I can only see this mighty tree in front of me. Behind me is an ocean. Suddenly all those Flying squirrels who helped me earlier surrounded me. Ace is still asleep in my arms. Then suddenly the baby squirrel came forward from the crowd. It was the same squirrel.

He bit my sleeves and tried to pull me towards the tree. The squirrels around me started to give us a path that leads me straight into the tree. When the distance between the tree and me got closer, I could see how large the tree actually was. There was a small hole in the major tree where an average person couldn't fit through.

As soon as I entered, the ground under me started to move upwards. Hundreds of flying squirrels left as soon as the ground started to move. Only the baby squirrel stayed with me. He climbed on my shoulder. The bright light showered right in my eyes. And as soon as I could see again, I saw a huge flower bud. It looked like a pink rose flower bud.

But there was nothing around us. Then suddenly a sound came right from behind the flower bud.

“My child. Did you bring me a new visitor?”It was a voice and it was a beautiful voice of a woman. Then a figure floated in the sky and landed right in front of me. She was completely naked but her body was completely covered in leaves,stems,and flowers. She had red on the right side of her eye and green on the other. In place of her hairs, there were creepers flowing and she didn't have legs but roots connected with the tree.

Suddenly, Ace woke up and ran towards this mysterious figure. He looked happy to see this mysterious identity. “Oh boy! Look who is back again. Is this your third visit? I treated your injuries when you came last time didn't I?” She also looked happy to see it.Then suddenly a loud and heavy voice came.”Sitri! He just came a few hours before. You forgot?”

“Hahaha…. Well you know me. Time doesn't work the same for me,”she replied.

“May I ask…… who you are?” I asked this mysterious figure standing in front of me.

“Oh! My god. I'm really sorry. I'm Sitri, a Dryad. The watcher of the forest of the losts and this voice you just heard, is the guardian of the forest of the losts, Jisusee, The tree spirit.”

“Wait? This tree is a living identity?”

“Yes dear.”

“I don't……understand. Why am I even here?”.

“I know my child. You are confused but let me tell you something first about this place.” She flicked her fingers and suddenly a projection started to show on the walls. “ We are currently in a sub space made by Jisusee. It is what everyone says is a Dungeon. What you see here is the heart of this dungeon, a ……ummm….what it was….called?”

“Window operator”. Jisusee replied.

“Ah… yes Window Operator. You see this is…… ummm a Heart. Yes, like how the heart is important for the body, this also has similar importance for us too. But.”

“But what?” Even though it is all new information from me. I'm interested to hear everything.

“You see, as how a heart needs blood to pump, our heart has lost its blood source or rather it was stolen from us. So I need your help. Will you help us? Please.”

Wait….. what? What is she even saying?

“Aren't you guys strong enough to handle this problem? Why do you guys need outsiders help?.” I said.

“Well you see. We can't influence too much outside the dungeon and only these small creatures can help us outside but it is also too far for them to retrieve this item.”

“I understand. I will help you.”

“Oh!! You ……. Agreed that easily. Wow. I didn't think you would……agree.” Sitri also looked confused or rather astonished by Aaria's sudden agreeing for help.

“So how can I help you?”

“Yes. You just need to retrieve it from the people who stole it.It is pr

esent in the Town of IB-anna”.
