Once they had all departed from my slights, I began to stroll towards the location of the new castle, and as I descended down the hill, the night trees that I passed by all transformed their leaves white to golden, but the spider lily on the ground stayed the same, genially swinging with the breeze.

I hadn\'t granted the elves permission to collect any of the night tree sap because I didn\'t want them to have so much of it that it could nearly cure everything with a single drop.

I want to keep it as a treasure and not distribute it as if it were tea speaking of tea, I had given them permission to pick the leaves that fell from the trees to make tea there were some more night trees around the inner forest, but they were not as pure as the ones here on the guardian hill as they called it now the trees around the inner forest had green leaves mixed in between, making them a lower bread than the night trees.

Now that I think about it, I\'ve been calling this location the inner forest for quite some time. What was the name they gave it again? Nova, the capital of Lialynn.

No matter how many times I look at it, it\'s still mad sus,

However, I should simply call it inner forest or capital it\'s strange to call it by my own name.

When I was thinking this, I arrived near the area where the castle was being constructed, and as I looked at the basement that was about to be done, I started to realise that they would build the other levels from now on, and it would begin to seem like a true castle.

There were elves moving about, carrying bricks from one location to another Ena would be overjoyed to see it when it was finished, I thought as I watched them work.

After staring at them for a while, I turned around and began walking towards the city or should I say capital, as I did so, I looked at the people who lived there, all different species that were living together, there were signs of slight discrimination between them but the small children didn\'t seem to have that same line of thought as they were clearly happy to make new friends, there were faeries that were playing with the children and roaming around.

They were simply like children, not discriminating between different species or sub-species to them, they were just a somewhat larger fairy.

The dryads and whatever the other tree species were named kept their distance from each other, but they didn\'t appear to want to cause problems for anybody.

As I approached the point where the city began, I noticed guards patrolling the area to ensure that no one entered the guardian hill. I quietly slipped past the guards and then entered the city, and as soon as I did, I noticed that there were a lot more stalls in the area, selling various things such as meat, leather, weapons that were now made of mental rather than the wooden weapons that they used in the past. There were other clothing stores that sold robes. They had various colons, but they all appeared ancient to me since they had no style and were simply cloths with color that you could use to cover oneself up, similar to the cloths that the nuns of the church in the tales wore, white robes with no pattern.

Should I introduce modern clothing onto this society? I considered it, but I didn\'t want to become any more involved with them than I already was, and even if I didn\'t introduce any new clothes, Zeno\'s newborn would do it in my place.

While I reflected on this, I strolled farther into the city, passing by restorers, smithies, and even an empty space where people watched each other fight for fun anybody was allowed to fight as long as they passed the age restrictions.

They were sipping some type of fruit wine, or was it alcohol? I didn\'t know, but when they were intoxicated, there was no discrimination between them, even though they were from entirely different species they behaved as if they were old friends, and some even acted as brothers.

It\'s true that if you drink with someone, you grow closer to them, as I observed a few fights that were going on, I noticed several promising kids battling one other, and after watching them fight for a bit, I strolled on to other sections of the capital.

When I was doing this, I saw numerous things, including a romance between a dryad and one of the tree people, a forbidden love huh? Such a hoot. I ignored them and went ahead, I as I walked and thought about things I noticed something. No, I\'ve always known this, which is why I don\'t want to associate with mortals.

The reason why I didn\'t want anyone to get close to me,

That was so I wouldn\'t have to grow close to anybody who would abandon me, since it would be too painful to cope with the pain of losing people you love and care about. That was the reason, when did I become such a coward? I thought to myself as I watched the kids playing tag.

losing a significant person, huh? I thought as some faces from my past life flashed through my mind, \'Sara,\' I muttered to myself, as I continued walking through the city, as I did so I reached the outskirts of the capital, where there were still many people, but they didn\'t live in trees like everyone else did in the inner area of the capitals, they lived in huts made of wood, they looked like wooden cabins that the rich people bought back on the earth. Nonetheless, everyone who was in a wooden cabin was destitute, or at the very least, they were by the standards set by the folks who were stranded in the middle.

Even still, it would appear that everyone is living here in very sufficient comfort Zeno is obviously doing a fantastic job of running this place.

As I looked around at the many types of individuals who were there, I thought to myself, \'I should reword him in some way, maybe a gift would be appropriate.\'

I started to walk towards the barrier that I had created a few days ago, or was it weeks I couldn\'t really remember, was this the fate of the immortal\'s that we can\'t even tell how much time has passed, for me its been just a few hours however I know that it has been more than one week at the very least. It is time that I go out I guess, I thought as I started to walk towards the barrier that I had created a few days ago, or was it weeks I couldn\'t remember nor did I want to.

I soon arrived at the barrier that I had created, and I was able to pass through it without any difficulty. As I did so, I was able to distinguish between the amount of mana that was contained within the barrier and that which was located outside of it. The amount of mana that was contained within the barrier was significantly greater, whereas the amount of mana that was located outside of the barrier was significantly lower. This was because all of the mana was being sucked inside of the barrier in order to keep it intact. Also, it has the potential to assist people in developing their mana cores in their babies.

I walked through the jungle, which had begun to change its appearance the tall trees that had resembled skyscrapers appeared to be ordinary trees the ground, which had been brown soil, had turned a rad colour in colour there were many dead animals, around which had some kind of mutations on their bodies for , some of the animals had extra eyes, ears, teeth, mouth, tongue, or limbs

They were a pitiful sight to behold since every single one of them had some kind of abnormality that they weren\'t supposed to have, and all of this was a result of the energy that had made its way into their bodies in some way.

Was it because of the smiles, did they manage to share that energy with each other in some way, or was it somebody else? I thought

Not long after that, I was able to locate the location that I had been seeking for—the spot where I had recently died. When I turned to look at the barrier that was in front of me, I saw that it was still in place.

Taking down the barrier\'s defences In the vicinity of my recent death, I took a walk.

There were burn marks on the ground, and a body was lying off to the side. The corpse was encased in holes, and there was dried blood all around it on the ground. The body wasn\'t rotten, as I had anticipated it would be rather, it appeared to have been killed just a moment ago, and the only thing that distinguished it from other bodies was the dried blood.

Author\'s note: i am still editing few chapters, they will be out later,

and someone please tell me the name of the tree species that i had mentioned before, i can\'t find their name in my notes.
