,m Freya came out of the energy disorder looking completely different, her skin turned black, her hair turned silver and her eyes golden.
On Freya’s forehead, there was a diamond-shaped crystal (◇) with a golden seed inside, there were also tattoos that looked like thin roots using the forehead as the center and spread down the body and going to all the limbs of the body, these tattoos were of green color being made of fine lines on its body.
Freya’s presence was very different from before, looking at her somehow made the image of an ancient forest come to my mind, Freya’s presence was so calming and natural.
An Aura that I recognize very well comes out of Freya’s body as if she always had that Aura, it was the Aura of Nature that I received when I received the trinity.
When Freya appeared I could feel her presence and her Aura gradually blending with the surroundings as if she were part of the environment where we are until I was not able to differentiate Freya’s presence from the nature around us.
At that moment the seed inside the diamond-shaped crystal on her forehead starts to sprout and becomes a small red crystal tree.
“A red tree, it looks like it’s more combat oriented than I imagined…” (Luth)
“I didn’t expect to have the opportunity to see an Ancient Elf in this lifetime…” (Luthien)
“You look beautiful Freya.” (Nix)
“Your presence is so attractive, am I the only one feeling like hugging her? It’s been so many years since I’ve felt this way, I thought I was too old for that, but it seems I was wrong.” (Sakura)
“Her presence is as comfortable as the master’s.” (Layla)
“Your presence blends in with the surroundings like the master.” (Orion)
“Her presence reminds me a little of my mother’s, that’s a little comforting to me.” (Ragnar)
“I didn’t expect the change to be so big…” (I)
I don’t know how much others noticed, but Freya’s changes are much more profound than it appears on the outside, her body is completely different, even the scent of her body resembles the scent of the forest, and her heartbeat seems to resonate with nature around us, its breath feels like the spring breeze.
Her presence has nothing similar to the previous one, in my eyes, she is a totally different person.
“How do you feel, Freya?” (I)
“…” (Freya)
Freya seems distracted, she keeps looking around as if she is seeing something magnificent for the first time, but when she hears my voice she looks at me as if remembering something and her eyes gain a glint of wisdom as if she has just woken up.
“Master?” (Freya)
“You look confused, are you okay?” (I)
Freya walks up to me innocently takes me in her arms and gives me a hug like it’s the most normal thing in the world leaving everyone who knows her shocked.
The Freya we know is someone disciplined, responsible, serious, and careful, she would never do that.
“What happened to her?” (I)
“She’s adapting to her connection to nature.” (Luth)
“Now she is using senses that she didn’t have before, she is seeing, feeling, and listening to her own nature in a deeper way than you can imagine, this kind of thing is not something that can be done quickly, of a few hours for her to get used to.” (Luth)
“Why is she hugging the master? Did she fall in love with him like Diana, Ibuki, érica, and Kira?” (Layla)
“I think she realized the depth of Zenos.” (Luthien)
“What do you mean by depth?” (Nix)
“You may not know it, but nature is not all about harmony.” (Luth)
“Nature can be considered the cruelest thing that ever existed, nature can bring creation, prosperity, devastation, transformation, evolution, and creation again.” (Luth)
“Nature is unpredictable, uncontrollable and impartial.” (Luth)
“People are easily deceived by the beauty of nature, but they don’t pay attention to what that beauty hides.” (Luth)
“I remember it took me a week to wake up from this trance, I went through that when I became an Elf Queen.” (Luthien)
“In Freya’s case it’s different, you felt these things through me, but Freya is feeling it for herself, so it will be faster, mainly because of Zenos’ presence.” (Luth)
“I’m sorry to interrupt, but you still haven’t explained about this depth that the master has.” (Nix)
“I would also like to know what you guys are talking about then.” (I)
“To put it simply, Freya can now sense chaos in Zenos just as Luthien and I can, this naturally draws her to him for being opposed to everything she has become while also completing her.” (Luth)
“Old Elves are beings of harmony with nature, but you are the opposite.” (Luth) 𝘰𝑣𝘭.𝗇𝓔t
“You are opposites, but at the same time you give meaning to her existence, in the same way, that chaos gives meaning to harmony, in the same way, that a catastrophe of nature can bring about transformation and creation.” (Luth)
“To her everyone here is the same, with the exception of me and Zenos, while I am something similar to her, you are the complete opposite of her, just as a curious child is attracted to something unknown, she was attracted to you.” (Luth)
“So I have to stay like this for a long time?” (I)
“Just until she wakes up.” (Luthien)
“…” (I)
———-
I had to endure it while Freya treated me like a toy, she hugs me, she strokes my head, she pinches my skin, she pulls my hair, she sniffs me, she even licks my face once.
