The peaks of the mountains of the Sea of Trees were colored in a faint orange color. They looked like the arms of giants striving to be first in their attempt to catch the setting sun. The grove of golden trees extending to the right swayed like a flower field teased by gusts of wind. The white and black masses of rocks on the left, which were shaped after candles or white, high-class flowers, seemed to squirm thanks to the golden trees.
If you looked at that from a certain angle, it might look like gods and angels, colored by the evening sun and moonlight, were peacefully dancing atop the mountains with evil spirits to a musical performance where the mountains played the orchestra’s instruments and the conductor stood at the foot while holding a crown in a hand.
The gorges illuminated by the moons, which lost their vividness to the evening sun, glittered like the backs of silver wolves. Rapid currents ran past those gorges, and strong winds blew down into the valley like the ferocious howling of wolves.
The water that continued to fall off the big waterfalls at the end of the currents turned into water vapor and was carried across the Sea of Trees by the winds blowing from the mountains.
Moreover, as a result of multidimensional, peculiar mana, which gushed out of a part of the Sea of Trees as light particles, being added, it transformed the plateau into fertile land that would even grow the rare Phantasmagoric Spirit Moon Herb and an environment rearing special and unique monsters as well as unusual trees where each had its own shape.
This was the dangerous Sea of Trees, infested with huge numbers of monsters.
At the end of a narrow path, adjoining a small mountain which could be described as an unexplored region of the Sea of Trees, was a single village. It was located in a spot where people would definitely get lost in the natural environment of overlapping forests and mountains, if they didn’t know the route to Hekatrail.
The name of that village was Cydale. Shuuya’s friend Quiche had built it from scratch together with orphaned children.
Quiche had been putting a lot of effort into this every day. But, Cydale still had lots of room to develop.
There was a single hill within Cydale which was also a symbol of historic ruins. However, that symbol was in a wretched state since it had been cruelly destroyed by a certain ancient dragon. The top of that hill was plastered with holes resembling those at the Bewitching Valaydaz Palace.
Those holes were connected to caves which were part of the Pel-Heka-Line and also led to a certain sanctuary…
On the other side, Cydale had a light brown, wooden gate as entrance. It had been built by inserting several cypresses into holes in the rock walls. However, the newly made gate was riddled with cuts and scratches.
After all, it was under constant attack by orcs. It was a simple gate with the countless damages it suffered from the orcs attacking with spears, swords, axes, magic, and arrows standing out like medals for having served its duty.
Atop the gate stood a single girl. She had a lovely appearance with her long, silver hair and her darkish skin. In the past she had been the third apostle of Evil God Nicross. And to be more precise, she was a golden caterpillarGolden Securion who was capable of evolving into a demon king species.
Nowadays she had been reborn into a special
