Felix and Alicia were shocked to hear this treeherder speak. Though Felix was able to notice that there was merit to what it said since he didn't feel the intent to kill from it.

So, a talking tree huh? A little surprising, but why not.- Felix

Please I truly mean you no harm. So can you please put out the fire?- treeherder

What is the meaning of this? How can a treeherder speak terran?- Alicia

Oh that, I was born near a farm and was able to pick up the language pretty easily.- treeherder

Interesting. By the way, your a little close to those flames you know.- Felix

Eh? AAAHHH HOT, HOT, HOT! PLEASE PUT THESE FLAMES OUT!- treeherder

After a few water spells, the flames were completely put out. Everyone had calmed down enough to hold a conversation.

Thanks for that. My name is Travan. And I've been guarding Maywood with my friends here for a long time. But recently, most of the treeherders have gone mad because of a strong, dark power that has spread across the forest. Otherwise, they wouldn't attack terrans without just cause. I do apologise on behalf of my friends so please don't destroy us all.- Travan

Do you honestly believe that is enough. Just look at this.- Alicia

Ehhh?- Travan

Because of your rash behavior, poor Sakura has overused her mana and has fallen into this state. Do really expect to be forgiven like this?- Alicia

( You do know this is mostly your fault right?)- Felix

I- I truly am sorry for this. Ah, maybe this will be of some use.- Travan

Travan went into the top of his head and plucked out a leaf. He then placed it in front of his Felix and Alicia so they could examine it. Felix could feel some strong medical properties when he saw the leaf. When Alicia saw it, she fell into a state of shock.

I-is this an elixir leaf?- Alicia

You have good eyes.- Travan

Definition please.- Felix

Elixir leaves are very powerful medicines. They were designed by clerics, sages, and the like to be used for ailments that no ordinary medicine could cure.- Alicia

Thanks for the lesson professor.- Felix

Just feed that to your friend and she'll be right as rain.- Travan

Very well. It can't get any worse.- Felix

Felix attempted to put the leaf in Sakura's mouth. But no matter how much he insisted, he couldn't get her to eat.

Dang it, this isn't going to work, she doesn't have any strength. Looks like I'm going to have to do that.- Felix

Felix took the leaf and chewed it up. Then he held Sakura up and gave her mouth-to-mouth. Unfortunately this rubbed Alicia the wrong way.

F-F-FELIX! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?- Alicia

Good looks like she swallowed the sap.- Felix

Swallowing the sap or not is not main issue here!- Alicia

Right after, Sakura's body began to glow. It lasted for several seconds and then faded. After that, she began to slowly open her eyes.

M-Mr Felix?- Sakura

Sakura, I'm glad you made it.- Felix

You saved me.- Felix

And you saved me. I guess we're even. Looks like you've completely recovered. Isn't that great Alicia?- Felix

....Yeah….sure.- Alicia

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

“ Okay, what's with that voice of depression?- Felix

I said I'm glad.- Alicia

Your words don't match your appearance.- Felix

After a little deliberation, there quarrel was put to rest. Sakura was brought up to speed of current events.

Travan correct? We haven't been properly introduced. My name is Felix, and this is Sakura. She was saved because of that leaf, and for that I thank you.- Felix

Yes, thank you very much.- Sakura

Hmph, I don't see why you all are thanking him. Don't forget it was because of him and his kind that were in that situation. This is the least he should do.- Alicia

C'mon Alicia, there's no point in taking out your aggression on someone else.- Felix

He's a monster remember, we don't know what he's planning.- Alicia

I can't argue with that. I do apologise for my friend's violence. But please believe me when I say they weren't always like that. The reason for their aggression came from the energy waves coming from a guy named Majin who came to this forest some time ago.- Travan

Majin?- Felix

That's right. He's a guy who appeared on the western cliffs. We don't know anything about him other than his name. He started doing experiments on the cliff which started emit some energy waves that began to affect the area around him. Those waves started to increase the aggression of my friends. It got to the point where they started to attack the travelers that were passing by. Those that came through here started to thin out and that's when you guys appeared.- Travan

