Immediately after capturing the roaches and they get called “Intruders!” by a Nautren in the figure of a man but with giant crescent ears. Ponting straight at Olwan who is taking the oversized insects as hostage. With the other humanoid figured Nautrens rising from the ground, falling from leaves or walking out from the tree trunks. They all surround the four intruders and seeing that here is no way out. Olwan let go of her capture and raises her hands up.

Amerie follows diligently with tilted lips eyesbrows raising in confusion. Isaac and Peacock does so as well.

“Where and how did ye four come in our Módbeorg? Answer immediately when this chance is peak high.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHloGnaSISU
Looking around for an escape is pointless, Olwan knows already but it is a bad habit that she sweat out a bead, “Dear Nautrient!” addressing the crescent eared, “Servant of the Nautriarchs and great peacekeepers. It was not our intention to intrude yer holy azure. But our intentions are good.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwWkAVEcWn
“Hm, tell now.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsLlkZY0Ot
But before Olwan could answer, Amerie replies first, “We’d love to speak in your communal dens.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBY1j7yKEF
“Amerie!” Owlan scolds in a whisper,
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbKZgnmSIK
“Our communal dens? And what of your exit?”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqqlfbeYMX
“We—”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge2WIeCr8g
Amerie cuts off Olwan, “My intention requests the audience of Alongadol. For the Communal dens be for my servant and pet. My friend has her own intentions.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfnFJFsCUP
“Knowledgeable,” the Nautrient nods, saying, “Best be direct and honest. But for Alongadol,” All the Nautrens lower their heads, “Our Alongadol, is dead.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfGHIgTYtd
“Care to tell what happened?”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnI4QYNRqhG
The Nautrient looks up at Amerie, honesty in her emerald eyes, “…To the communal dens, as for yer friend” Turning to Olwan, “She can either follow or leave before the Dung and Weavers covers the cracks.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrUjEORk8m
Amerie and Peacock both follow the Nautrient while Isaac comes after when Olwan nods, gesturing that she will head back. Blues lulls the purple grassy forest with hypnotizing peaceful fireflies. The moon watches from the high clouds. Yawning at the boy with Peacock who perches on Isaac’s shoulder. “Let me sleep a bit” Nodding off, and Isaac wants to sleep with how much he is wiping the sleepy tears off his wet and droopy eyes. Amerie remains serious, pondering which the boy asks, “Something on your mind Amerie?”

The giantess twitches her shoulders awake, chuckling, “Haha, nothing Isaac. Just sleep walking. This forest. Makes me feel so sleepy.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJmoFq4OIn
“Módbeorg’s forests love to care for the sleepy” The Nautrient says, hands behind his back as his crescent ears flap in his steps, “Too much so that it puts mortals to sleep. And we Nautrens love to sleep in his forests. Very very peaceful, and refreshing.”

They reach a giant tree whose branches start from the roots creating poles that sway together with the branches up high. Nautrens in different abstract figures and animalistic-floral hybrid forms come and go from the walls but many walk in and out orderly from a hollow. A Nautrien in bark armor with a bulging forehead greets their Nautrient escort. “Invaders to guests. Her honesty proves behaved.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhJoI25tCu
“And honesty proves goodness?” The guard asks, leaning her spear in front of them, “Alongadol is dead, and the Nautriarchs wishes for no one in or out of Módbeorg. Yet ye let them in. An action worth for a traitor.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiViCawzKd
“No,” their escort defends, “Her Giantess, servant and pet wishes only to request an audience to Alongadol. Prophecy tells of them. Mayfairy will come with her most loyal servant and pet during the hours in grave high. And I can feel it from her. Blood influenced by us, a Mayfairy.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78hpLUtc61
The guard turns to Amerie and offers her hand, “Give” she says and Amerie obliges. Gripping gently and the Nautrient’s eyes glow light. Amerie lets go and the guard exhales. “I know that Mayfairy is important. But speak to the elders or an oracle, and their words will serve your entrance.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHbinkMHoe
“Ugh, you young’uns…fine,” The escort says before turning back, “I hope you three are not in a hurry.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9sb7WbN1I
With Kinguin in danger of being stomped by walking hills. Amerie’s honesty comes as clear as moonlight, “We are…” Refraining her reasons from spilling with tight lips.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFfVyoRGQF
The escort leads them far, near to the borders where a squad of armored Nautrens rally around clearings, some marching and in patrol. Their clenched pale faces staring only forwards. And Peacock asks to Isaac low and quiet, “We are not being kicked out, are we?”.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcueDnYbuD
The boy shakes his head but he too does not know, “We are going to meet an oracle, or an elder.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnq9nwIkJ10
“Yeah…but can we even tell how old they are? Look at that one” Pointing with his wings, “A baby crawling around! Maybe that is an elder.”

They entire a giant tree log. Big enough for Amerie to jump and pick hanging berries with her mouth. Confusing the boy and the Peocock which she looks at their faces and giggles. “Just trying to keep myself awake.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9qkztPPkN
Vines hang the berries before eventually opening to a clearing. This large fallen tree being carved out from the inside, and made its wilted leaves hang to room with the withered branches. At the center of the clearing are ten beds placed in a circle with a wrinkled urn shaped Nautren. Her misted eyes glancing the new guests, her ears on the escort and giantess but focused gaze stay on a pimple of Isaac’s forehead.
