We explored the Spirit Tree Forest, mostly to show Elfriedden and Alberta the mystical place, which was already a place of tourism for many nobles and commoners within the Kingdom. The two were amazed about the beautiful forest, so filled with spirit energy and mana it could even glow at night.
"S-So stunning... Everything is s-sparkling…" Alberta said, amazed, her big eyes shone brightly.
"This forest…" Elfriedden said, suddenly giving a rather nostalgic look, and smiling. "It feels like home… Like the forest of my country, where I used to run away from my problems. Or of people I did not want to interact with."
"Hmm, well, the lesser spirit trees had popped up only in the last two years." I said. "Right, Erika?"
"Yeah! I helped them grow up, they're all like my babies." Erika smiled. "They could one day become dryads or other spirits of the forest."
"Y-You did such a thing?" Elfriedden was surprised. "Right… I often forget you are half-dryad."
