Not bad, huh? Tafel asked. She was standing in the center of a green and brown room, one of the shelters that had been created within a trees branches. Large leaves wrapped around the curved branches, acting as translucent walls capable of letting in sunlight while keeping the room insulated.
Eds island house is better, Vur said from his seat. He was sitting on top of a bed made of moss and flower petals, each petal larger than a person. He crossed his legs and looked around before sniffing the air. This place is too small.
A wry smile appeared on Tafels face. There arent many places that can compare to Eds island house, she said. Where else would soone find dragon-sized, human furniture? Tafel rubbed her chin as she looked around. Even so, this place isnt that bad of an area to set up, right? Ill record the spatial coordinates of this area and create an underground cache to connect a portal to. Tafel blinked at Vur. It might take a while, so feel free to take a nap.
Vur nodded. Okay, he said and yawned, stretching his arms towards the ceiling. Have fun. He let his body fall over backwards, sinking into the bed of moss. The petals on the bed curled up and around him, blanketing him without any effort on his part. Within seconds, a snot bubble was rising out of his nostril.
Tafel shook her head. Just how tired was Vur for him to be sleeping all the ti? Alright, itll take roughly two days to finish establishing a spatial base, she said. The best part about having so many living beings residing inside of Vur was their ability to take ssages for him. As long as one of them heard her while Vur was asleep, hed get the ssage upon waking. If he happens to wake up and Im not done, tell him to keep himself preoccupied. Ill have Auntie deliver so food here in case so of you want to feed him while he sleeps.
Got it, Sheryl said from the sunlike rune on Vurs shoulder. She materialized in the air beside Vur and fell to the mossy bed. Then, she waved at Tafel as the demon left. The leaves that made up the wall parted way as Tafel went passed and closed again once she was through. Sheryl looked around and scratched her head. How permanent do you guys think this residence is going to be?
Probably not very, Zilphy said, materializing beside Sheryl. The elves were so easily kicked out. If soone invades while were not around, well lose everything here.
Tafels recording the spatial coordinates of this area though, Mistle said, the ocean elental making an appearance on the bed as well. Even if the residence is taken away, she can open a portal for us to take it back.
Do you honestly believe that, or are you just taking that position to go against ? Zilphy asked, placing her sticklike hands on her non-existent hips. Deedee, what are your thoughts?
I think hell agree with , Mistle said. Anyone with a brain can co to the sa conclusion as I have.
Zilphy snorted. Why would they co to the sa conclusion as soone without a brain?
Mistle and Zilphy glared at each other before their brows furrowed, small rifts appearing in the rocky surface around their eyes. They turned towards Vurs sleeping body. Deedee? Zilphy asked. Are you ignoring us again?
Diamant, Mistle said. Is everything okay? Stellas not making you do anything strange right now, is she?
What in the world? Stella asked, her head poking out of Vurs chest. I never make anyone do anything strange. Her forehead scrunched up as well upon seeing Mistles and Zilphys rocky faces. It is odd though. Deedee, what are you up to?
The fairy and elentals waited, but there was no response. After a bit, the brown runes on Vurs arms flickered before glowing. Diamant appeared, wobbling and rolling over twice as he did so, landing face down with his arms and legs splayed. He lifted his head up by rolling backwards, his diamond eyes barely leaving the ground. I need help.
Are you okay? Mistle asked, rushing over to help Diamant roll onto his knees. What happened?
Are we being invaded again? Zilphy asked, coming to Diamants side. Didnt Sheryl burn all the broccoli stalks into submission? Did they act up?
Stella placed her hands on her hips. Excuse , she said. I would know if we were being invaded. She flew over to Diamant and hovered in front of him. Is it the pupa?
Yes, Diamant said and let out a sigh as he climbed to his feet with the help of Mistle and Zilphy. Its the pupa. And its the caterpillar egg. By all the holy soil in the world, I have never t nor heard of a more needy egg in my life. Its no wonder why its mother chopped off and gave away three of her own legs to get this egg off her hands. Diamants diamond eyes widened as he glared at the elentals and fairy around him. Vur mightve given the responsibility of taking care of the egg and pupa to , but if either of them dies, all of us are going to get into trouble because Im shaless enough to drag everyone down with .
So, you want us to help you take care of the egg and pupa, Stella said and rolled her eyes. Whyd you have to be so dramatic about it?
Right? Zilphy said and crossed her arms. You just had to ask. The egg and pupa dont even move. How hard can it be to take care of them?
They keep saying theyre bored, or they want to do things, Diamant said and gestured behind himself with his hand. He grunted. Youll understand when they, well, youll see. He waved his arm, and the walls opened up as a ball of dirt floated its way in. The ball of dirt cracked open, and a pupa and an egg tumbled out.
Whoa, what place is this? This is new! This is great, Diamant. This is what I was talking about.
Everyone except Diamant and Vur exchanged glances with one another.
Did you guys hear soone speak in your head just now? Stella asked.
Everyone nodded.
Hey! New lifeforms! Great! The caterpillar egg, which looked like a large, yellow-white lon, couldnt move, but it could change colors, sparkle, and apparently shout directly into peoples minds.
