The War Of Gemstone: Owl & Flower
The Desire to Help

Terenna elbowed the man's stomach. “Hey, how about your story?”

“What story?”

“Where have you been all this time?”

Archie smiled. “The story is long and it just happened,” he said. “By the way, does Miss Terenna know how to cure diseases in plants? Probably more like a tree. Tree belonging to my friend looks sick.”

“Of course. I've researched plants a lot, but, Archie, not all plant diseases can be cured in the same way.”

Archie's speechless.

“What are the characteristics of the disease, are there any special symptoms such as self-burned leaves, or growing lumps on the stem, and what kind of plants?” Terenna opened her eyes. “What do-not new type?”

“Yes, the leaves are falling out, the skin is pale, and the flowing magic energy is reduced,” Archie said while recalling the characteristics of the sick tree.

Terenna glanced at a scroll whose tip was raised in the man's pocket. “What is it?” Show the woman.

The resigned Archie, pulled the scroll and showed it to Terenna. “This parchment about Silver Tree.”

“Silver Tree?” The woman was surprised. He took the parchment out of Archie's hands. “Oh, so your reason is here to make this medicine.”

Archie nodded. “As miss thinks.”

“This medicine is only useful for Silver Tree only. What kind of plant is it, until the Son of the Lanvinder Family thinks that this drug will work?”

“I don't know how to explain it,” Archie said.

“Then let me see for myself the plant. I also still have free time.” Terenna opened her sling bag containing many scrolls, potion bottles, tied dried grass, the bones of small animals and other strange objects. “See, I always carry preparations wherever I go.”

Archie laughed a little. “Nona Terenna is always full of preparation yes.”

“Of course. Otherwise, I wouldn't have become a Royal Witch.” Terenna put on her pointy hat again and got up. His bag swung from his lap to the side of his body. The woman patted her robe and skirt from the dust. “Quickly, show the way, if the duration of the disease will get worse. You don't want your friend to continue to grieve because the plants are dead?” he said with passion. His experience with various plants, makes him confident to help his students.

A hope arises. With the help of Terenna the Royal Witch, the Magic Tree could definitely be cured. Archie followed the woman. “Actually my friend doesn't seem to like outsiders very much. But if it will make her happy, then I gladly accept miss.”'s help The man bowed in front of the Royal Witch.

“Your friend must be proud of you.”

“But before that, I have to tell Miss Terenna first.” Archie looked into Terenna's eyes seriously.

Archie then explained behind all this according to what he understood, which centered on the Owl Forest. The reason for leaving the city, and looking for answers in the forest of the legend. His encounter with the blue-eyed girl and the burden that the girl who was the daughter of the Great Witch, as well as the answers of all the mysteriousness of the people who lost her memory and a Magic Tree. But some of the stories have unfilled holes, there are still secrets from the girl buried deep and Archie left them, because there are secrets that no one should know.

As one who had the ambition to defeat Saulmandria and break the secret of the forest, the woman was silent when the answer came to her. His mind was trying to digest all the information spoken from Archie's mouth. “So so.” The woman grinned. “After you tell me everything, I'm looking forward to meeting the girl who scared Mr. Saulmandria.” Terenna lifted her flower basket on her side.

“Do not do anything strange and talk about research. And also, please, don't tell anyone including the king,” said Archie sincerely pleading with the witch.

“Just calm down, I will hold back, after all there is a task I have to complete.”

They then arrived in front of a dark and gloomy forest. A gust of cold wind passed through the intricacies of the trees and caressed the faces of Archie and Terenna.

“I've never been this close to the Owl Forest,” said Terenna, looking at the trees from outside. “Indeed the flow of magic in this forest does not look okay. But, the flow of magic refused to me to feel deeper, like living and obeying only one person.”

“Alright, Miss Terenna wait here first, I'll talk to her, can be critical if she is angry,” Archie said.

Terenna smiled and nodded.

In front of a brown fence composed of neatly cut oak and taper edges, Faye stood in front of a plant splinter whose trunk was tightly wrapped between the fences. Amongst the darkness, the girl's eyes shone brightly like diamonds, her flickering like a blue star that glowed in the night sky. Complete with her ghost bird robe, the girl plucked a medium-sized Moon Flower that was clenching. In his left hand, it held tightly onto a number of Moon Flowers that had already been picked.

“Faye,” call Archie, stand five steps away from the girl.

“Have returned?” The girl turned her body to face Archie. “Sorry about before. It's the first time I can't solve my problem, that's why I'm angry.”

Archie smiled knot. “What's wrong, I'm also sorry for forcing you.” Archie looked around. “By the way, where's Rynn?”

Faye threw a glance inside the house. “She's inside, is preparing bowl and water for medicine.”

The man rubbed the back of his head. “About that..” Her gaze switched, avoiding Faye's gaze. “There's something I have to tell you.”

“Didn't you get the sunflower?”

“Not, if that's what I've found.”

“Then?”

Archie took a deep breath. “Sorry, you're right, we better not make this medicine.”

Faye frowned. “What do you mean? Wasn't it you who was excited to make the cure despite knowing it wouldn't work.” The girl sighed. “Take it easy, I won't be angry.  Anyway, this drug won't work. It's time to say goodbye to the Magic Tree.” Faye turned.

Some heads pop out from behind the kitchen window. Rynn's eyes scanned with a mischievous grin, without Faye and Archie noticing.

“Wait, I have one way, but maybe you don't like it.”

The girl's steps came to a halt, glancing at Archie through her shoulder.

“Miss Terenna, I mean we need to need help from outsiders. Miss Terenna is an expert in the field of plants, so she can definitely cure a magical tree disease. He is a great person and also a teacher I respect,” said Archie.

Faye. Archie's heart was pounding like it was facing death. A cold sweat dripped down the man's face, he had already prepared himself for punishment. Archie will do whatever Faye wants in order to bring the girl's smile back, including leaving this forest.

A smile that was completely unthinkable to the man, was depicted on Faye's face. “Alright, let him in.”

Confused Archie, asked, “You're not angry?”

“No, because I want to believe you.”
