Queen Titania was bedridden and looked way worse than I remember her. I suppose that the curse has been affecting her for a long time, but to think it can weaken even beings as strong as her… Hasn't she lived for thousands of years maybe?
"My Queen please keep resting, it is unnecessary to call us merely to thank us…" Nieve said.
"Nieve, you did a good job too." Titania said with a warming smile. "Despite being a young fairy, you've worked harder than anybody in the knight's guard, your effort and talent are things I cannot simply ignore… you've given up your all to protect the gates, well done." The Queen began to caress Nieve's head, as the girl began to blush a bit.
"I-It is nothing, please don't mind it…" She sighed while blushing a bit.
"Nonetheless, Planta, thank you. Without you, I don't know what we would had been able to do. Now the Barrier is very damaged and we'll need to somehow repair it, but this disease is draining all my power and life… This curse or disease was most likely spread out by the Snake Queen… Hah… I always thought of myself as almost untouchable, but when I was affected, I began to realize how frail I truly am." The Queen sighed.
"Don't worry about it, a friend of us is making some potions!" I said with a nod.
"P-Potions? We have tried everything possible, there's no way that would be so easily. I don't want to doubt your friends but-"
"No, he will do it!" I said while nodding. "Acorn even healed his own tribe from the Miasmic Disease."
"Miasmic Disease?! I thought that was uncurable as well… S-So there was a cure?" Asked the Queen. "Perhaps… this little squirrel might be the one. Oh right… I also apologize for having been rude to you before, I was also rather skeptical after what that mischievous dwarf did to us."
"Don't worry, please, it is in the past." I said.
"And… who might these be? Your friends as well?" Titania asked curiously.
"I-I am Achlys, a Dark Elf… Good friend of Planta. Err, the Goddess Nyx sent me here." Said Achlys.
"And I am Titan, an Ent from the small Ent Forest. The Ent Patriarch sent me here with the mission of help this forest and Planta in her journey." Said Titan.
The two came out with good backgrounds. Though I don't know if his whole purpose is to help me, as Titan said…
"I see! You came to rescue her in the middle of everything?" Wondered Titania. The Mushrooms weren't here as I left them with Acorn.
"Y-Yeah…" I sighed. "Sorry if that was disrespectful, but we had to run."
"I understand." She said. "You have good companions. A Dark Elf and a Ent, it has been ages since I've seen both of you since the Rehashing…" She sighed.
"Excuse me, but what's the Rehashing thing you talk so much about so openly?" Asked Achlys.
"Ah, I suppose Players don't know about this, as you came after it." Said Titania. "I myself am very uninformed as well. The knowledge I possess about this event is slim. However, I know that it happened long, long ago, when the Demon King of the End… destroyed our world."
"E-Ehhh?!" I cried in surprise. "D-Destroyed?!"
"And- Ah." Queen Titania suddenly stopped speaking. "It seems… the world does not allow me to speak further."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Asked Achlys.
"The knowledge that Players are allowed to know… Is limited. I believe that when you grow stronger and discover more of the truth by yourself, it might be possible for me to tell you more." Sighed Titania. "I am very sorry."
