Black Turtle ignored John, called Anna for help, and turned to leave.
With nothing else to do, John wandered over to the Tree of Life to observe its changes.
At this moment, the massive Tree of Life was sparsely dotted with pale yellow flowers, about a thousand in total.
According to Anna, each of these flowers would eventually grow into a elf.
When that time came, John would have a powerful new force under his command.
Buzz...
A gentle breeze stirred, and vibrant, multicolored lights flickered beneath the tree.
It was the Flower Fairy, Jean.
Surprisingly, the Tree of Life began absorbing this radiant energy, accelerating its growth.
The flowers adorning the treetop started blooming, releasing a delicate fragrance that complemented the multicolored lights.
John was astonished. The energy radiating from Jean was actually speeding up the Tree of Life's process of nurturing elves.