On top of all that I can also feel her doing something similar with her Aura, her Aura spins around me while interacting in different ways with my Aura.
After more than three hours have passed, Freya wakes up and looks around until she understands what’s going on, then she turns to me and sees she’s biting my arm.
“…” (Freya)
She is immobilized for a few seconds like a statue, she turns red and lets go of my arm, after that she calmly puts me on the floor and then gets on her knees in front of me.
“Can the master explain to me what’s going on?” (Freya)
“(This is the first time I’ve seen Freya so embarrassed.)” (I)
After that we spent a few minutes explaining to her what happened, then the Elf Queen explained to her why she was attached to me during this time.
“How do you feel?” (I)
“I feel like I just woke up from a dream, I don’t really remember what was happening.” (Freya)
“All I know is that I felt like I was connected to something I couldn’t understand.” (Freya)
“I felt comfortable and peaceful, everything seemed to be the way it should be, but then I felt something different like everything was going downstream and there was something going downstream.” (Freya)
“I just felt like everything was in flux because of this one thing going against the flow, otherwise I wouldn’t have noticed the movement around me.” (Freya)
“I didn’t understand what it was or how it followed a different flow than the rest, but when I realized it felt like something made sense, then a desire to be closer to it welled up inside me, after that all I remember is feeling complete.” (Freya)
“The normal flow that I was feeling before started to change, the flow would sometimes get violent, sometimes change direction, sometimes it would be calm and sometimes it would explode and start all over again.” (Freya)
“That was you feeling the flow of nature for the first time.” (Luthien)
“I can still feel it, but it’s become more natural, the changes in the flow aren’t as fast as they used to be.” (Freya)
“I made these changes for you to understand what was happening faster, it helped to shorten your trance time.” (Luth)
“Thank you for your help.” (Freya)
“But you still haven’t said how you’re feeling now, do you feel any difference?” (I)
Freya looks at her hands as she opens and closes her hands, then she starts looking at her own body and notices that her maid outfit is full of rips and holes caused by the turbulent energy around her earlier.
But it wasn’t revealing much of her body, besides she didn’t have any wounds on her body, Freya isn’t someone who is embarrassed to be seen by others, so she didn’t really care about that, but she seemed to be worried about something else.
“What is it, Freya?” (I)
“Nothing, I just liked this outfit, but it looks like I’ll have to ask Tanya to make me another set.” (Freya)
“Forget about that stupid outfit, how do you feel now that you’ve changed Breed? Stop the suspense and talk crazy.” (Layla)
“I apologize for that, the truth is that I don’t feel very different physically, I’m a little surprised by the change in my appearance, but I don’t feel any different physically.” (Freya)
“What I feel differently is my senses that seem to have improved a lot, it also feels like I can understand things around me better, in addition, I feel an energy overflowing from my body.” (Freya)
“I’ll need some time to better understand these changes.” (Freya)
“I’ll help you in the next few days with that, so you’ll have better guidance to prepare for battle.” (Luthien)
“I thank you in advance for your tutoring.” (Freya)
“But she’s going to need your help later too, right?” (I)
“If possible, yes.” (Luthien)
“But I won’t force anything, the decision is still yours.” (Luthien)
“You’ve been helping me a lot since we arrived, so I don’t see any reason to refuse.” (I)
“I’m always willing to help the great Elf Queen with whatever she needs.” (Freya)