(Majin, where have I heard that name?)- Alicia

I see, so this Majin is the caused all this. Have any tried to communicate with this guy?- Felix

He put up a barrier around the cliff so none of us could get close to it.- Travan

Hmm I see. Then I guess we're going to have to deal with this.- Felix

“WAAAHH”

If we can take care of this Majin and get him off that cliff, then the hostility in the forest will cease.- Felix

You're so kind Mr felix.- Sakura

Really? You'll really help us?- Travan

NOW JUST WAIT A SECOND HERE FELIX! THIS ISN'T OUR RESPONSIBILITY! WE'VE GOT OUR OWN MISSION TO DO, REMEMBER?- Alicia

Taking a side mission isn't going to deter us so calm down.- Felix

But what if this Majin is dangerous? Do you honestly think he's just going to listen to us.

Then it's a good we've got an all powerful magus to assist us.- Felix

(Are you saying that if it's dangerous, you're going to leave it all to me!)- Alicia

With that said, do you mind taking us to the cliff please.- Felix

Leave it to me.- Travan

SCREW ALL OF YOU! YOU WANNA ACT ALL NOBLE, GO RIGHT AHEAD! I'M NOT GETTING INVOLVED!- Alicia

In the end, Alicia tagged along to the cliff. They made it all the way to the edge were they stood before a massive waterfall.

Just look at this Mr Felix. Isn't it enormous?- Sakura

Yeah, not bad.- Felix

I'm not fighting you know.- Alicia

Stubborn to the bitter end.- Felix

Depart from here terrans. This is no place for you to stand. Leave at once.- unknown voice

Everyone was shocked from hearing the sudden voice, especially Felix since he didn't feel his presence.

Alright quit the scare tactic and show yourself. Your Majin right?- Felix

Instead of responding with words, the unknown party started chanting a spell.

Felix! Sakura! Get away from the water!- Alicia

Alicia immediately jumped in front of the two just as streams of water shot out of the waterfall. The water immediately pierced her body, leaving cuts and injuries. Felix protected Sakura from the shockwaves. When the attack subsided, Felix saw Alicia was in pretty bad shape.

Alicia, you idiot! You know perfectly well that you can't use your magic right now! Just what were you thinking? Don't act like it doesn't hurt!- Felix

No it really hurts. It hurts like hell.- Alicia

You actually put your life on the line for us. You really do care.- Felix

Before a comment could made, Felix felt another coming this time and acted accordingly.

Alicia, hang on!- Felix

Grabbing Alicia Felix lunged to the side as more streams of water shot out the waterfall.

Now look who cares.- Alicia

Just think of it as making us even. I hate to--.- Felix

Before he could finish, Alicia took this chance to steal a kiss. A huge wave of energy converged and slowly repaired her wounds.

ALL RIGHT! WITH THAT, I'M READY FOR ACTION! C'MON WATERFALL, DO YOUR WORST!

Right after she said that another attack came out, this time there were twice as many. Alicia responded this with her own spell.

“Freeze barrier”

A wall of wind immediately deflected the water shots away from the cliff. Felix could tell she had it under control so he decided to leave it to her.

Water shot huh? Definitely a decent display of magic. But I'm the mighty Alicia Rand Philistine! Half baked magic like that won't even make me flinch!- Alicia

Alicia Rand Philistine you say? Don't screw with me! You're nothing more than a third rate mage abusing her name! The real Alicia wouldn't even get a scratch from magic of this caliber!- unknown voice

Uhh... well…... that's...a long story.- Alicia

If you really are Alicia Rand Philistine, then prove it! With unlimited mana. Use your power to block this attack!- unknown voice

After that,man suddenly appeared out of the waterfall. He had brown hair and half his face was covered by a scarf.

So this must be the mage named Majin.- Felix

Wait could you be?- Alicia
