"Do you like them?"
Axis fluttered around his head while eyeing the Fallen World Branch. Shane was holding the largest branch, and she couldn't help but feel curious.
"You're not going to hit people with it, are you?"
Shane smiled after hearing the question. "Not unless they deserve it."

Time quickly passed as Shane already considered what to do with the things he had gotten.
Then, as the time to leave came close, a breeze rustled through the World Tree's branches…
It seemed quite normal at first, but soon, Shane was frozen as this breeze carried words.
"You will return."
It was not a question. It was a statement, and Shane knew that it came from the World Tree itself.
Shane couldn't help but glance at the tall tree at the center of the Fairy Realm... It seemed that this reward from the Fairy Queen had more secrets than he thought. The Tree's runes pulsed once, then stilled.
"Yeah," he muttered. "I will."
