The caterpillar sucked up the mountain of stones into a magic necklace then the elders started flying towards the village. One of the muscly elders threw the passed out elder on his shoulder and another grabbed the caterpillar.
"Let's go find a place to stay the night while we wait for Kaguya's return."
At this point they saw a massive column of flames bursting high into the sky. Fuyo felt his heart tremble when he saw that pillar of flames but he didn't know why. He looked around and saw a massive spirit slaughtering the blood demon bees and a shield trapping them from escaping.
"What's going on? What happened while I was underground."
The muscly elder threw Bai's body to the floor in front of the small caterpillar and said "Izon, look after him. You did this to him, it's your responsibility." And then he shot off like an arrow cutting the wind.
Grand Meister Lao had already left as soon as he felt the energy wave. He flew so fast that the sound barrier broke and the other Grand Elders were pushed out of the way.
When the Grand Meister arrived the village elders were gathered around and crying, the Archduke Pietra Fredda held her ice like body in his hands. Half her body was blown off and the rest was encased in ice.
The Grand Meister sent out his spiritual sense to analyze her body.
Nothing.... No heartbeat, no pulse, her blood was frozen, her meridians were akin to cold ice, no energy pulsed through her body. She was completely lifeless.
Grand Meister Lao Long felt regret, he couldn't save her, he arrived too late. This group had secretly tailed her back to the village. They arrived many hours before her and waited around, he didn't think she would get hurt from someone as weak as Captain Deddo.
Gou Long arrived moments later; he was a doctor and gave the same prognosis. "She is showing no signs of life, she is dead."
Archduke Pietra Fredda held his daughter in his arms. His head lent back on his neck, his mouth was open and his jaw locked in place as he silently cried at the sky.
Even Grand Meister Lao shed a lone tear.
Fuyo arrived 20 minutes later, even though this world wasn't real. He couldn't move anywhere near as fast as them. He didn't know why, but he also shed tears.
The world start to blur and changed, time started to warp and his eyes closed. He opened his eyes again and found himself in front of the village gate where he once was. It felt like he had been in the dream for a life time. He felt his face and tasted tears. His tears contained the emotion of sadness.
He wasn't a very emotional person but he was crying. He couldn't explain it; he didn't know the white bee that died so it shouldn't have affected him when she died.
He was even more confused as he woke up, because not only did he realize that the dream he experienced was not part of his own memories but no one's memories. He wasn't anywhere inside the dream, he had looked and searched but his body was nowhere to be found. He had full control of his body in the dream; he could travel around like a spectator and view the battle from any angle.
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
"Maybe this is my unique power?"
He could see the floating group of powerful visitors even though they were invisible, float through walls and no one could see him.
It wasn't a flashback of his own memories so maybe it was a vision of the future?
As his mind readjusted with reality he felt his stomach, he was still bleeding out. He spent days in the dream land but no time had passed by on the outside. It was a surreal feeling but he had to accept reality.
He slowly made his way to the village; he was very familiar with the village because he spent many days in the dream browsing around the different buildings. He couldn't interact with anything but he could fly through walls and see the town from a bird's eye view.
As he traveled through the hundreds of houses he found many interesting things, like secret dungeons and treasure vaults, even a massive underground slave mine.
Something's were different from his vision but a lot of things were the same.
His body was still losing a lot of blood and the wound wasn't healing fast enough, he ended up collapsing and passing out before he got to the gates.

When he woke up he was inside a small shack, as he looked around he saw an old man in the corner. He held his head and muttered the same words over and over again.
"S...save..hh.....sa...save." His words were sparse and broken apart, he said them with difficulty. His mind was a complete mess; it was easy to see that he was insane just from one glance.
Fuyo recognized this old man; it was the same old man that held Kaguya's lifeless body in his vision 'Pietra Fredda'
There was a small stove with a little fire burning and the fire seemed to be boiling a kettle. In front of the kettle was a small white larva chopping up a flower into pieces. She was extremely small like a fairy. She was at least 6 times smaller than a normal larva. The knife was held in her mouth because she had no arms or legs, her skin was translucent and there was orange energy pulsing through her veins. She looked a bit different but Fuyo was a farmer so he knew she a bee larva or something similar.
It was quite a strange sight to see.
Fuyo's understanding of this world was limited but he knew that even bee larvae were many times bigger than her.
He didn't recognize this person but she obviously saved him. He looked down at his wound and noticed it had been bandaged and treated.
"T...thank you."
She turned around and looked at him, "It's okay. What happened to you anyway? Aunt was really worried about you."
"Aunt...Aunt who?"
"Did you hit your head silly? Well, looking at your state you probably did. Auntie Kaguya? Your mother Kaguya...baka."
She had a very pleasant voice; it was soothing to the ears.
"Kaguya is my mother?" He thought to himself, now it made sense. That's why he cried when she died, even though he didn't know her, his body was reacting to her death.
"Where is she? I'll go see her now."
"Are you alright? Did you really hit your head." She asked like she was talking to a stupid person.
Fuyo didn't know how to reply, he scratched his head and then said.
"I lost a lot of my memories when I fell from a tree."
"W...was it those three bullies again?" She spun around, looked him in the eyes and asked fiercely like she was ready to kill someone.
When he saw her he was a bit surprised.
"This is why Aunt forbids you from going to the Caterbee clan." She was so small yet she was telling him off. Fuyo found this quite amusing.
"It isn't much, but I found some blue sunflower medicinal grass." She said this while she turned off the kettle, filled up a cup and gave it to Fuyo to drink. She also had a cup for herself but it was only water.
"So, how did you get away from them?" She asked curiously.
"Uh... uncle..uh..Uncle Don." He couldn't remember what he called his Godfather he only knew that Don Corleone was his Godfather.
"Uncle Don? Who is Uncle Don?" She thought he really had hit his head; she had never met an Uncle Don before and they had lived together since they were born.
"The giant Crowbee, Don Corleone."
"D...Don CORLEONE!??" She dropped the cup in her hand and it smashed on the ground.
"You are lying... Dad has been missing for 3 years, that joke wasn't funny." Her eyes seemed to well up with tears as she said this. Then she walked out the door and left.
"Dammit, what's with this situation?"
He didn't know what to do and he didn't know what he did wrong.
