Chapter 42: The forest of Wisdom (Part 3)

The visitors are running away from their pursuers, but as they run away, they suddenly entered the forest of wisdom... As the visitors travel through the forest, they noticed a strange aura going through the forest... They feel as if a strong magical force was nearby...

Elysia: Strong magical power... Really close by!
Namiele: Yes.. I could sense it as well...
Eriol: Same here...
Larg: Me too! Puu!
Lucid: Hmm... Could it be that the large tree is doing all this?
Elysia: Possible.. But we cant be too sure...
Kirnale: Hmmm... I'll call on a hawk and take a look...

Soon, Kirnale summoned his trusted hawk and used it to scout the area near the tree... Soon, it spotted a large shining orb near the tree... It returned and nodded it's head, signifying there is a person or an object near the area...

Kirnale: My hawk saw something..
Lilith: Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!
Lucid: Ok then.. but Let's stay cautious!

Meanwhile, as the visitors approach the tree of wisdom... The dark commander meets up with Medusa to discuss the situation about the escaped visitors...

Medusa: What do you mean escaped?!
Dark CommandeR: Yeah.. Apparently, their other mage threw a meteorite at us and created a large dust cloud... Thus they escaped...
Medusa: You fools! You should've just attacked with your ranged weapons!
Dark Commander: Forgive us, milady! We will not fail the Dark Goddess again!
Medusa: Make sure that you do, otherwise, you will all suffer!

Then, medusa teleports back to Hebarn, as the Dark commander goes to his forces and starts giving out commands....

Dark commander: Listen up, All of you! We must not fail this time! The dark goddess ordered us to find and destroy those visitors before they get to the great weapon! We must increase our effeorts to stop them at all costs! Otherwise, we shall all be doomed! Understand that?
All: Sir! yes sir!
Dark commandeR: Good. Now go, go go!!!

And with that, the troops mobilized... In the forest however, the visitors are near the tree and then they they saw the tree of wisdom alive... and in front of it, a shining orb of light...

Lucid: What is it?
Sugar: that must be the God Junon...
Maru: Wow.. shining...
Moro: Yeah.. really bright...
Sugar: Look, the light is starting to get dimmer!

Soon, the light faded and the person was revealed... It was none other than Junon himself...

Junon: dont worry, my children.. we will have a lot to talk about.. But we must rest for a while... Let's feast...

Soon, a banquet suddenly appeared and the visitors started feasting... For later, much is yet to be revealed....
