Prophecy about a Slime Boi?

"2 years…" That was how long Aria had before Canon started, based on the information she had received from Treyni. Safe to say, it was a lot of time, with that much time she could easily get a footing in the Central World.

'I could get a footing right this moment if I actually wanted in so much different ways.' Indeed that was the case. All she would need to do is release her overwhelming amount of magicules, or her True Dragon status, or Elemental Queen status.

There was a number of ways she could become renowned, but she wasn't going to go for any of the above, as she already had one in mind, one that required her to go to the Dwelling of Spirits.

"What do you mean by 2 years, Lady Echidna." Treyni who heard her mutter curiously asked.

"Hmm~ The winds of change shall below in two years." Aria said, with a sagely smile.

"Winds of change?" Elaine, who of course was listening to her Mistress asked.

Aria smiled wordlessly and uttered, "In a place where shadows blend with light, A shape-shifting being emerges, an enigma taking flight.

From a formless sphere, azure and slight,

Destined to craft a world, both just and bright.

A creature of slime, with a heart so bold,

Weaves a prophecy, a tale to be told.

In the guise of a child, innocent and mild,

The harbinger of change, the destiny compiled.

Eccentric and childish, yet wise within,

Analyzing the world, where their journey begins.

A carnival of faces, ever-changing attire,

Aiming to build a world, fueled by desire.

In the echoes of laughter, in the comfort's embrace,

A convenient realm, their dream to chase.

With cunning and ruthlessness veiled in a grin,

A legacy unfolds, where transformation begins."

"…."

Silence was all that greeted Aria once she stopped talking, clearly everyone was enraptured by her words of wisdom, that she created while using [Thought Acceleration].

"A prophecy, was that a prophecy, Lady Echidna?" Treyni asked, with curiosity and seriousness.

"Indeed it is." Aria nodded and continued with an amused smile, "And don't you think it will be interesting? A Slime, one of the weakest creatures bringing about a great change and a brighter world."

Treyni nodded slightly, "It does seem a little unbelievable…"

"But if Lady Echidna said such a thing will happen, then it will happen." Elaine interjected, her confidence in her Mistress was as boundless as the sky.

'Fenrir who heard the words of the High Elf, opened one of his eyes, and thought, 'It looks like Mother picked up a good seedling, I expected nothing less from her.'

Treyni also gave a glance to Elaine, she couldn't help but wonder if she was affected by the Aria's aura as an Elemental Queen. 'I don't believe it's just that…When I look at Lady Echidna, I get this feeling that she's out of this world, like she's so far yet so grounded, so similar yet so different.'

Treyni was soon broken out of her thoughts by Aria's voice.

"Now that you've all become Dryas Doll Dryads, I guess it's about time I leave."

"You're leaving?" Doris asked, her sadness was palpable for all to see, and it was a feeling shared by all the Drayd—Dryas'.

Aria smiled softly at them, it feels good to know that there are people who will miss her if she were to go. But it was equally unfair to those people if you up and disappeared without even telling them.

Walking up to the timid Dryas, Aria kissed her forehead and smiled, "Rather than leaving, you can say that I'm going so that I can bring you a surprise."

Doris cheeks reddened at the kiss, but she still focused on Aria's words, "A surprise?"

Aria nodded, "Mm. Give me a week latest, and I'll definitely be back with a surprise that you'll surely like."

"Okay…" Doris nodded with an expectant smile.

Treyni and Trya, along with the other Dryas' smiled gently at their interaction.

The latter even nudged her elder sister and smirked, "Sister, isn't Lady Echidna really kind, I think you should give her chance. She's an Elemental Queen too."

Treyni became slightly flustered at her sister's words, and if she was being honest she was actually considering it, even more when she heard that Aria would be bringing them a surprise. She had an inkling that this surprise would be a certain Fairy Queen.

Aria, with her super hearing and [Magic Sense], of course heard Trya's words and noticed Treyni's expression, so she threw her future sister-in-law a mental thumbs up for being a great wingwoman.

"Anyways, before I leave, there's one problem that needs to be solved." Aria said, looking at all the Dryas'.

"A problem?" One of the Dryas' questioned.

"Houses." Aria stated, much to their surprise, "Before you did not have to worry about such a thing as your Material Body was a tree, but that isn't the case now."

"I'm embarrassed to say that it had indeed slipped our mind, Lady Echidna." Trya said, giggling lightly, while Treyni nodded along with her. The excitement of being able to move freely made them forget about the consequences of such an abrupt change.

Aria waved them off, "It's fine~ And as I told you before, once I do something, I'll do it to the end. As such, this is also my responsibility, so tell me where you would like me to build your houses."

Treyni, recalling what Aria previously said, decided to take her help, as she was sure she wouldn't be able to persuade her not to. "Please follow me." So she led her into a place she had in mind.

"So you guys are Treants, huh?" Aria said, as she looked at the green-haired androgynous looking men, who left their trees and created temporary Magic Bodies the moment they sensed her.

"Lady Ramiris?" One of them muttered, when he felt a unique aura that made him want to kneel before her.

Treyni walked up to them and introduced Aria, "This is not Lady Ramiris, she is Lady Echidna…You can consider her Lady Ramiris' sister."

"Hmm?" Aria who was looking at the trees, snapped her head back to Treyni, giving her a questioning look, only to receive an apologetic smile. "Oh well." She just shrugged it off, it didn't really matter or hurt her being called Ramiris' sister.

"Lady Ramiris' sister? Does that mean she's also an Elemental Queen?"

"Is that why you also feel different Treyni?"

Rather than receiving the answer from Treyni, it was Aria who replied to them, "You can indeed consider me an Elemental Queen. As for the reason the Dryads feel different, it's because they are now Dryas Doll Dryads, in other words there Dryas Trees was carved out into dolls and they can now move freely."

"Wow~"

"As expected of an Elemental Queen like Lady Echidna."

"Indeed. Indeed."

Aria rolled her eyes at their reaction, and asked, "Do you guys also want to move around?"

"No."

"Nope."

"That's a drag."

"I would rather sleep all day."

Aria's eyes twitched at their replies, and Fenrir who heard them was already growling, even Elaine who could be considered their acquaintance was glaring daggers at them.

"Please forgive them, Lady Echidna. Treants in general are a race that hardly move, and just enjoy bathing in the sunlight." Treyni bowed said with an embarrassed smile.

"They are at least interesting…In that case I would like to ask if you guys mind if I modify your Material Bodies, so the Dryas' can have a place to stay, and no, it will not destroy you or hurt you." Aria explained.

"Sure."

"If it's for Treyni and the others then it's fine."

"Agreed."

'Truly a carefree and amusing bunch' Aria thought with a light smile, as she got to work. She was going to modify their bodies with [Organic Domination] and create a treehouse.

"And done…" Aria muttered, while wondering how much times she said this since she reincarnated. Her attention then shifted to the Dryas' and Treants who were looking at the latters' Material Bodies in awe.

"How beautiful…" Someone muttered, and it was a thought that everyone shared. Even the Treants who hadn't been modified now wanted to do so.

"I'm glad you guys like it…With that done it's time I go." Aria commented, snapping them out of their thoughts.

"Thank you for everything, Lady Echidna." Treyni sincerely said and bowed, along with the other Dryas' and even Treants.

"If you're really thankful, what do you say to a date in the future?" Aria asked with a cheeky smile.

"…Sure." Treyni replied with a slight smile.

"Nice." Aria grinned at happily, her new life was going smoother than she expected.
