After leaving the Domain, we landed back on the Druid Guild's interior with the rest of the Druids, which swiftly went on their own ways separately from us for the moment. Most of the used the Transformation Spell "Wild Shape" which allowed them to take on the form of animals to infiltrate easily.

They became mostly birds or rodents, and scattered around from the windows, unsuspected by anybody. Meanwhile, with Austucia and Johanna, I asked them if they could allow me to grow a special tree here.

"A Teleportation Tree?" Austucia was surprised. "Is there such a thing? I have never heard of any spell like that before! Is this something unique to Dryads?"

"It is part of the Abilities I have through my "Heart of the Forest"…" I explained. "I don't think anybody else possess it. In resume, it will allow us to go back to the Forest of Beginnings at any time, as long as I allow for it."

"I see!" Austucia was really excited. "Very well, come with me, the roof has a big garden I've been growing to pass my time."

"…Just how many abilities do you even have?" Johanna was unable to find enough words every time I introduced a new ability.

"If you'll be accompanying us in a few missions, well, you'll get used to it." Rita laughed rather graciously.

"Lady Planta is just that amazing!" Acorn said happily.

"Enough with over praising me, I haven't done anything to be praised so much…" I sighed. "I just happened to be in the right place and had the right abilities… Several times."

"That's not just coincidence…" Lily giggled.

"You're being too humble, my lady." Said Nieve. "Don't let the annoying Druid make you think your accomplishments and feats are lesser because she dislikes you or can't believe them. The only failure I see here is her own inability to mature as a person."

Nieve was as cold as you would expect from an Ice Fairy…

"W-What did you said?!" Johanna got very furious. "I-I will accomplish great things! E-Eventually!"

"It's fine, Johanna." Austucia giggled. "Be a good girl and open the door for your grandma."

"Y-Yes." Johanna nodded, opening the big door and presenting us a giant garden at the roof of the druid guild building.

It was rather beautiful although small, full of all sorts of flowers, herbs, and fruit trees, they all were spiritual plants too, none of them was a mere grass in here!

"This is where I grow a lot of my medicinal herbs and some poisonous ones too." Giggled Austucia. "Our Green Magica can only be properly used if we have the proper materials! However it seems it is different for Dryads or Treants, whose entire bodies are nature. You can easily grow plants, seeds, and wood for your Green Magic, us of other races need these materials to conjure them properly."

"I-I had no idea Green Magic was that complex." I was slightly surprised.

"Makes sense I guess; a human druid can't simply grow seeds or wood out of their own body so easily." Said Mark. "Though, I'm still thinking you can do it eventually, right?"

"Only the oldest of us who have cultivated a powerful Physique by absorbing Nature can to an extent, but not to the level you, Spirits of Nature, can do so." She explained. "Now, to the meat and potatoes of the whole thing, this space here should be enough for another tree."

"I see…" I nodded.

Kind of similar to our bodies back on Earth I suppose and yeah, we are more limited there than the limits of our Dryad and Treant bodies.

"Yeah, this space should be enough." I nodded, placing my hand on the empty dirt. "[Spiritual Checkpoint]!"

FLAAASH!

My power emerged out of my hand and surged inside the dirt, quickly manifesting into a giant tree growing upwards, glowing brightly with green and golden spiritual essence.

A large gate opened in the middle of the tree trunk, leading somewhere else…

Ding!

[You have created a [Spiritual Checkpoint] within the Druid Guild's Rooftop Garden!]

[You can now teleport back to the Forest of Beginnings from within this Checkpoint and invite anybody you want as long as they have your permission.]

It might be dangerous to leave a portal leading to our home here, but because it requires permission, I can easily make sure nobody sneaks inside.

"It's done!" I said with a nod. "Now, wanna come inside? I need to go look for a few friends to help me out in a couple of things. So it's going to be a short visit of a couple of minutes."

"T-The Forest of Beginnings! Can we go?!" Austucia asked.

"Can I?" Johanna's eyes were shining very brightly.

"Of course, let's go everyone is invited." I smiled.

We walked through the portal, quickly arriving at the Spiritual Checkpoint I had left inside of my small village. Many people of all races gathered around us the moment they saw us coming.

"Lady Planta is back!"

"Lady Planta and Lord Titan!"

"Nieve!"

"Acorn! Are you doing fine?"

We were swarmed by them, some interested in the Druids accompanying. Us, these two in particular were very surprised to see many Races not seen at all in the luminous kingdom or elsewhere.

"Lady Planta, I am happy to see you have come back." Sporegon, the Leader of the Mushroom Brigade, stepped in. "Are these some of your new friends?"

"Is this a Myconid?!" Austucia cried. "I thought they had gone extinct long ago!"

"A talking mushroom!" Johanna was dumbfounded.

"Ahem! Yeah, they're some new friends, please treat them well if possible…" I giggled a bit. "I've come for a quick visit, I need to talk with Hammer and all his blacksmith, craftsmen, and alchemist available. Can you quickly make me a small meeting with all of them?"

"Of course! We'll get that done within five minutes at most! In the meantime, I hope you can enjoy any place to take a break." Sporegon swiftly ran away to set up a meeting.

However, as we moved to my castle to relax, I suddenly heard a little fairy flying to my side.

"Lady Planta, Nieve! I'm glad you're back!" It was Florie. "Big news! Some strange people trespassed the forest some hours ago!"
