The Grasslands
A gentle breeze blows through the grasslands leading to the Eastern Forest, and the scent of plants tickles my nostrils. A unicorn’s hooves gently kick up the earth, creating a light, lively rhythm. The sky stretches endlessly blue, and white clouds drift slowly by. As I gently stroke the Lyre of Atlantis, my thoughts turn to the spirits I am about to encounter.
Soon, a deep green begins to appear on the horizon. It is the Eastern Forest. As I approach the forest’s entrance, the air grows cool, and the rustling of the trees grows louder. Sunlight filtering through the trees paints a mottled pattern on the ground, creating a magical atmosphere. I dismount from the unicorn and pause at the forest’s entrance.
“O spirits, I am Mitamu of the Hourai. Having received a mission from the goddess, I have come to spread your power.”
I call out to the forest. Silence reigns for a moment, but eventually, several small lights emerge from within the woods and slowly approach me. The lights gradually take shape, revealing forest fairies with charming appearances.
“Welcome to the Eastern Forest, Lady Mitamu. Your name has already resonated deep within the forest.”
One of the fairies, who seemed to be their leader, spoke to me in a beautiful voice. The fairies guided me into the forest. Inside, the forest was far more vast and mysterious than it appeared from the outside. Giant trees covered the sky, and plants I had never seen before bloomed profusely at my feet.
The fairies lead me to a massive Spirit Spring at the center of the forest. The spring is filled with emerald-green water and glows softly. All around it, spirits of various kinds have gathered and are playing happily.
“Lady Mitamu, this spring is the source of the forest spirits’ power. Please purify yourself with the water from this spring and feel the power of the spirits.”
Following the fairy’s instructions, I wash my hands and face with the spring water. The water is cold and refreshing, and I feel as though the spirits’ power is flowing into my body.
“Lady Mitamu, it seems you possess a special power. The spirits are naturally drawn to you.”
The fairy smiled at me. “In this forest, interact with the spirits and come to understand their power. Then, use their power to fulfill your mission.”
I expressed my gratitude to the fairy. “Thank you, fairies. Thanks to your guidance, I was able to feel the spirits’ power. I will do my utmost to spread their power and make this world a true paradise.”
The fairies bowed deeply to me and vanished into the depths of the forest. I sat down in front of the Spirit Spring and began to meditate. I listened intently to the voices of the spirits, deepening my connection with them.
