Suddenly, it felt as if we were watching the mories of other people. No, these mories… they were those of Titania and the Snake Queen, Saphee.
FLASH!
In that mont, in between the scene where Titania hugged Saphee while crying, I saw sothing else. It was a small Titania, a fairy girl no bigger than a child in her six years of age. And with her, there was a green-scaled snake.
Just what was this? This feeling of sorrow…
The vision changed once more, as I saw a strange illusion, it felt as if I was being absorbed into a different world, a world of the past, where things were different, very different.
In there I saw an enormous forest, an even bigger one than the Forest of Beginnings, yet it felt like it was exactly that forest itself. It was… as if this was the Forest of Beginnings of many years' ego, in Eras long forgotten.
Inside of that Forest there was an enormous tree, bigger than the Ancient Tree of Beginnings. It was radiant and beautiful, shining with bright green light, and illuminating everything with the beautiful brightness and soothing radiance of spiritual essence.
The forest was growing big, as big as the entire continent, covering almost every inch of it. An endless maze of trees and beautiful greenery. Lakes, rivers, and many beasts lived in this beautiful continent.
I see… Is this why the Continent is nad Verdant? It was because it was once completely covered on beautiful greenery to the point anybody could see it was completely green.
Within this beautiful forest, the enormous tree that was taller than skyscrapers themselves had a small flower, which slowly blossod over many eons. I saw the stations pass one after the other, as if I had joined with the world itself. The small flower blossod, growing larger and larger, until it suddenly produced a beautiful fruit resembling a pink peach.
When the fruit erged from the flower, it suddenly fell from the skies, clashing down into the ground. It slowly opened as if it was a cocoon, as from within, a little baby erged. It was an adorable baby fairy, but it was certainly almost the sa size as the adult ones. This was, without a doubt, Titania…
Her beautiful eyes opened, looking into the beautiful world surrounding her. Her eyes shone brightly with rainbow light, as the world itself around her cared for her. Nature served her, plants called for her, and birds sang for her. Despite never finding soone of her kin, she never felt truly alone.
However, deep down, not finding soone with intelligence to speak with and make friends saddened her over the years. She tried many tis to speak with the Ancient Tree, but it seed mostly silent. Although the tree cared for her and did everything it could to protect her and maintain her healthy, it couldn't speak with words, and only could transmit its emotions towards her.
"I wonder if I am the only one here…"
Titania sighed, while looking at the moon while sitting over a branch.
The tree heard her daughter's sorrow and decided to give her friends.
Suddenly, the next day, Titania woke up to two more flowers that had erged atop the tree, and a big mushroom colony that grew over its roots.
She was confused, but remained near them, always looking as they grew slowly, every day, for years…
Eventually, both fruits fell from the sky, and the mushroom colony separated itself into spores, only leaving a big and orange mushroom behind.
"Wow…"
From within the fruits, two creatures erged. A beautiful black crown with an intelligent and wise gaze, beautiful and lustrous black feathers, and an honorable presence, and a small and adorable snake, with green scales and beautiful erald eyes. And from within the mushroom, a smaller one appeared, with eyes, mouth, and little arms and legs, it had a orange cap and seed very friendly.
"Y-You're… friends?" Titania wondered back then, looking at the creatures that appeared.
They slowly walked towards her, inspecting her. They were all smaller than her, no bigger than the real world equivalent of those animals, while the little mushroom was no bigger than the palm of her hand.
"Friend?"
The crow was the first to speak.
"What's… a friend?"
The mushroom was the second to speak.
"Friend…!"
And the snake was the third, who licked Titania's face playfully.
"Heheh… Yeah, I am a friend!"
Titania smiled for the first ti.
The tree watched over her, as it felt happy to see her happy.
Titania played with these three children, she loved them. They were her best friends, they accompanied her always, and learned how to speak very quickly. They had their own distinct personalities and had amazing talent over magic she had never used before.
With them, Titania never felt lonely anymore. She was smiling every day, having adventures with her friends, learning new secrets, and discovering the beautiful world around her. Day and night, years after years. It felt like an eternity passed in these days, thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of years…
Titania and her friends slowly grew up, she grew into a beautiful and mature lady, looking like a mother. While her friends grew big and powerful, they protected her and guarded her from danger, they were the sacred beasts of Verdant.
"Saphee! Are you there?"
A youthful Titania flew around the skies, as she reached a swamp, within there, a big snake erged. It was Saphee. However, her scales were not purple nor her eyes red. She was covered in moss and weed, but she quickly cleansed that, showing her beautiful and lustrous green scales, and her erald eyes.
"Good morning Titania… Yawn…"
"Look at you! You're all covered in moss, geez! Why are you always sleeping in the swamp?"
Titania rapidly cleansed her friend as Saphee gently let herself be cleansed by her friend, and then licked her face. Titania smiled adorable at that, and hugged her back, kissing her nose.
"Mama said that there's news today as well! I could feel her intentions! There's sothing happening in the tree, let's go see!"
"Oh! Well, let's go then."
