A Flustered Eartha

Eartha's thoughts were like a kite with a broken string, drifting aimlessly for a moment.

She found it hard to accept and felt an emptiness inside her.

It was akin to dreaming of Santa Claus bringing her the gift she had longed for during Christmas, only for the gift to vanish upon waking.

Around her, the teams of awakeners from the Moonlight City Awakener Guild were all excited to see the other world portal disappear.

"Wow! Look, the other world portal has closed!"

"It must be Lord Plague Doctor's doing. As expected of an S-class awakener, truly amazing."

"This is great. With the portal closed, those dead giant Treants can't come back to life."

"But how did he manage to face so many giant Treants on his own?"

"Stop wondering. We can't fathom the methods of someone like him."
