The village chief, Samon, and his son, Simon, were gathered at the village entrance along with a few other villagers. And in front of them was a group of five people all clad in black clothing. “Chief, trust me. You do not want to try to stop us.” Azazel said. “You are threatening my people and you just told us that you are to take the crystal. Of course I won’t trust the likes of you!” The chief strictly said. “Chief, even if you take us on with your entire village, it’ll only be your loss.” The chief did not say anything back. Even though he could not sense any aura, he could very much tell that these people were not lying. “Father!” Sasha shouted as she came closer to the gathering. Samon looked at his daughter with worry. “Sasha, what are you doing here? It’s dangerous!”

“It’s easier to tell when the person following us is someone familiar. Crymillia.” Crymillia walked out into the light and faced Azazel. “Lucifer, we’ve only dated for like, a few months.” “Your dad was much sharper than I thought.” “We’re beings of eternal life.” Crymillia started getting closer to Azazel. “While he’s gone, don’t you think we could… Have some fun? Like we used to.” She said with a seductive voice. Azazel pushed her away. “I don’t have time for that. Besides, you don’t even mean that.” Crymillia chuckled. “I would if you accepted it. Anyway, what brings you here?” “The same reason as you. I assume you were told of this by an old woman.” Azazel said with a questioning tone. &ldquo

A few minutes before the Hunters arrived… Pix flew in through the slightly opened door. She frantically looked around the house with what little vision she had. She saw another open door not far and flew straight for it. There, she saw a red haired man sleeping on the side of the bed while another man with a moustache was sleeping on it. “What the heck happened here?” She asked herself while she glanced between the men. Then she shook her head before attempting to wake them up. “Hey, hey! Wake up! Wake up!” She shook Shim Boon’s shoulder. Then she tried slapping repeatedly on his face but he still did not wake up. “Argh! Why won’t you just get up already!” She slapped harder and harder, then a blade was suddenly put beside her. “What are you doing here?” Bran asked. &ldquo

A few minutes ago within the chamber where the world tree crystal resides, Crymillia and Azazel were clashing repeatedly. Matthew did not make a move and kept watching. He was so amazed at the fight that he completely forgot what he came here for in the first place. He looked at the ball of roots where the crystal was. He glanced up at the fighters for a second before he slowly moved towards the roots. Just like before, the roots opened up but only enough for a fist to fit through. Matthew assumed that the tree wanted him to take it. He made sure Crymillia and Azazel were not looking his way before reaching his hand into the roots to grab the crystal and run away. To his surprise, he got sucked into the void of the tree’s consciousness again. He did not expect this to happen and panickedly looked around. “You mustn't worry about my well being.” Yggdrasil’s voice came from all

Bran was walking towards where Matthew was sitting. By the time he got close, Matthew was already standing up but he was still talking to the fairy queen. Bran kept walking until he was only a few meters away to call out to Matthew. “Hey, Matthew!” Matthew immediately turned his attention to Bran. “Oh, hey.” “Sorry for interrupting.” “No, it’s fine. We were just about done. What is it?” “The chief just asked if you’d join for breakfast.” Bran said. “Oh, sure. Be there in a sec.” Matthew replied then he continued talking to Belle. Bran thought about eavesdropping but he only heard what Matthew said. So he just decided to wait until Matthew was done. Not too long after, Matthew was done talking and Belle was escorted by two fairies away.
