"Philip! Messengers from the sky tribe have arrived."

The sky tribe? Haven't they gone on their journey years ago...? I wonder what brings them here. I left the house following the person who told me about this. A few moments later I see that it really was a single winged man. He seems to be one of the tribesmen since he recognized me, well, it doesn't matter if I forgot about him. Approaching me then stopping at a distance, he said...

"Hello chief Philip."

"There is no need for the chief part, now what is the reason you have come back?"

If they are trying to return to the forest... there is nothing for them to take. We already lost the land we were entrusted with by them from those greedy large tribes. The winged man answered my question while reaching into his space pouch.

"We have found a large nature spot."

"Is this true?!"

I involuntarily asked him surprised. Calming down, my face returned back to normal from the shock. I shouldn't get ahead of myself, there is no proof it even exists. The winged man smiled then pulled his hand of his space pouch and what was there was... the sky and glass fruit?! I knew my mouth opened again, but it couldn't be helped when seeing such luxurious and large sky and glass fruits... These take almost seven years to grow, no for the sizes he brought out it might even be 10 years! I've only been able to see a small number of them before... While I was thinking about that, the winged man spoke again.

"If this isn't proof enough..."

He put his hand back into his space pouch... don't tell me... It's true! This winged man took out over 20 more of each fruit. There is nowhere else to grow this much sky and glass fruits other than a nature spot! All the other trees that grow these fruits are already claimed by dangerous beasts and large tribes. We must leave to that land at once before someone else takes it! I question the winged man about it.

"Where is the nature spot?"

"It's in the wasteland. It will take around two weeks using your crystal carriages to reach it."

The winged man replied as so but... the wasteland? Nothing could ever be grown on that land... it seems the winged man knew of my suspicions and added...

"I guarantee that is in the wasteland, I swear in the name of the world tree."

This man... he even swore it on that name... the alliance knows the people in the sky tribe, especially the old ones like this messenger are devoted to this world tree. This was the reason why they went on their adventure in the first place... to find the largest tree they could and live upon it. All I know is that in their tradition, it's the greatest honor to. As long as they still continue this tradition, it means that he isn't lying! There could be a chance they stopped but... it’s already difficult keeping our land safe. The large tribes are growing larger while we are in losing people... I need to resolve myself for my people so...

"Have you informed the alliance?"

"I already went to the Blood tribe and they agreed, all that's left is your tribe and the hopping tribe. They are gathering at the start of the wasteland."

"Very well, we'll be there soon."

...

...

In an hour, I got my people to pack everything they had in their space pouches and readied the carriages. I looked once more at the village we worked to create... burn. When we leave, those larger clans won't miss their chance to take our land away. We are all betting on this nature spot... there is no returning to the Great Spirit Forest. Even if we were to stay... those large tribes were probably going to attack us eventually when our numbers lowered. Shaking my head, I gave the signal and we set off to the wasteland.

Arriving there shortly, I saw all the people from the other tribes gathered with their carriages ready. It seems we were the last to arrive as they all sent their gazes to us once they heard the carriage wheels. I met up with the chiefs of the other tribes and talked about this journey. Apparently, they also burned their villages since there was no point in return. While we were talking, three figures flew up into the sky. We're leaving now then...

...

...

...

I was in the carriage next to my spouse who was looking in front of us. I placed my arms around her as I also saw what was ahead of us... A giant hill illuminated by the night’s glow that had grass, plants, and trees! Relief swept over my body once I saw this. Cheers could be heard all around; we can finally leave it all behind... No more fighting, no more bad land, no more deaths, no more starving... We quickly approached the edge of the hill. There was a strange change from the wasteland to this land full of life, but this may be the result of a nature spot forming here. The carriages stopped on top the grass after running over colorful plants and crushing strangely smooth cubes, but there were no openings to avoid it. There were plenty of smooth cubes scattered around, but it may be due to the nature spot...

Everyone who wasn't tired from powering the carriages quickly went outside. I left my spouse so I could discuss the plans with the other chiefs. All five of us gathered together setting up a table and chairs to sit on. As were sat down, three winged men including the one who gave me the message walked to us and one said...

"There is one thing you must know first..."

"What is it?"

Saying this while sharpening my gaze, the winged man who spoke continued.

"Well... the elves tribe are already living here... they have been monopolizing this land kicking us out into the edges of the hill."

