"Over here, Eve wants to give us something" Nepheria said, hearing the people outside. Eve looked at the position where Elysium was supposed to be and suddenly disappeared, as she did not leave any sort of evidence that she was even here in the first place. She then looked at the three who had entered the house.
"Your all here" Eve said as she took a sip from the tea in her hands as Seraphina, who's behind the three, walked up in front as her eye's glowed in exicitement, but Crown noticed this as she understood what Seraphina's going to say, so she stopped Seraphina in her tracks and suddenly appeared in front of Seraphina as Crown opened her mouth and said.
"Hey Eve, Nepheria said you were going to give us a gift or something" Crown said as she instantly covered the mouth of Seraphina, who was about to say something, but she forgot the fact that Seraphina is an essence user like her, so Seraphina used her essence to project her thoughts to everyone in the room, as if she were speaking normally and not being blocked by Crown's hand at all.
"That's right, Supreme Commander, and it's very suspicious even for me, but if it's truly a gift, then I want a cool-looking stick with a length of 1.3 meters" Seraphina said through her minds as her thoughts resounded throughout the house.
"Yes, I will give you three a gift, but not a stick" Eve said while taking another sip of her tea.
"Aww" Seraphina said, as she couldn't get the stick that she wanted as a gift from Eve. She had always wanted a stick that was cool, like a stick with ancient languages written on it or a cane that had its edge perfectly polished.
"So where's the gift?" Nepheria said as she looked around. Eve, seeing that all of them wanted to have a gift like a little child, smiled a little as this sort of reminded her of the time with her wife, and their child still doesn't have the memory of her past cycles, the only time that all three could be treated as a family.
"No need to hurry, now come with me. I want to show you all something" Eve said as she put down the tea on the table. The tea then suddenly disappeared as Eve put it down on the table. She then stood up from her chair and clapped her hands as a portal suddenly appeared. Eve does not show them what's inside. Even if they tried using essence, they still couldn't see through the portal itself.
"This place is!" Seraphina said in surprise, unlike the other two, like Crown and Nepheria, who rarely fought an Eternal Flower and rarely felt the effects of the song, but for Seraphina, who has been fighting every Eternal Flower that goes outside of the Eternal Garden itself since the very birth of her existence, she actually had more visions about this place as she is always the person most affected by the song itself.
"Don't worry, it's an imitation of the Eternal Garden itself. If you are truly, I know that the song would always let you see this vision through the songs embedded in our minds, but there's a huge difference, as the real Eternal Garden is much more beautiful than what we would all even think" Eve said as she slowly walked in the endless white flowers in the garden. Although it's an imitation of the Eternal Garden, it's still beautiful in its own rights.
"This place is the Eternal Garden?" Crown said that although she is also affected by the song, the effects are not as strong as Seraphina's, as she had only seen the vision three times in her entire existence. Although it seemed familiar, the difference could be felt.
"Yes, and seeing that you seemed not to know it is already a good sign you are not so easy to be affected by my child" Eve said as she picked up one of the white flowers and smelled it.
"Then that tree is?" Crown said as she pointed her hands at the gigantic white tree. Its leaves are the same white flower that spreads everywhere. Although she believed she had seen this tree in one of her visions, it was all blurry.
"That's right, it's the imitation of the Eternal Tree, the tree that had blessed me and 99 others" Eve said as she explained that this was the imitation of the Eternal Tree who had blessed her and the 99 others like her. Looking at the tree, it reminds him of the time when the Eternal Garden did not go wild in the past, the time when she's still allowed to run around the garden with her wife.
"So why are we here?" Nepheria said as she looked around to see only endless white flowers around them.
"I want you three to remember this place. Engrave it in your mind, as it might be of help, as a deterrent for my child to not care about you, as she will view you as one of her vessels that way" Eve said as she looked at them.
Hearing what Eve just said surprised them a lot, as this is something they didn't even know about the song itself. How could the song of the Eternal Flower make you Eve's child vessel? This is very outrageous, as every existence has its own level of existence, and in Essence Users, Eldritch Entities, and Consciousness are actually equal except for those who are blessed by the tree.
"Eh? What vessels? How could we be her vessels? Is she blessed like you?" Nepheria said in surprise, as she could not believe that just hearing the songs could have such effects as becoming a vessel. In the first place, she didn't know the connection between the flower and Eve's child.
"No, she's not blessed. She is more than blessed. Since the very beginning, Nepheria, especially you, Seraphina, have been a perfect fit for a vessel" Eve said, explaining that her child is more than being blessed, as the blessing of the tree could be treated as useless for her, and also saying that Seraphina is a perfect vessel for her child.
"What? I never agreed on becoming a vessel for her" Seraphina said as her arm crossed in defiance of such thoughts.
"She does not need your approval, as you are too deep in the song, but she could not control you in a way or another, as it's useless, as vessels for her are of no use as she had her own body after all" Eve said, explaining that her child actually had no need for vessels.
