She's an elf with the same long blonde hair as me, and her eyes are green. She's tall, not as tall as Auntie Amleth, Master Merlin or Sister Khamisah, but still tall. Her whitish clothes are unique. Even though my knowledge of elven religion is almost non-existent, I can tell that her clothes are those of their religious outfit. She doesn't wear shoes, and when I ask her why, she says she just hates shoes. She wanted to feel the earth herself.
"What if you step on a poop" [Diana].
"Only when I was a child, not anymore" [Farhah].
Not the answer I was expecting, but still a funny one. I laugh more than I should at her answer.
"Come. Any guest of the World Tree is also my guest. Besides, you know Little Elegast, and considering your age, you're like my grandchildren, maybe even great-grandchildren" [Farhah].
"Does that mean you are my great-grandmother?" [Diana]
"Maybe even ancestral!" [Farhah]
I'm glad she's nice! A little strange, but still nice! Just being by her side gave me the same feeling I always get when I am around Saintess Rumia...
"World Tree's guest?" [Diana]
"Well, you're trying to grow another World Tree, am I right?" [Farhah]
"Maybe..." [Diana]
"It's okay. No need to be afraid. The World Tree knows about it" [Farhah]
"Who else knows?" [Diana]
"So far only me and The World Tree, that is why it is inviting you" [Farhah].
"The World Tree speaks and says this?" [Diana]
"Not exactly. I'll tell you when you're in front of it" [Farhah]
Since it's evening, we quickly leave for the elven city, but not before catching the bad guy who tried to kidnap me.
"Can you please give me that vine?" [Farhah]
"Anything for you, World Tree Priestess!"
"The forest really respect you as a World Tree priestess " [Diana]
"World Tree Priestess!"
"Imagine if we sold her as a slave!"
"Mr. Killed Wasp, please sting his mouth" [Diana]
"Yes!"
"Hahaha, you think you're an elf child... wait... stop! Stop! It hurts! It really hurts!"
"Impressive. I'm sure those guys who pride themselves on their status will have a mental breakdown once they see you in action" [Farhah].
"This is also the first time I see someone else communicating freely with the forest! It feels refreshing... Actually, the second time..." [Diana]
"Who's the first then?" [Farhah]
With an elephant carrying the bad guys and the two of us on the back of a brown bear, I tell her what happened this morning. I'm sure it's a deliberate trap for me, and unlucky for me, I actually fell for it.
"Sigh... Alagast..." [Farhah]
"So that's his name?" [Diana]
"She's my youngest son. I have three children, my first daughter Farhana, my eldest son Elegast and finally Alagast... They all don't get along very well with each other... where did I go wrong... Maybe it's because of my weirdness... Maybe because I can't fully understand an emotion... Maybe because of their father's influence... No... He divorced me and doesn't have anything to do with them anymore..." [Farhah]
"Miss Farhah... Don't be sad! I AM HERE! Master Merlin and Dana always hug me to feel refreshed! You can do the same!" [Diana]
"I will do just that... ..... You're squishy" [Farhah]
"That tickles!" [Diana]
Mr. Elegast himself doesn't really talk about his family. However, he adores his mother. Whenever he talks about his mother, I can tell he's proud of her. But whenever someone asks about his siblings, he just groans. As Miss Farhah says, they don't get along very well. I wonder why. Does it have something to do with the fact that Mr. Elegast is a fallen noble of the elven land?
Since the way to the elven city is far away, Miss Farhah asks the forest to sing. Beginning with
"Bird Tweet" [Farhah].
"Right!"
"Tree, let the wind rustle your leaves" [Farhah].
"As you command"
"Bees. Fly. Fly around" [Farhah]
"Fly around. Fly around"
"Tigers. Roar as loud as you want" [Farhah].
"Roar!"
"Amazing! Amazing! You must teach me!" [Diana]
"I'm sure you can do the same. After all, you were blessed by the fairies themselves" [Farhah].
"But I never thought of this! I can definitely use this for the upcoming opera house performance!" [Diana]
"Opera House? You mean the one with the famous Vita?" [Farhah]
"Exactly!" [Diana]
I can already imagine that The Manager, Miss Vita, Neloufa and all the workers of the Opera House will be excited about it and will try to incorporate it into their performance. It will certainly be a brilliant performance if I can incorporate this song, made entirely by the forest, in harmony with Miss Farhah singing her best as she sings an elven song. I'm not quite sure what it means, but it's really soothing to hear. Even the bad guy couldn't help but cry out of sheer amazement.
As the forest and Miss Vita sang to their hearts' content, I couldn't help but join in. It turns into a musical festival. A short-lived one, I suppose, because some elves are trying to tell us something. I guess they are some kind of elven guards or knights, but Miss Farhah just didn't care. No... she doesn't even notice them. It's like she's in her own world. Since she doesn't really talk to them, I do the same and continue to admire her.
