Hours have pass but there is still no sign of Daya waking up, but the good thing is she is breathing and everything is stable, her soul is reacting well with her new body all I need to wait for her to wake up to confirm that everything is well and fine. While waiting for her to wake up, I invited Evienne to go out with me and have a meal with me. I plan to go to this restaurant that is very famous now and see if the restaurant lives up to its hype.
"Maybe, you want to change into much more common attire Evienne to not get much attention or you are okay with what you are wearing now?"-Demetri.
"I am very fond of what I am wearing, it's very elegant, is something wrong with it?"-Evienne.
"No, no, nothing is wrong with, you are very beautiful in it, and if you really want to wear it, it's fine, just a warning, you'll really get a lot of attention"-Demetri.
"Because of just what I am wearing?"-Evienne
"Yes, because it not very common in today's standard and because of your beauty, in this world standards, you are a goddess"-Demetri.
"But I am a goddess"-Evienne
"Yes, you are a goddess technically but goddess also has a different meaning you know, like beautiful, elegant, breathtaking, why don't I change what I am wearing to match you?"-Demetri.
"I am sure you will be as much as beautiful as I am"-Evienne.
"I don't think so, but thank you"-Demetri.
I change my attire into something that looks like Evienne, but I change the lower cloth into a pants. Just like I predicted, Evienne attracts so much attention, we even stop a dozen of times because people want to take pictures with Evienne and sometimes, I included.
When we arrive in the restaurant, the staff taught we are royals at first, then performers when we said we are not royals but we said we are not but normal costumers. They sit us on one of the two table seats in the middle. Evienne told me that I order for her because she doesn't know anything about this world's food anyway.
"What kind of food did you like in the other world?"-Demetri.
"I love those cold food they serve like ice but with weird flavor, and meat, any meat"-Evienne.
I called for the waitress and tell her our orders, pointing in the menu. While waiting for our meal, a lot of people in the restaurant compliment Evienne and ask if they can take a photo of her, with her and sometimes including me. When our meal arrives, I ask the crowd if they can go because we are about to start our meal.
"The flavors of this worlds are outstanding, very rich and flavorful, very different from our world"-Evienne.
"It is, they have a lot of spices in this world, unlike in our world, or maybe we are so focused on enhancing our magic and talents that we did not discover a lot about our worlds spices"-Demetri.
We are in the middle of our meal when I notice someone walking toward our table. Getting a closer look, it's one of the S-class hunters, if I'm not wrong his name, is Matthew.
"Mr. Li---Demetri, hi, it's nice to see you"-Matthew.
"It's nice to see you too Matthew, what are you doing here? Are you here to try out the food too?"-Demetri.
"Yes, and to meet with the Chairman, I have to talk to him about something that is happening in my village, since you are also here, you can join us, it is very weird"-Matthew.
"Is it something concerning? A dungeon or portal? An attack?"-Demetri.
"It's not like that, it's not doing any bad, its more on good actually, I'll tell the details later, I'll order us a private booth so we can talk freely, excuse me"-Matthew.
Evienne and I already finish eating when I receive the text from Matthew about the booth. When we arrive at the booth, Matthew is already waiting there and nor for long, Chairman and the seers arrive.
"Chairman"-Matthew
"Matthew, Demetri and Ms. Evienne, I didn't expect for you two to be here also"-Chairman David.
I look at Chairman David and signaled him to sit at the vacant seat beside Evienne that I purposefully reserve for him, he gets fluster but still sit beside her. It is obvious that he is attracted to Evienne.
"They were already at the restaurant when I arrive, I invited them to join us because they might know about the tree, let's talk about this while having a meal"-Matthew.
Matthew presses the button to call for the staff and the staff came and take their orders.
"I think I know about the tree that this man was talking about"-Evienne
Evienne said to me telepathically.
"What is it?"-Demetri.
Before she can answer me, the waiter arrives.
"We already ate but do you like anything else Evienne?"-Demetri.
"Maybe another serving of the soft cold thing you order me earlier"-Evienne
"You mean ice cream, okay let's order you one"-Demetri.
While waiting for their food, we started talking about the tree.
"So what about the tree you want to talk about Matthew, are you and your village in danger?"-Chairman David
"We are not Chairman, it's the opposite actually, it's doing good, the crops are much healthier, everything is healthier, my village just wants to know what is it because it is very different from any tree we know, it might now be from around here really"-Matthew.
"It is a Yggdrasil"-Evienne.
Evienne said, answering the curiosity of everyone in the room. I did not expect this, I didn't even imagine that the Yggdrasil will grow in this world. This a big and great news for everyone. Looking at Evienne's face, having a spoonful of ice cream, she definitely knows something about it.
