The amazing part about Calming Lake was that the mental energy you wasted here could be replenished by fighting off and absorbing the streams of consciousnesses around you. This was the secret to how the Crystal Dragons were one of the very rare cases of species that could replenish their own mental energy without sleep or rest.

It seemed their only option was to wait and trust Dyon… Hoping that he wouldn't lose his mind in this place.

The forest erupted into battle of chaos and madness.
