Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

The Players suddenly noticed that Titania was growing weaker. Her powers were slowly beginning to fade away, and many of the fairies that Angelina had revived had fallen unconscious, their life energy and mana being almost emptied. The players looked into the distance, finding the Tree of Beginnings suddenly transforming, becoming a monstrous giant Treant overflowing with Miasmic and Chaotic energy.

The entire forest quickly began to grow darker and darker, not even a single plant life was spared, everything was absorbed by the deathly miasma, becoming a wasteland. The beautiful place the Players and every inhabitant of this forest loved with their hearts, which they had protected for so long… it was now gone, turned into a land of death and darkness.

The night sky was shrouded by black and purple clouds, red lighting gathering within the skies as the enormous Tree of Beginnings started to laugh evilly. The darkness it exuded shrouding any light that people could see, yet the light of he red lightning atop the skies illuminated everything ominously.

“This can’t be… The tree of beginnings…” Muttered Titania, falling to her knees while feeling constantly more weakened.

“What’s going on?!” Asked Angelina, rushing towards her.

“She’s dying? But why?” Asked Anikitty.

“The tree must have some sort of connection with the inhabitants of this forest.” Gandalf said.

“Is she okay?!” Asked Erdrich.

“Hahhh… The tree is our heart, the heart of the forest… the heart of this world’s life. The spirits… whose lifeblood is connected with this tree… we’ll die.” She cried. Titania began to fall into despair. “It’s over… everything’s over…”

“What? Of course it’s not over…!” Angelina said.

“The life of the spirits?!” Asked Anikitty. “Wait, is this some sort of apocalyptic event? Is this guy a new world boss?”

“No… this thing is the world boss.” Said Gandalf. “The Demon King has somehow brought himself here and has possessed the heart of the forest and spirits, he’s going to kill them all and shroud the world into darkness at the same time. Damn this guy’s cunning.”

“W-We are not even in the right level to fight a World Boss yet!” Erdrich panicked.

“Please tell me what should we do?” Asked Angelina, trying to heal Titania, but she could not.

“There’s… nothing more you can do. This… the end.” Titania cried, tears flowing from her eyes. “The end of everything…”

The Players looked at one another, panic was clear in their eyes.

FLASH!

However, as everyone despaired, a bright glow emerged from within the destroyed Fairy Queen’s castle. The four players noticed it, and so did Titania.

A shockwave of bright golden and green energy emerged from within it, as the rubble covering the origin of this energy was blown away, and a beautiful tree was revealed to everyone.

“Wait, that’s a tree right?” Anikitty wondered.

“That is no normal tree! It is not being infected by the Miasma… Why?” Asked Gandalf.

“That’s…” Titania looked into the tree, her eyes glowing brightly in surprise. “Planta’s Heart of the Forest.”

At the same time, Titania had a conversation with Planta through her Spirit Projection…

“Everything is over… everything…” Titania seemed defeated, she couldn’t really think of any solution anymore, her power was fading.

“Eh? Why?! Even if the Tree of Beginnings was possessed, there’s still a way!” Planta couldn’t give up.

“No… It is over now.” But Titania continued refuting her.

“W-Why?!”

“The Tree of Beginnings is the Core of the Forest, the Core of Nature and Spirits, the last child of the Great World Tree that you saw through those memories once we defeated Saphee…” Sighed Titania.

“T-That means…?”

“It means that now that the Demon King has corrupted it, the last hope for this world’s nature and spirits is gone, corrupted! It cannot be purified now… As it was the source of the spirit’s power.” Titania sighed, suddenly, she began growing fainter and fading away. “My power is banishing…”

“Wait, wait, Titania! There must still be a way to do this!” Planta said while growing desperate. “Can’t we make a new core?”

“No that’s impossible… Only children of the World Tree can become the cores, and it is a delicate process made by the gods intervention. The gods have grown weaker, the world… the elements of the world, everything… The end is approaching… It is over.”

Planta never thought that Titania would ever say such harsh words, her form slowly banishing more and more before her eyes.

“No, it is not over… While I am still here, it won’t be over! Titania, remember the tree I made?” Planta asked her.

“That tree?” Titania wondered, as she was banishing more and more.

“Bring everyone there! That’s my Heart of the Forest, you can draw Spirit Power from there!”

“Ah… but…”

“Protect it! Don’t let that get corrupted! I’ll be on my way right away once I regroup with everybody else!” Planta told her.

“But…”

“TITANIA! Snap out of it!” Planta roared back at her. “Since when have you been like this?! Where’s the brave queen of fairies at?!” 𝓫𝒹ℴℴ𝓶

“Ah…!”

“Come on!”

“…Right.”

Titania’s eyes gained some more light.

“You’re right… I don’t know what happened to me! Sure! Alright! We can… find a way! Planta, hurry! We’ll do everything we can to protect your tree! Our last hope!”

“Thank you! And I’ll hurry, wait for me! I’ll come with everyone else!”

Titania’s Spiritual Projection banished in front of Planta, but her real body opened its eyes. She began slowly absorbing the energy that Planta’s Heart of the Forest imbued at her, at the same time, she saw the fairies gaining a second wind, although it was very faint, this power was enough to help them move and fly.

“This power… that tree is Planta’s Heart of the Forest.” Said Titania. “She said we could use it to heal ourselves, and its energy, although faint, is healing us and giving us strength…”

Titania slowly stood up, walking there.

Quickly, she noticed the Treants began walking directly towards it!

They immediately knew it was something they had to destroy.

“We need to protect it, the Treants are aiming at it now!”
