Chapter 46: Battle in the Forest (Part 2)

When all hope is lost, the tree of wisdom suddenly shined, and Elysia, as well as Namiele and Eriol started shining as well, and started casting spells as if they were possessed... Soon in the midst of the chaos that folowed, the visitors are quite confused...

Lucid: Could someone tell me what's going on?
Junon: Apparently, the tree is controlling the trio, thus their "shining" and me thinks they willingly gave into the power of the tree, thus making their magic stronger...
Lilith: As if they really are possessed..
Kirnale: It seems the tree really sides with us...
Larg: Puu! Look, the tree's eyes... They're opening...

Soon, the eyes of the tree opened wide, and soom pillars of light started to shine down on the dark army... Destroying everything within it... Soon, the visitors as well as the god Junon, started to fight back...

Maru: Hey, now's our chance!
Moro: Yeah sis... We should take this opportunity!
Lilith: I agree... We should let this pass without some more action!
Kirnale: Same here!
Lucid: Me too!
Junon: Good, let's shpw them what we're made of...

Soon, the battle continued.. as meteors, firegons, elementals, arrows, lightning bolts and pillars of light dominated the scene... As soon as the dust was cleared, it was a terrific sight... Thousand of dark army soldiers are dead; each body lying lifeless on the ground filled with blood... Soon, the visitors caught the dark commander.

Junon: Heretic! You shall be punished!
Dark Commander: Not Quite! For sooner or later you shall all feel the wrath of-
Junon: Hebarn shall always fail! Die!

And with one strike of a lightning bolt, Junon Killed the Dark commander, thus effectively ending the battle, but as the visitors returned near the tree of wisdom, the noticed Elysia, Namiele and Eriol returned to their original form...

Namiele: err.. What happened?
Eriol: I feel as though I was possessed...
Elysia: Yeah.. Must be the tree of wisdom giving it's energy to us...
Junon: Yes.. It seems the tree wishes you to become better magicians than before...
Lilith: Yeah... and it seems you did well...
Larg: Yeah.. What you did was amazing!
Elysia: Well, yeah... But yggdrasil also gave us the wisdom of the planet as well... We now know the secret of this realm however-
Sugar: Come quick! The tree is getting weaker!
Junon: Say what?!

Soon, they noticed the tree is starting to wiggle a lot... they sensed that it is in deep pain...

Junon: What's wrong, yggdrasil?
Yggdrasil: I must've used too much power... I must recharge....
Lucid: But how?
Yggdrasil: I must sleep for a thousand years, after which I shall reawaken and aid you yet again...
Namiele: What about us?
Yggdrasil: Don't worry... You 3 have my wisdom, the wisdom of the planet. Go forth and share it to the nomads and the new visitors who will arrived soon...
Eriol: But-
Yggdrasil: Listen.. You are more important than I.. You must go and make haste... Time is not by your side... Farewell...

Then, Yggdrasil closed it's eyes, and started it's thousand year sleep. Junon then approached the visitors...

Junon: I must leave as well.. You already know where the sword of the ancients lie right?
Lucid: Yes... However,are you sure we can handle this by ourselves?
Junon: Yes.. I have faith in all of you. Do your part...
Sugar: What about me?
Junon: Don't worry little fairy... I will reward you once you return the paradise after you helped the visitors...
Sugar: Alright then...
Junon: alright, I must leave as well... See you later then...
Lilith: Farewell.
Maru and Moro: Byebye!
Kirnale: Cya...
Eriol: Farewell, milord.
Elysia: See ya around then...
Lucid: Alright then! Let's prepare ourselves! We've got a long journey ahead!
All: Right!

And so, the visitors prepared themselves and left the forest of wisdom, to retrieve the legendary sword of the ancients.
