[Location: Unknown Realm, Imitated Eternal Garden]

"And now for the gift here, take this and make sure to use it as a last resort" Eve said as she then created a small block of cube infused with so much essence that when it fell in their hands, they felt such a huge amount of essence in the box that it made their already infinite amount of essence look like a spark of fire in front of a sun.
"Last resort? Are we on some sort of mission?" Nepheria said as she tried to feel the essence of the box within, as she could feel that this amount of essence would have been equal to googolplex times more than the current total of Essence users that existed.
"Not mission, but you'll enter a war" Eve said as if it's the most natural, after all, they would be with the army of essence users, eldritch entities, and consciousness, who will also join this fight.
"A war!" Crown said as she had just finished war a few days ago and was again put in a war.
"Hey Supreme Commander, is it those Eternal Flowers again?" Seraphina said as she had already guessed it after all the minimum that Eve would actually interfere with the existence if Eternal Flower arrived, and she's going to protect something important because the Eternal Flower is going at that 'something important' location.
"Yes, it's the Eternal Flower, but not any normal Eternal Flower; three adult Eternal Flowers are what you guys are going to fight" Eve said, explaining that there are three Eternal Flowers coming and that she needed them to fight those three.
"But Eve, can't you just push back those Eternal Flower?" Nepheria said as she believed Eve could push those Eternal Flower back to their garden.
"Yes, I could, but I'm not allowed to fight; if I do, bad things will happen" Eve said as she explained why she couldn't do it.
"Just why this time? In just a day and a half, I could have cured my brother, but why now?" Nepheria said as she frowned deeply at the thought of fighting Eternal Flowers, as fighting them would take years to even push them back even a little.
"It's not me who picked the time for something like this, as it was predestined to be this way in the first place" Eve said, as she also didn't want this to happen, but it was fixed that this was supposed to happen.
"Do we really need to go to the war?" Nepheria said, as she really doesn't want to go to war as she has family, especially her brother, who is still in a coma.
"If you don't want your brother and sister to also get erased from existence, then you better enter the war" Eve said as if threatening Nepheria to enter it if not her family Vernon and Natahlia would die.
"What do you mean by that? What do you mean that my brother and sister are going to die? Are you threatening me!?" Nepheria shouted as she pushed Eve to the tree, clenching her neck tightly as if trying to kill Eve by strangling her.
"Nepheria stop!" Crown said as she tried to stop Nepheria, but was then halted by Nepheria's shout.
"Don't stop me, Crown, I'll kill this bitch!" Nepheria shouted as her hand gripped Eve's neck even more tightly. She seemed to be crushing it but couldn't go any deeper as Eve's natural body seemed to be so dense that Nepheria's hand could not get any deeper into her throat.
"Just follow what Crown Vortigern said if you don't want her dead again, Nepheria Vortigern" Seraphina said as she pointed her sword made out of essence at Crown's neck, with it getting closer as it touched Crown's neck as her neck started to bleed a little. As Crown gritted her teeth, although she knew what Seraphina was doing was to at least make Nepheria calm down, it was too sudden.
"Seraphina, you-" Nepheria was about to say, but she seemed to suddenly be unable to speak as she felt danger everywhere. Every inch of her body trembled in fear for what she felt, which was so horrifying that it paled in comparison to the horror of Eternal Flowers that she had felt a long time ago.
As she then lets go of Eve with a trembling hand, she dares not look at Eve's face, for her fear overwhelms her entire existence. Using her every last bit of bravery and will, she looked at Eve's face. It's still the same emotionless face, but it seemed different at the same time. She saw Eve's yellow eye turn white, similar to the white flowers that cover everything in the realm they are in. In an instant, she saw Eve's hand coming closer, as if it were supposed to be a slap, as Nepheria closed her eyes, awaiting for the slap to hit her.
As the sound of slap resounded, Seraphina and Crown, who were also feeling the same fear that Nepheria just felt, were dumbfounded by what they saw.
Nepheria had heard the loud slap, but the pain did not come. As she opened her eyes, she understood Eve had slapped herself, and her white eye returned to yellow.
"Wha-" Nepheria said as she dropped to her knees as Crown suddenly appeared beside her, holding her by her arm.
"Oh, it's nothing. I just almost got turned into a vessel, as she seemed to have seen flaws in my defenses" Eve said as if whatever just happened was nothing.
"What, but I thought she had no interest in having someone as a vessel" Crown said, speaking her confusion about the subject of vessels.
"Yes, you are correct, but that rule only applies to entities that could not truly affect the entirety of existence, such as you, so having me an existence that could control the true time and true space in a span of entire existence as a vessel is actually very helpful for her" Eve said, explaining why she is actually very important.
"Then what do you mean by Vernon and Nathalia dying?" Nepheria said that from the fear she felt, she seemed to have calmed down now.
"Your brother and sister are casualties on the side when the 3 Eternal Flowers try to go find the seed that contains the Eternal Maiden" Eve said, explaining why she had actually said that if Nepheria does not enter the war, they might not be able to push back the Eternal Flowers and for them to arrive at Focalor.
"Why do the Eternal Flowers want the seed anyway?" Nepheria asked, as she wanted to know why they needed the seed anyway.
"So, she could return to her birth home" Eve said as she explained that the Eternal Flower just wanted the seed containing the Eternal Maiden to return home.
"Then why not just let it go and return her to her home?" Seraphina said, as it seemed to be the most logical way to do it.
"It's complicated, you see, the Eternal Maiden had always wanted to traverse the existence by itself, so without the Eternal Maiden to tend and take care of the Eternal Garden, is it for them to get infected by the song of that 'I' would always sing out despite being asleep? As for why we are trying to stop them, it is so 'I' would not awaken, because if 'I' were to awaken, something catastrophic would happen" Eve said.
"'I'? Who's that?" Nepheria asked.
"The main body or the origin of all existence," Eve said as to what 'I' truly is.
