Chapter 838 The Great Spirit\'s Real Name
"I wouldn\'t say it is the same thing as the Yggdrasil Tree." The Verdant Lady admitted. "It is more like a special Spirit Heart, the core of the Fey Wilds, made after the image of the Yggdrasil Tree, and designed to connect with it."
"How much do you know about the past of Arcadia?" I wondered. "And… D-Do you know something about the Great Reset Event?"
"The Great Reset Event?" The Verdant Lady seemed confused. "I\'m sorry, but although it is connected, the Fey Wilds could be said to be a separate Realm from Arcadia, what has happened there hasn\'t affected us… I\'m sorry, but I know very little of the events of Arcadia, aside from what my reclusive Druids tell me about."
"I-I see… I thought you would know because you\'re technically the Nature Soul of a Continent, and therefore part of the world…" I said.
"I am certainly a part of the world, and I can extend my senses through it." She nodded. "But only in the last five thousand years I\'ve been able to see things more clearly in the Material World. I\'m sorry I can\'t be of much help. I do possess some ancient knowledge though, perhaps try asking and I can answer however I can?"
"T-Then…!" Suddenly Brisingra stepped in. "Do you know about the Overseers of Time?!"
"…I fear the Overseers of time were created in Ancient Times, more Ancient than my own birth." The Verdant Lady spoke. "I know the most basic things about them, and none of their members ever interacted with me or one of my druids, sadly."
"Aw…" Brisingra sighed. "I-it\'s fine, don\'t worry."
It seems that although she was very powerful, the Verdant Lady was a rather young Deity, considering she has only been conscious for the last five thousand years.
She\'s a young "new generation" Goddess, as I\'ll call these young Gods of Arcadia now. She has potential but lacks the wisdom and knowledge of the Ancient Gods.
"I am sorry that I can\'t be of help in regards of information, although I have ascended to this level, I do have many restrictions on Arcadia. And since my natural connection with the last Yggdrasil Tree broke, I have almost zero authority over anything there…" She apologized. "Planta, this is why, I would like to create a connection with your True Body back in the Forest of Beginnings. I know you came here to join the Verdant Society, so it would be ideal."
"I see…" I nodded, thinking about it. "Once this connection is made, will you help us out?"
"I-Insolent! Are you asking our Lady to get herself involved on your quarrels against the monsters roaming the Material World?!" Augustus erupted in anger.
"Of course I will." Lady verdant nodded, to his great surprise. "It has been my intention since the beginning, actually! In the past, even when I had yet to develop a consciousness of my own, I helped the first Yggdrasil Tree to flourish by giving it my essence, which helped the Yggdragon, who had become the Yggdrasil after growing weaker and deciding to clean the world from the contamination left by the Demon kings, to grow and flourish to the glory it once achieved. In a way, Queen Titania and the many Fairy and Spirit Races in that forest all derive from the Fey Wilds, species we designed to be able to survive and thrive in the Material World, my aim was to continue helping the world grow vegetation and clean the miasma and contamination."
"S-So you\'re really mother of Titania and her?" I pointed at the Great Spirit.
"Oh, the children that left the nest…" Smiled the Verdant Lady. "Indeed, she\'s one of my oldest children aside from Titania. I only raised her slightly, back then I possessed little consciousness of my own, but had an instinct that asked me to help the Gods. Lady Gaia took her on, and she slowly helped her become one of her strongest representatives in the Material World, the Great Spirit of Harvest and Nature, Gardenia."
lightsΝοvel "G-Gardenia! That\'s my name?!" The Great Spirit never knew her name until now, or more like she didn\'t remember it.
"That\'s right." The Verdant Lady smiled. "You\'ve grown a lot, however, you seem much weaker than before… I suppose whatever happened in Arcadia, you\'ve been through quite a lot."
"I have blurry memories about it, but I think I was defeated in the War against the Demon King, I don\'t know which one though, and before I were to die, Lady Gaia sealed me in the earth, until I could recover naturally and find a vessel that would help me grow stronger and that, in return, I would nurture as Lady Gaia\'s new Saintess." The Great Spirit said.
"Wait, I am Gaia\'s Saintess?!" I asked.
"Well, yes, you are." Gardenia nodded. "Don\'t tell me… Did I never tell you that?!"
"Ugh, yeah! You never did, you little dummy!" I sighed, crossing my arms.
"Hahaha, my bad!" She laughed out loud. "Anyways, it\'s nice to know my name now!"
"I\'m happy you\'re back, my dear Gardenia. I am sorry for being unable to help you before…" Lady Verdant apologized to her. "I have not been a good mother at all…"
"I-it\'s fine, don\'t sweat the details." The Great Spirit was as carefree as always. "My memories are still very fuzzy, but it\'s nice to know my mother here is alright too. We don\'t really have any memories together, but let\'s make some while we are at it."
"O-Of course!" Lady verdant suddenly got much happier. "I will pamper you, and love you, and spoil you for all these years I could not!" She quickly hugged her tightly.
"Ugh, that sounds nice- Agh, but do you have to squeeze me so hard?! Help me, Planta!" Gardenia cried.
"Hehehe, I\'m happy for you, Gardenia!" I only smiled back at her, as if enjoying her suffering.
Lady Verdant was a pampering mother, so she\'ll have a lot to worry about from now on…
"But now that we got a few things said and done." I commented. "I think we should make the connection, Lady Verdant. However, I have another question… Do you know about what\'s going on in the Luminous Kingdom?"
