[At Estel's Orphanage]
[Calypso point of view]
Without the fluffiness of Behe's fur nor bunches of Bobunny's cute fluffiness combined to make a bed, I find myself sleeping on one of the empty sofa. It's quite, maybe because most of the kids are taking their afternoon naps, and the one that doesn't either finishing up their homework, training inside the training hall, or simply keep quite as they didn't want to disturb those who are sleeping, which in turn, makes me drowsier just by thinking of it
"I wonder if the Fairy Queen will make the trial and the rite for the Avery hard"
"True. She might be the queen, but I heard that she's just as, if not, even more mischievous than us"
"Poor Avery Farhah, but if she couldn't complete any trial that's thrown by the queen, then she couldn't possibly complete the rite of the Avery"
The rite of the Avery. Right. Right. I remember the rite one hundred years back... What was it again? I can't remember well... Maybe because of the curse that prevents any information related to Fallen God being passed down from generation to generation affecting me. Maybe, but I get the feeling that
(What a minute...) "OH CRAP!" [Calypso]
I'm supposed to be there helping them all out! I should get going now itself!
"Heading out?" [Filvisar]
"Filvisar! Claude! Rafiah! Listen!" [Calypso]
"Calm down. Calm down. We are listening" [Rafiah]
"Plus, we got exactly what you need" [Claude]
"That's... The stick from the Tree of Life that's been sleeping on your lab!" [Calypso]
How could I forget that. I mean, I used it as a bed for almost a hundred year when I was gravely injured after the fight with Agnes a hundred years back
"Item box magic! I'll store it inside my item box magic and go straight away!" [Calypso]
"Please do so. I do hope of helping them out, but you know what's happening right now" [Claude]

"I know. You two wanted to protect Rafiah from those Meddling third party. I get it. I'll go alone!" [Calypso]
"Not just me, but the other kids as well" [Rafiah]
"You know how to use it don't you" [Filvisar]
"It will come back Knocking, so I'm sure I know how to use the stick to help them" [Calypso]
"I'm worried now..." [Rafiah]
"Please, don't act too hastily" [Filvisar]
"I won't! Trust your reliable partner a bit more!" [Calypso]
Taking the stick and saying goodbye to them (as well as the kids that are still awake), before telling the other fairies to cover for my absence. I wanted to go there straight, but that wouldn't be possible, so to the dungeon I go...
"Huh?" [Calypso]
This mana? Holy Beast of Earth?

[Somewhere inside the Forest Dungeon]
"Thank you for letting us in" [Kucin]
"This Camper Van Golem is maintain quite well" [Anjin]
"There's new model of it on the market, but I suppose this is the very first one made by Ash, isn't it?" [Khamishah]
"That's right. All of us took responsibility on maintaining it" [Karon]
"You said that, but you're the one that been maintaining it the most" [Elise]
Since we encountered the three of them, we promptly invited them inside the camper van golem. Giving them some fresh cold juice and little bit of snacks, Rean brief them what happen back at the New Headquarters, and when our part of the story done
"That's what we find" [Kucin]
"Mostly thank to your fellow siblings of the orphanage. They really are raring to help you. We only ask them one thing and look at the amount of information that we got from them" [Anjin]
"Some of them are outdated, while some are false, but most of the other tell us the same thing, consistent with the information brokers" [Khamishah]
"If that's the case, hearing it now while we are searching for the Tree of Life will be the best" [Kara]
"True. I'm getting tired of not getting any results whatsoever" [Farhah]
True. Farhah has been the one that throughly searching every nook and cranny, and yet there's no sign of Tree of Life. The gigantic Tree of Life shouldn't be that hard to miss. I mean, the description might vary from person to person, and from tales to tales, but one common point is that it's big and stick out as compared to the rest of the trees
"That much..." [Mara]
"I'm sorry, but is that really true?" [Savel]
"Both of us were positive that most beastman nowadays, whether from or outside of Beastman Kingdom branded that group as nothing but a terrorist group" [Singa]
"I feel the same. Not that I distrust our fellow siblings reports nor do we distrust the three of you, but, that many..." [Elise]
"Outrageous, is the word that comes to our mind" [Nara]
"Simply outrageous" [Lara]
"But it's the truth" [Khamishah]
"We find it hard to believe as well, but with so many reports saying the same thing, at least we should assume the minimum numbers of members of that group is like that of the report" [Anjin]
"That's scary... It's like we will face off against the same number of enemies like during the headquarters" [Zerolith]
"True, but with less support this time around" [Rean]
"So, our strength will be the twelve of us together with Behe, Mrs Khamishah, Anjin and Kucin, and the Fairy Queen Titania with her army of fairies, but can most fairies fight? I'm having a hard time imagining little fairies face off against brute force like those beastmen" [Charlotte]
"Meow..." [Behe]
"What he's meowing?" [Anjin]
"She said Calypso can fight" [Elise]
"Calypso is a special case, but even then, I find it hard to imagine Calypso fighting against group of True Beastman Group..." [Charlotte]
Calypso is strong (and old as well...), she's been helping us a lot in the past six years, most notably helping Farhah and Karon training inside this dungeon, but I still find it difficult to imagine her fighting. Even a fairy as strong as her can be brought down by brute force, so if other fairies who's weaker than her...
"Anyway, we need to start searching for the Tree of Life, or maybe searching for Fairy Queen Titania first" [Khamishah]
"That would be the best" [Rean]
"True. Night will soon fall upon us, so let us make haste" [Farhah]
"Monsters lurking in the night inside the forest dungeon shouldn't be underestimated" [Karon]
"Why did I feel like you're speaking based on your past experience" [Charlotte]
