Early morning.
The golden sun slowly rose from the east, illuminating the entire forest with its resplendent light.
Natural Saintess Alice finished her morning prayers, changed into the Holy Daughter's dress she wore for the ceremonial rituals, and came outside the temple.
Oak Guardian Berserker had been waiting here for quite some time, and he seemed to be in a particularly good mood today, his large eyes bright and lively, standing to the side humming a peculiar song... one that he had learned from the Chosen Ones.
Alice saw the Oak Guardian, her emerald eyes carried a hint of a smile:
"Good morning, Sir Berserker."
She pinched the corner of her priestly skirt, slightly bowed to Berserker, and then drew the symbol of Mother Nature on her chest:
"May nature be with you."
Berserker also bowed to the girl, his deep voice carrying a touch of gentleness:
"Good morning, Holy Daughter, may nature be with you too!"
