[Inside Forest Dungeon]

With the branch from the Tree of Life on our hand, Farhah begin to channel her wood mana into the branch. It's suppose to be revitalise, with green leaves suppose to sprout but

"This is hard... This will take a while..." [Farhah]

"Take your time. This is a branch from Tree of Life after all. Normal wood and plant magic won't do much" [Calypso]

"I see. Make sense considering how sacred the Tree of Life is" [Khamishah]

Farhah keep channeling her mana, but alas, there's no doubt, there's no progress. Second pass, as it becomes minute, and before long, it becomes hour, and Farhah begin to chug down bottle of mana potion to replenish her mana before

"It's tiring... I'm sorry, but I wanted to take a rest for a bit" [Farhah]

"Considering this is the only way to guide us to the Tree of Life, we should probably just rest now" [Rean]

"Right. Let us take a rest here" [Elise]

"I'll start cooking something. Anything you want?" [Zerolith]

"Can you please make something refreshing..." [Farhah]

"Something refreshing... A fresh fish sandwiches should do the trick" [Zerolith]

"That sound nice" [Farhah]

"Couple of fresh fish sandwiches coming right up" [Zerolith]

"I'll help" [Charlotte]

And thus, we begin to prepare for the night. There's nothing much to do, as we can all just sleep inside the camper van golem. We are all well accustomed to it by now. It's simply luxurious as compared to sleeping inside a tent out there in the middle of a forest surrounded by nothing but bugs, snakes, mosquitoes that will generously offered you with blood borne disease should it suck your blood. There's no way I wanted to take such "generous" offer

As for The Holy Beast of Earth, Shielding Ant Aries, she simply burrow herself with the ground underneath her, before we offer her some of our sandwiches, and that is when I remember something that I don't want to remember...

"Wait! Don't eat first!" [Charlotte]

"?" [Ant Aries]

~Turn around~ "Ok, you can eat now" [Charlotte]

She may looks like a five year old version of Mother Aries, or Kara and Mara, but now I remember how horrifying it was when I saw her eating the corpse of the old Holy Beast of Earth, Tyrant Ant Drant. Seeing as to how I quickly turn, the other two who were equally traumatize as I am (Elise and Kara), does the same, while the other simply let out a small chuckles, except Farhah as she let out a sigh, most likely out of frustration of not able to revitalise the branch from Tree of Life

According to Calypso, Farhah should revitalise the branch before it will guide us to the Tree of Life. According to Calypso, any powerful elf can actually do that, as it's only part of the Tree of Life, and as such, Mr Filvisar, an old elf who was one of the surviving ten heroes a hundred years ago, can do the same. Seeing as to how Farhah fail to do what Mr Filvisar can do, I'm sure she's frustrated at her own weakness

And night passes, and when the first morning dew drop, Farhah quickly wakes up and start channeling her mana into the branch once more. She keeps on going until the sun hit its peak before

"IT'S WORKING!" [Farhah]

"Where? Where?" [Mara]

"Here! Take a look at it!" [Farhah]

"Some green leaves do sprout" [Karon]

"And the branch, it looks fresher as compared to it dry appearance before" [Savel]

"So, what did you do?" [Rean]

"Well... Apart from my racial mana, plant magic, I also imbued my other two proficient magic, water and earth, and boom!" [Farhah]

"Oh yeah... I forgot that you're actually proficient with water and earth" [Singa]

""True. Forgotten as well"" [Lara, Nara]

"Considering how she always use her wood magic, it's no surprise" [Elise]

"So, what you want to say is, you simply give the branch the necessary things for it to grow?" [Anjin]

"Right O!" [Farhah]

"I see. Wood magic as general to revitalise it, earth magic to give nutrition, and water for... water" [Kucin]

"Did you any help with watering the branch?" [Charlotte]

"Honestly yes. My mana began to dry up" [Farhah]

"Savel!" [Charlotte]

"Leave it to us!" [Savel]

"Then we will channel our earth mana as well" [Karon]

"Much appreciated!" [Farhah]

"Alright, let's start" [Kara]

"Just tell us what to do. We are all counting on you Farhah" [Mara]

"I will" [Farhah]

Savel and I start by channeling our water mana into Farhah, while Kara, Mara and Karon start channeling their earth mana. Farhah in respond, channel her as well as our mana into the branch vein, and slowly but surely, it started to take a better shape. Not only that, Farhah ask for some wind magic to be blown as according to her, stress from constant wind is needed for tree to grow properly. Since our hand are full, Rean, Lara, Nara and Singa keep using their wind magic gently from all directions so that the branch will grow properly. I even add my own tune and song, since I remember Brother Ash, Mr Filvisar and Farhah mentioned before that plant actually responded to our voice, and it will grow better shall we sing something to it. Since there is no one that stopped me from doing so (if you exclude Kucin who keeps pinching my cheeks that is), I continue to hum and sing something until

"It's lush green enough! Give it to me!" [Calypso]

"Right! Please help us" [Farhah]

"Well, here I go" [Calypso]

As Calypso start to use her magic to make the branch float, she begin to channel her mana into a drawn magic circle, and start chanting a long spell, before

"A door! A door suddenly appear!" [Charlotte]

"And the branch... I see, the branch will act as a medium to summon the door, as well as the key to the door" [Khamishah]

Mrs Saga said that as all of us see the branch unlocking the door, and what awaits us behind the door is

"Congratulations on your first step, Avery, heroes and their companions" [Fairy Queen, Titania]
