The Hivemind had sent its Units towards Eden, meanwhile, Ervas and Veronica were discussing the prospects of the future ahead and what they had to do to help out the twins. After billions of years, they were finally back, but so many things had gone by that they felt overwhelmed and rather stricken by the grief of the moment, they felt like they had done something they couldn't do and had failed them when they needed their help the most.

Despite having acted calm and to an extent carefreely, they were concerned about the twins more than anything, and wanted to amend for their mistakes to an extent, due to this, they wanted to see if it was possible to speak to them through dreams, something that might actually help them awaken from their eternal slumber, something not even the Tree of Yggdrasil can do.

They also had wanted to apologize with the tree, and they had done it multiple times before, but because of their fight, the tree only grew more hateful and had only allowed them to stay due to a lack of being able to do anything against it, after all they had already showed enough power to be able to destroy the crystal tree if they wanted, which was the link to the moon, the tree saw that they deep down had no bad intentions and decided to leave them here, but was that all of it?

If the tree had left entities capable of destroying a planet dwell within her divine realm even after the fight and all, it wasn't just out of fear of not being able to do anything else and growing submissive, it wanted something of them… or… well, simply put, it trusted them, but it was too much of a tsundere to admit it.

"The tree showed to be a big tsundere, for real.

" Said Veronica.

"Indeed, I can tell that she had begun to trust us, even if a tiny little bit. If that wasn't the case, she wouldn't let us stay here like nothing. She obviously has different intentions in that regard, she seems to recognize us and probably, she actually just wants us to help her,

" said Ervas.

"If that's the case maybe we should go to talk to her again and tell her, right?

" asked Aurora.

"If you want to be friends again, you have to talk it out!

" said Violet as she adorably waved her fluffy squirrel tail.

"Yeah…! Like Violet said.

" Said Aura, while nodding.

"Hehe, Aura-chan, you're touching my tail…

" giggled Violet.

Aura was caressing Violet's long and fluffy tail, and using a groom to caress it and always keep it well clean. Aura was very dedicated to Violet and liked to take care of her, the adorable girl was often careless in certain things.

"But you got a lot of dust on it! You have to wash your tail a bit more…

" said Aura, as she rubbed her face over her fluffy tail. She smelled the scent of the tail and felt infatuated, blushing intensively… the girl might be growing a strong fixation with Violet. But Violet herself didn't seem to mind.

As they glanced at the cute scene, the group quickly resumed the main topic once more.

"Well, what are we waiting for? I want to go outside and meet the people outside too! We have yet to get to the planet as well, and I want to explore this tree's divine realm.

" Said Anna.

"Oh right! We should really do some exploration, peko! This is like traveling to an alien world and stuff.

" Said Pekorina.

"I am for it! I want to meet these Erveronian people you spoke about! They seem to have an amazing civilization here…

" said Amelia.

"I wonder if they have many countries here? What about the food and their culture? Are they just like Kritias people, or different?

" wondered Acathea.

"I bet they're different somehow, after all they're a race of people that was born out of the fusion between Ervas and Veronica!

" said Aqua.

"When you put it like that, it really feels odd to listen to!

" said Veronica.

"Mother, father, are they like our siblings?

" wondered Fafnir Zahhak, the big dragon was resting behind everyone, as he was too big to sit down. He liked to take long naps and often wasn't present in reunions due to that, but he had recently begun to become more active in conversations as his two minds were developing more, no longer being those of toddlers.

"Yeah, are they like our siblings? We technically are siblings with Faf-kun and Zah-kun.

" Said Kuro.

"Nee-sama, I am grateful you recognize our family bond…

" said Fafnir while blushing.

"Nee-sama is the cutest, I am happy we have a cute nee-sama like Kuro-chan.

" Said Zahhak.

"Hehe, I am happy I got a big dragon brother too!

" said Kuro, as she sat down in between the two large paws of the two-headed dragon, the two dragons looked and their sister tenderly as they licked her face from time to time, leaving her all slippery.

"Ueegh… Stop! Agh!

"

"Nee-sama's cute…

"

"Cute!

"

They might no longer be toddlers, but they still had the minds of kids, or maybe young teens, with a hint of animalistic playfulness that the dragon race gave to their trait. After all they were also a cosmic beast, so they were different from normal people.

"Indeed, I guess they're like our long-lost descendants or something, indirectly made by our clones, the twins, which had diverged tremendously from our original selves over billions of years.

" Said Ervas.

"I am also interested in their culture, anatomy, and how they work and stuff… we can also go to Eden after exploring the main town in here… I believe this is just a city of the many there are spread across this divine realm.

" Said Veronica.

"Then what are we waiting for, let's go explore a little bit. Maybe walking around will help you out think things through, and the experience alone will help you freshen the mind a bit more.

" Said Shade.

"You're right! Alright! Let's do it!

" said Veronica.

"Okay then, let's get to it.

" said Ervas.

"That's the spirit, let's go! Boop!

" said Aurora.

FLASH!

The entire group was suddenly teleported into the divine realm of the tree once more!
