then be the one having opened the path through the barrier?"

Hmm.

Tough question.

But Calming would be answering.

I'm fine.

Probably?
