After Artemia and Gracier left the forest of intermediate, they appeared in another forest.
The forest was enormous, luminous, and diverse. Its canopy was monopolized by beech, maple, and cedar, and abundant dancing lights bounced through their crowns for scattered mushrooms to reign the fertile soils below.
Bundled branches hung from a couple of trees, and a potpourri of flowers, which were seen occasionally, enriched the otherwise dark scenery.
A variety of noises, most belonged to foraging animals, added life to the forest, and overpowered the occasional sounds of birds of prey gliding in the air.
Strangely, Gracier felt no presence of monsters.
Having noticed Gracier's confusion, Artemia smiled and explained.
