Opening my eyes I look up to a sight that I'd describe as..unusual?I saw myself in a large flower but that wasn't what I was shocked about, I was staring at the sight of millions of flowers small and big all around me.
'Why are there so many..'
you might wonder why I'm so surprised seeing the number of plants as I just came from a place with millions, dare I say billions of these lifeforms.
Well, this world is known as Asblik. or more specifically, the gods' trash can.
Now don't get me wrong, this world is gorgeous! it's just that unlike some would expect if such a hated place it's not as destruction-ridden as one would think. The place has all kinds of exotic beings and things.
Okay, let me give you an example. Imagine you had an idea that looked amazing in your head but as soon as it came to be you looked back at it and threw that idea right in the trash.
Well, that's basically what this place is meant to be.
'Is that a fae..?'
I shook my head and got up from my spot in the large flower.
mother said to find a large tree in a forest. I'm not sure if it's this forest but it wouldn't hurt to look.
Almost immediately I'm struck by the smell of cooked meat
It smells delicious and I end up heading in that direction, before stopping myself.
'What am I doing? I have a mission to complete!'
I walk around a bit to think of my next action, and then, I sit down on a patch of grass
Finding the source of spiritual energy isn't difficult for me, after the thousands of years I spent with my mother in the spirit realm I learned how to link each source to one being or object.
Oh? Are you curious about what I meant by thousands of years?
Well, right now my body is twenty years old. But my soul is centuries old by now. While in the spirit realm, my body was in a coma that I believe lasted eight months.
Anyway, I managed to find the strongest source of energy but I am unsure if it is the tree I am looking for or a being with that much power.
Then again, why would such a tree have this much power? No. It's not the world tree, but it is a tree that holds the souls of the deceased inhabitants of this world.
So it can be called the Soul Tree. But instead, it's called the triste van siele, or home of souls.
In the Divine Archives, I found a book relating to a legend in this world.

["They will fall, and they will rise, may victory be won, and chaos' shackles come undone. She will return and she will burn, this time is the last. You must forget the past."]
It was a creepy tale yet it is the very reason I'm here. So basically the Gods had some big meeting that discussed Abslik and Fate said that the Legend, Prophecy, or whatever was going to come true.
So they decided to send someone to investigate and possibly stop this 'She' in the prophecy. Instead of just sending one person though, they decided to send their children and Saints/Saintesses
I am one of the people as you might have guessed. I don't have to work with the others but I have to at least maintain a friendly or acquaintance-like relationship with them.
Right now I'm heading towards the large energy source. I'm assuming I found it if the large and long roots all around me are anything to go by.
Standing in front of the tree I see what looks to be a door..?
Just to be careful, I readied a small spark of fire in my hands. I was shocked for a second as my magic seemed to grow a bit stronger.
As I opened the door, I saw nothing but a note on a table in the far corner of the room.
It read;
"Hi, sweetie! It's your mom, This soul-holding tree is where you will reside in this world! It's like a quaint little home but with dozens of rooms. You might wonder where the souls are but I can assure you they are alright. They reside in the lowest level of the tree, the roots. Please be careful during your time here and remember Mom loves you!"
..So I'm living in a tree.
Sweet.
I sighed internally and began to look around as the letter burnt up in my hand. A small precaution, any evidence of communication from a divine power is extremely dangerous in the hands of mortals.
The tree house isn't bad, it's actually really nice. There's a really big bed in my room and the kitchen is spacious, and don't get me started on the bathroom, that tub was huge!
It's like a jacuzzi. There was a large closet in the bedroom, and loads of clothes were already hung up and folded all in my size too!
Everything was in varying shades of my favorite colors, but everything was mostly green, pink, or light yellow.
I sat down on the large bed after showering and changing into sleepwear.
Combing through my hair I looked at my appearance in the vanity mirror, My appearance didn't change as much from what it was in Gaia, but there were some differences. For one my nails have changed from their original pale pink to a dark sage green, as did the tips of my fingers. My eyes shine a brighter emerald than before and my skin has become a more purplish-pink hue.
I braided my long hair into two tight braids. And climbed onto the bed, and as I cuddled the soft bear plush, all I could think of was what would happen next. I soon began to fall asleep.
There is no doubt tomorrow will be difficult, but this is what I signed up for, isn't it? I can't back down now.
