บท 103: Ancient Willow (2)

The light that started from the tree branch got brighter and, after a bit, the old voice once again rang in my head.

[{ I'm but an old tree that has little time to live. }]

It filled his voice with grief and I can feel the deep emotions in his words from that small sentence.

The feeling differed from when I felt Celes's emotions.

This was deep, sorrowful, and more than anything, it contained happiness.

Maybe the happiness of finally seeing the end of something?

I wouldn't know that one but, I knew what was going on right now.

A capsule-like... or more of a chestnut-like fruit with a bright, shining golden color was floating before my eyes.

This diverged from when I received the golden tear from the deer, and this contained a lot more refined energy than arcane.

Looking at this made my whole body warm and somewhat raised my heartbeat.

This wasn't only excitement but also fear.

This fruit was dangerous if not handled correctly or by a strong enough person.
