Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

“They might be related with the Yggdragon as well, as you explained me before, you hear “his” voice, is it not?” Asked Titania. “Well, the Ancient High Elves are a tribe of beings much more ancient than us fairies. While I told you about the history of our creation and the Verdant Continent, long ago, when the world was just being created by the Gods, they created three ancient tribes that would govern three different realms within the world of Arcadia.”

“Three Ancient Tribes?!” Brisingra asked in surprise.

“Indeed. The Ancient High Elves, which I assume was your mother, Brisingra, were tasked with protecting the lands. Meanwhile, the Divine Dragons were given the task of protecting the heavens, and lastly, the Ancient Majin were given the task to protect the Underworld.” Titania explained. “I’ve learned from Gaia in ancient times that the Yggdrasil tree… Might have been somehow related with the Divine Dragons. The strongest of them all, the mother of all Dragons, Yggdragon, who, after a battle against an Ancient Evil, was weakened, and fell into the lands of Verdant, where she fell into an eternal slumber, her body made of wood slowly transforming into a huge tree, which feed the entire world with life after Erebus, the Ancient God of Chaos, destroyed most life in the Great Ancient War.”

“Erebus…” I muttered. “I see. I did told you about what I saw from him, right? I guess the dots connect quite well now. So they called him the God of Chaos?”

“Indeed, I know full well that he was manipulated by the Gods that hated Gaia’s love for him. He was… a “failed creation” that ended punishing the Ancient Gods for their own incompetence and selfishness.” Titania sighed. “And even now, he remains, divided into seven beings, the Demon Kings.”

“Wait, so Yggdrasil was always a dragon?!” Mark asked in surprise. “Amazing… So the reason why Planta can turn into this Yggdragon form is most likely this. Though I had no idea it was the most ancient and the strongest.”

“She was considered their mother, as she was the first Divine Dragon to have been created, and from her body and life essence, not only dragons were created, but also other types of living beings. It is even said she birthed the first Ancient Majin by mixing her powers with the Goddess of Darkness and the Night, Nyx, and birthed the Ancient High Elf Queen from mixing her powers with the God of Time Chronos and the Goddess of Space, Nebula.” Sighed Titania. “I think… She was considered a “perfect creation” unlike Erebus, who was always seen as the failure.”

“That’s…” I muttered, quickly realizing something. “Is this why the Demon Kings harbor so much unreasonable hate against me? With the Demon King of Miasma, it was clear he hated me as if I had ruined his entire life from the beginning, and then with Thanatos, it’s the same! He hates me as if he held a grudge of a thousand years. It is as if I had ruined his life when he had yet to become an undead…”

“I am not so sure; my knowledge only goes this far.” Sighed Titania. “But that’s… quite the possibility, now that I think about it.”

“Also this is strange, I thought all Demon Kings were reborn as monsters, but Thanatos, from what we’ve learned, he was clearly a human before!” Said Rita, interrupting the silence. “Titania you’ve lived a long time! Do you know who was Thanatos? King Dainn only knew he was the former King of the Kingdom of Sorrow.”

“I don’t know either. The knowledge I told you beforehand was what it was imparted to me by Lady Gaia when I was born and given intelligence and wisdom to lead my race, which Mother Yggdrasil, the Yggdragon now transformed into a life-giving world tree, created from her branches and fruits.” Titania sighed. “I have never meet nor talked with this man… Its strange, in fact. It feels like… there’s a large gap of time in my memory from the defeat of the demon king of miasma and then the demon king of death.”

“Like… everything is mixed?” I asked. “As if the timelines… what has happened in this world, changed somehow, yet some of you remain with gaps of memories, perhaps of the things that would make you question if this world is truly the one you’ve always known, isn’t it?”

“Ah…” Titania fell silent. “Planta, do you know something? This feeling I have…”

“We don’t know much either.” I sighed.

“Yeah, we just learned from King Dainn that his wife had come from… maybe another time.” Said Mark. “She said that “the great reset failed” and that “everything got mixed up”, but we don’t know much more than this.”

“I see…” Titania sighed, feeling rather troubled. “What… What was the name of her tribe? Do you know the name of this woman, Mercedes?”

“My mother’s tribe was named the “Overseers of Time”… It already sounds quite suspicious, isn’t it?” Brisingra sighed.

“I’ve heard that name before, somewhere… I can’t… remember well though.” Titania muttered, as she started to tremble. “Ugh… my head…!”

“Queen Titania!” Nieve and Florie cried, flying to her side.

“Are you alright?” I asked, giving her an Elixir. “Drink this, it should relieve the pain. Don’t try to remember any more, Titania. That’s enough. Whatever is… stopping you from doing so, you can’t go against that.”

“I see…” Titania sighed, drinking the elixir. “It might be some knowledge we are not allowed to attain ourselves. But this is… different for you, the Players. The Ancient High Elves, I don’t know much about them, as I’ve never interacted with them from what I remember, but I do know where they live, or… well, what remains of them. They existed in the Floating Continent of Cloudia, where they lived with the Divine Dragons. Sadly, that Continent… was destroyed by the Demon King, and its fragments fell into the world. Now scattered, whatever remains of the Ancient High Elves and the Divine Dragons must be within the rest of the world, and I can detect a large concentration of Spiritual Energy to the southwest, behind the mountains near the Luminous Kingdom. This would be a nice excuse for all of you to get there and investigate a bit too.”
