[Olivia Coyett]: [Understood! Please, if you can, send me pictures, Elayne! I’ll pay you for each one! Pictures of such mythical planes or realms have never been shared before. There’s no technology capable of taking photos in them after all, even less manage to survive on their way back to Earth.]

[Elayne]: [Hmm, alright, I was going to do that anyway! Here’s one.]

[Photo]

[Olivia Coyett is writing…]

[Olivia Coyett]: [That’s incredible! {Surprised Sticker Emoji}. Is that the forest you’re in right now?! And that tree! And the spirits… your phone can take all of that?! Usually magical things, even more spirits… You usually cannot take photos of them! This is beyond amazing!]

[Elayne]: [Wow you got really happy… Well, I’m glad you like it. How much are you paying me for that one?]

[Olivia Coyett]: [Hmmm… How about 20k USD?]

[Elayne]: [I expected more… Aren’t all things in the Underworld super expensive?]

[Olivia Coyett]: [Yes, but this photo you have can be distributed and sold constantly, it isn’t an unique item only I can have, so its price lowers considerably! Nonetheless, you could easily squeeze a lot of money by selling it around. A lot of Magus Families would gladly buy them all from you.]

[Elayne]: [Huh, that still doesn’t make sense to me, but fine. I’ll take a lot of pictures for you, friend.]

[Olivia Coyett]: [Thank you, Elayne! Have a nice trip! We’ll be guarding your Domain while we are here! Kaguya is a very talkative and nice Dryad, I like her already.]

Well, I’m glad she’s fine over there…

But seriously, only twenty? I expected more, she must be trying to buy them from me at a cheaper price because I don’t know what prices they would even have originally.

Maybe I should try to sell one picture for a million and see if anybody buys it through the Underworld Auction App…

Oh yes, it’s there.

No, wait!

For now I shouldn’t really sell it, my enemies could find where we are and come after us.

Yes, I’ll better finish everything before I start selling pictures.

And even then, some places should be kept a secret too… public auctions aren’t good for that. I might only sell these pictures to trusted coworkers like Olivia.

“Elayne, are you alright?”

I heard Mark’s worried voice by my side, as we slowly advanced through the path that Katherine was leading us through.

“A-Ah! Yeah, yeah, I’m alright… I’ve been just chatting with Olivia. I reported to her what happened.” I said.

“Oh, with the phone, right, I should’ve thought about that…” Mark nodded.

He walked to my side and placed his arm around my shoulders.

“Are you feeling alright? Everything is fine?”

“Yeah, I mean… yeah.”

“Really?”

“Hmm, yes, mostly alright… A lot to think about, little time to relax though… So it all becomes a bit confusing. Sometimes overwhelming… But I’m getting used to that.”

“Ahh… Well, once we return back home let’s talk and then take a break.”

“Hmm, yeah… but we should also return to BNLO. I’m worried about everyone there. I think we’ve been absent for too long.”

“It hasn’t even been a week but you’re right, we still got somethings to do there… I just don’t want you to overexert yourself.”

“Alright, I won’t, don’t worry… but even then, the Demon King of Death… we still have to beat him down.”

“Yeah, and the plan you have… Of gathering the players using that arena competition that’s coming… do you think that would really work?”

“I mean, we have to try, right? And hope for the best…”

“I’ll help as much as I can, I’m just saying… if you don’t take a long break, you’re going to… well, break… We’ve gone through a lot of stress lately; I don’t want you to go through even more.”

“…I know, I’m really tired, yeah. But there’s no time to take breaks. Maybe once he’s done, we’ll be able to rest for some time… I know you worry a lot about me, thank you. As long as everyone here is with me, I think I’ll be alright.”

“Hmm… Okay. But if you ever feel tired, just tell me.”

“Sure, sure…”

He was such a worrywart… but I suppose that’s also his charm in a way~

“Soooo when are we getting there?” Rita wondered. “Is the place too big? We’ll have to walk for kilometers? Might as well fly, right?”

“I wouldn’t recommend you fly…” Katherine said. “There are dangerous, flying creatures.”

“What? We can take care of them easily either way!” Rita said.

“Yes, maybe but they would be just as tiring and troublesome as the Nightmareborns,” explained Katherine.

“I saw them too! They’re everywhere! Better stay down to the earth for now, yep!” Gabriel nodded.

“What? What’s in the sky?” Lily wondered, looking up. “It looks clean to me…”

“I would like to see as well…” I said. “I don’t know what you’re talking about…”

“Ah well, okay,” Katherine nodded. “Come, master.”

The fairy quickly guided us to a tree, and we slowly, stealthily climbed it to the top.

Then, while hidden beneath the pink colored canopy, we looked into the skies.

BBZZZTTT…

In the distance, the sound of bug wings buzzing around echoed everywhere.

And yes, there were giant bugs!

The Dream Tree wasn’t the only one that was huge, there were a few others that were enormous, but not as big.

Each one of them, roughly… I think more than six had giant bee nests on them.

These bees were adorable, pink and fluffy, with black lines, but they also looked enormous and there were thousands of them!

I checked the bees with the camera of my phone, taking a photo of them and then, like some sort of Pokedex, information appeared.
