Likas took Lyrica and Erika to the center of the Forest of No Return. The Guardian Snake stopped right in front of a mob of treants.
"Woah, they look pretty similar to the early game monsters in that game!" Erika remarked as she scanned through the area in awe.
"What are we doing here?" Lyrica asked the Guardian Snake after getting Erika and herself off of Likas's head.
Likas hissed at the treants, and the tree monsters began approaching Lyrica and Erika.
"W-W-Why are they approaching us?!" Erika reflexively took a step back, but the treants only continued to approach her.
Lyrica held her sister from her back, preventing Erika from moving further back.
"It's fine," Lyrica assured the girl.
Right then, one of the treants in front of Erika began moving one of its branches, trying to reach for its crown.
Following the sound of the branch creaking with every slight movement, the sound of fruit being plucked resonated.
Pop!
"Ah!"
