Grandowl: T-That is-

Echo: The Crescent Moon Blood Eyes!!

Siren eyes color change from black to red like a blood red moon. And her iris appear crescent moon shape. After a few seconds, her eyes color change back to black, same for her iris, the crescent moon shape disappear. Siren blood veins stop popping out and her body back to normal and after that she's fainted.

Echo: Grandowl,..she is-

Grandowl: Yes. There is no mistake. She is the Crescent Moon Blood Necromancers. It is very rare for us to meet one nowadays. Last time, it was hundred thousand years ago.

Echo: (smile) It must be my lucky day.

Grandowl: (nod and smile) Yes, indeed.

Echo: Okay, let me bring her to the tree house.

Grandowl: Okay sure.

Echo bring Siren to the tree house. When Siren awake, she sees Echo is standing in front of her smiling. Echo approaching Siren.

Echo: Are you awake?

Siren: (rustle and sit up) erm..W-Where am-I?

Echo: You are in the tree house.

Siren: Tree-house..?

Siren suddenly remember the incident where her blood veins popping out creeping to the whole of her body which she feels like having a very bad nightmare. Then, Siren push Echo away from her. There's a lot of emotions Siren feels at that time. She is feeling panic, scared, trembling and tears dropping from her eyes.

Siren: Y-You?!...My-My body..?! What have you done to me?!!!

Echo hug her trembling body even though she is trying to push him away. Echo pat her head lightly trying to calm her down. After Siren calm down, Echo release her from the hug.

Echo: Are you feeling okay?

Siren: (sobbing)

Echo wipe her tears.

Echo: Firstly, I know you are scared about what just happen at the Tree of Life. I am so sorry about that. It won't happen again.

Siren listen quietly.

Echo: Secondly, I may need your help but, this is require you to stay here a bit longer, is it okay?

Siren: (teary eyes) If-I don't want to,..you will (looking at Echo) KILL me?

Siren is not sure if she's able to coming out from the Hooting Forest alive and safely but, she's still ask Echo anyway.

Echo: Nope. I will return you back.

Siren jolt a little like she did not expect that answer from Echo after what happen to her. Siren ask more question.

Siren: Can I-..trust you?

Echo: Yes. (smile)

Siren: o-okay (Is he telling the truth)

Siren still having doubts towards Echo. Siren know that she cannot fully trust Echo.

Echo: Okay, let's go (offer his hand)