Elves... those elves? In no way would I forget about them ever since that day... when they lost their magic from the forest spirit... they had been sent into exile by the large tribes as a bad omen. We used to be on good relations with them but on the day they were being exiled, none of us helped them. It wasn't that our relations were bad, it was actually good but we couldn't risk endangering our own tribes for them... Anyways, he said something about monopolizing so I asked him about it.

Somehow, the elves changed from their past selves. They used to share and help us smaller tribes, but now they are taking the nature spot for themselves. I really can't blame them... The winged men say they need help kicking out the elves, I nodded to that but when they left to tell their tribe, I spoke to the chiefs.

"Are we going to help them?"

"They had brought us to this land so..."

Courtney seemed uncomfortable about this topic. I also felt a sense of unease about this... kicking them off a land once again... There was a silence that lasted for a short while when 12 winged men came back. One of them... Brian frantically spoke.

"Help! The elves kidnapped our people!"

What...? I take a glance at the others and saw they were also thinking about those words. Why would the elves do this...? Thinking about it for a while, I realized that the kidnapped winged men could be in danger so I said...

"Bring us there."

The other chiefs had no problem with my decision so we followed the bird men up the hill running. Once we got up the hill, there were a few houses surrounded by a clear sphere of light. Suddenly a flash of light blinded us; I quickly covered it with my arms and turned my head to the ground. The ground was bright at first, but it changed to a soft shine after a while so I waited a few moments before opening a gap between my arms and saw... a fairy. She had purple hair, purple eyes, purple wings, under the light that made her glow, I could see purple cloth. I hear Brian shout out...

"That fairy is the one who kidnapped my people!"

That fairy...? While I was thinking about what was strange about those words, the fairy spoke...

"There seem to be some misunderstandings."

... Yes... Hadn't Brian said the elves were the ones who kidnapped his people? I need to question him if he made a mistake...

"Brian, didn't you say it was the elves that kidnapped your people?"

I watched him, his face immediately tensed up at my words... this is suspicious... there was no reason to have this kind of reaction, but he quickly spoke again.

"The fairy orders the elves around! She made them use magic and kidnap our people!"

This man... the elves using magic? In no way should it be possible anymore so... he was trying to use us?! I let out a sigh involuntarily from almost being used. After a moment of nothing, Courtney said this to explain it to Brian.

"You have been traveling for a long time... Let me tell you this, the elves can't use magic anymore. Now tell us the truth!"

Brian froze up when he heard that... this proves he was lying to us... how dare he! I gave stare at Brian when...

"I can tell you the story from my master."

I've forgotten about the fairy. Before I could think about what she meant, Riley laughed.

"Have you even tried saving your people yourself? Were you really scared by this weak fairy's light?"

That is true... how could he have lost his people against a fairy and a bunch magic cripples? I heard a few giggles as Riley went towards the light surrounding the houses then sent a punch towards it... Klang! What...? His punch was blocked?! A fairy shouldn't have that much magic, but...

"Are you going to listen to master now?"

She said something about a master... Wait, don't tell me...

"... Who is your master?"

With a wicked smile, the fairy pointed towards a... tree.

"My master is the divine tree."

That is... a magic tree?! Has the fairy made a pact with it?! This isn't good! I could feel cold sweat on my back. I can't make enemies with a pact maker! I immediately kneel down and say...

"We are sorry if we offended you pact maker."

Luckily, everyone else kneeled too. There I see the winged men standing still like idiots!

"Hurry up and apologize! This is a pact maker with such a large magic tree!"

On my words, they finally knelt down and said.

""We'~e ~orry p~~t ma~er~!""

Damn it! They can't even properly apologize! Is this where I meet my end...? Pact makers are known to have bad tempers. If she is one of them, she won’t hesitate to take our lives.

"Master will forgive you all but... those 12 bird men must leave."

Yes... I... I can live. The fairy called them bird men but... I shouldn't correct her. She then said...

"Everyone can live on master's land, but violence is not permitted. As long as you live peacefully, you will get to live on master's land."

We can live here? I look around and saw the plenty of trees, most importantly the fruit trees. There were many of them that it could feed all of us easily... I see Brian opening his mouth to say something... is he trying to stay here? No way! This bastard almost got all of us killed! In the end, Brian left without saying anything. The fairy then asked us chiefs for our names so we told her one by one normally. Afterwards, she gave us orders to set up a temporary camp for now then choose our final spots tomorrow. Once it was said, we set up tents, I don't know if anything else happened afterward since right now I'm lying in my tent with my spouse and going to......
