The Forest

Gaia was slightly surprised to see the unexpected guest. It was rare for anyone to visit her without prior warning and even rarer for anyone to join her in her secluded domain. The Great Goddess was curious as to what one of her children wanted. Tanya was known to be one of her most powerful and independent children. Gaia had only seen her a handful of times ever since her creation. 

Still, she welcomed the Dryad Queen and listened carefully to her request. Imagine Gaia's second surprise of the day when Tanya brought up Zero's name. Being friends with Baal was possibly the work of fate. The Demon Lord of Laziness was a divine fragment after all. However, Gaia didn't know how Zero became acquainted with the Queen of the Natural Plane. Still, it was probably a good thing. They could never have too many people looking out for Zero after all. The young doctor was a powerful trouble-seeking magnet.