Everyone in the room is looking at Evienne now because of the information she just spills out. When she notices, she composes herself and give out more information, but before she can do that, the waitress that Matthew ring earlier because they are ready to pay, came. They pay for the meal first before we continue the conversation.
"Let's have this conversation in another place"-Evienne.
Evienne snaps her fingers and were teleported at my house, specifically in the garden. I set up table and chairs the other day for Evienne because she likes staying in the garden. We sat around the table and get comfortable.
"You were saying Evienne"-Demetri.
"Everyone here knows my true form, except this young man here, when you summoned me Demetri, before I appear in the pillar, I first flew around the area near you and drop a seed, it is what I always do since the moment that Visyries created me, the seed will fly with the wind until it found the perfect place to grow and prosper, and it looks like it chooses your village young man"-Evienne
"Will the tree ask for something or an exchange for the good it brings?"-Matthew.
"None, the Yggdrasil is like any tree, it gives and bears something to help its surrounding to prosper, but Yggdrasil is also a living tree, it is aware of what is happening around it and will attack if it knows it is in danger or it's keeper is, so take care of the Yggdrasil young man"-Evienne.
"Yes, I will, my village will take care of it, it gave us too much even without us doing anything"-Demetri.
"Thank you, "-Evienne.
"We will come and visit the Yggdrasil within this week, we will give you a heads up when we will go"-Demetri.
"Okay"-Matthew
While they were talking about the Yggdrasil more, I excuse myself and prepare some tea for us. When I come back, they were not in the place I left them but in the summoning pillar. I place the tea on the table and walk towards where they are. Evienne approaches me when she sees me and tells me that she was the one who insist that they to do the summoning ritual, especially for Matthew because since the Yggdrasil choose his village to be the caretakers, he has a high chance of summoning the high-level familiar, Treeks, the plant folks.
"I insist for them to do the summoning ritual, especially for Matthew since he and his village was chosen by the tree to be its caretakers, he has a high chance of summoning high-level familiar, the Treeks"-Evienne
"You mean the plant folks?"-Demetri.
"Yes"-Evienne
"I have only seen one, the caretaker of the last Yggdrasil in the other world, I ask for a seed so I can plant it in my garden, all I can say it was a very long conversation on how slow they speak"-Demetri.
"You have your own Yggdrasil?"-Evienne.
"Before yes, but my garden might be destroyed already just like the other world, my access to it was still missing"-Demetri.
Evienne asks me to help Matthew with the summoning. I told Matthew what to do and the others so that they will know what to do when it's their turn to the summoning. Evienne transforms herself to her true form when it's time for her to. She glowed blindly bright just like the first time and not for long, the egg appeared. I told Matthew to place the egg on the fire so that it will hatch quickly.
After Matthew, it was Chairman's David turn then the seer twins. While waiting for familiar eggs to hatch, we eat the tea and snacks that I prepared earlier. The tea was not hot anymore so Evienne did her thing and heat the tea. Matthew and the seers ask me about a lot of things they are curious about, I answer mostly while the other questions I answered not completely, just giving them answers that is enough to satisfy them, because it's not time. Evienne and Chairman have a separate conversation, and looking at them they are having a good time with each other's company.
The familiar eggs finally hatched and go to their owners. Matthew summoned four Treeks in total, and Evienne was impressed because some only summoned one to two Treeks. Chairman David summoned the Alpha Owlbear, a wise and brave familiar that only answers to the summoning call of a true leader, truly reflecting what kind of person Chairman David is. And the twin seers summoned the twin crows. Crows can show someone's future if they're summoner allows them too and manipulate light and darkness.
The Treeks started conversing with Matthew, and you can tell by his face that he doesn't understand their words. Evienne walks towards them and started speaking their language and serves as a translator for Matthew. One of the Treeks picks a fruit from its head and offers it to Matthew.
"What am I supposed to do with that?"-Matthew.
"They are telling you to eat it so that you can converse with them, don't worry it's not going to do you any harm, and it's actually pretty tasty"-Evienne.
Matthew looked at my direction, looking for a confirmation and I just nodded as a confirmation. Matthew reach for the fruit and take a bite on it, he got dizzy and lost his balance, luckily, I am right behind him. It takes a few minutes for him to recover but after recovering he can already speak the language of the Treeks.
Evienne and I walk away from Matthew and the Ents to give them privacy and walk towards where Chairman David and the twin seers are.
"How are the familiars?"-Evienne.
"They are okay, just look like a little bit tired"-Ersie
"It's okay, they just needed time to recover"-Demetri.
I tell them what they need to know about the familiars just like what I told Stephan and Alice. Evienne also told them that naming their familiars can make their familiars much stronger than their current state, and a perfect name will make them more powerful. I have to tell this information to Alice and Stephan later.
