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.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aijRPcMNY
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.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZXxtc5wHi
“Hm, tell now.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R4v0UE1E9
But before Olwan could answer, Amerie replies first, “We’d love to speak in your communal dens.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb9qGFJpbY
“Amerie!” Owlan scolds in a whisper,
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzGmNFJ4kP
“Our communal dens? And what of your exit?”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMvJDtlf5V
“We—”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lcakcIgej
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.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto31WUOQRi
“Knowledgeable,” the Nautrient nods, saying, “Best be direct and honest. But for Alongadol,” All the Nautrens lower their heads, “Our Alongadol, is dead.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dcqXjAd9U
“Care to tell what happened?”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDceLmrwsVN
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.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvFz82deW1
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.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpZ0l6EBE0
“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.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOQ5m8fH4M
“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.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVLOytxXgu
“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.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslqngn129g
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.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TZfSflqSZ
“Ugh, you young’uns…fine,” The escort says before turning back, “I hope you three are not in a hurry.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjMaLGF4Lh
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.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nSZJSgmxJ
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?”.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznPZXWy2Cd
The boy shakes his head but he too does not know, “We are going to meet an oracle, or an elder.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvSkebstvx
“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.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNvZRDfEiI
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.”
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMWSsbewWd
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.
