As Akun observed the princess conjure a massive root to transport both her and Oliver, he couldn't help but notice the amusing struggles they faced during their unconventional journey.
Hovering discreetly behind them, he pondered, "All that I need is a moment when Oliver finally separates himself from the princess. Then, I'll just pull him back, and I can merge the timelines."
Akun watched as, finally reaching the Dryad tribe, Rinalef gently lowered the colossal root until it touched the forest floor. With a delicate grace, she and Oliver stepped off the massive platform, their feet meeting the soft ground.
As they dismounted, Rinalef turned to witness the root retracting into the earth, like a hidden secret of the forest, leaving no trace behind. It vanished as mysteriously as it had appeared.
