I decided to remain in the Verdant Realm for a bit, until I could use all the items I wanted. As some of them might end up giving me a boost in power that would make me easily detected by Merlinus, I wanted to take care of things right here and right now.
"A room for yourself?" Lady Verdant was surprised when I asked for this. "Oh, I see. You want to use the items you've accumulated to gain as much power as possible. And you need some space alone, very well. Come with me Planta."
She extended her hand towards me.
"Ah, sure…"
I touched her hand, it was soft and delicate, and warm.
"Now…"
FLASH!
We teleported away, appearing on a wide room within the interior of the tree, which was like a palace already.
There were wooden tables, seats, fruit, and a nice terrace with a view towards the rest of the forest outside, and the village below.
