Chapter 3

Kryst didn't expect for his body to easily adapt . Not long after he started excercising , he could now walk thanks to the help of Ygdrassil . When the excitement of finally being able to walk fades , Kryst noticed the piled up things at the side.  He remembered that before they went into the space crack , Ygdrassil seemed to have snatched those things .

Kryst crawled slowly towards the pile and dragged a suitcase towards his body . Kryst suddenly panicked and stumbled , his face immediately dropped to the ground out of his control . A tree branch quickly extended and helped the seemingly about to cry toddler .

Kryst sniffed the mucus that was about to drop down and wiped his tears . He couldn't believe he is such a cry baby .

Kryst focused back on the suitcase and slowly opened it . When the suitcase opened , he saw that there's a bottle of pills and serums in it , on the right side of the silk fabric , there lay several disposable syringes. 

" What kind of serums are these? " Asked Kryst to the Tree of Life .

Ygdrassil looked at the tubes of suspicious liquids on the large suitcase and nonchalantly replied . " Drugs that could boost your strength temporarily , it is useful in case you're in an extreme danger . With it , you can surpass your opponent's strength for a small span of time.  "

" Don't use it often , it can harm your body.  " .

Kryst nodded in agreement and slowly put back the serums to the fabric .

Kryst then crawled to the other things from the pile and took out a document .

What's written on the document is about the things they have done before the completion of Ygdrassil's being. 

It is also written how some genes of the humans they captured was rejected by the artificial Ygdrassil created by Doctor Jameson. Until the genes of Kryst's parents was accepted .

Kryst threw it away and pulled out a book with leather cover.  Suddenly , Kryst's eyes widened and looked back at Ygdrassil with confused eyes .

Written in the book was the ancient tree that existed for a long long time.  In the picture , the tree resembled almost 80% to Ygdrassil. It is said in the legend that the residents of the village often saw spirits around this ancient tree whenever dark comes .

The residents feared this ancient tree and would always excuse themselves whenever they passed by this ancient Tree .

An old grandma said the ancient tree had existed for a long time that the estimation is that this old tree had lived for about two centuries already .

Every new generations of the village regarded this Tree as a symbol of their village . They would put paper bills in the corner or roots of the tree to pray that their wishes will be granted. 

Not until an old man visited the village. The old man offered to the chief of the village to cut the tree in exchange of wealth but the old chief disagreed and strongly refused his proposal bringing the anger of the institute to the whole village .

The village was attacked by terrorists and the ancient tree was cut down by suspicious men wearing white lab .

" Ssil , do you know this tree? " Asked the toddler curiously and pointed at the black and white picture of the ancient tree .

Ygdrassil extended his branches and looked at the picture . " That... Doctor Jameson made most of my DNA from that ancient Tree.  I don't know what he did to me but most of my genome comes from that tree.  I really don't know molecular biology and genetics , just flip through the informations right there in the piles . " Ygdrassil couldn't understand himself why is he repeating his own words . Sometimes , Ygdrassil suspected that Dr. Jameson was an extraterrestrial being that visited earth with a particular purpose .

Kryst put down the book and went to the things on the pile .

He saw some seeds inside a small cylinder container , liquids of different colors , documents about elves , weapons from the lab snatched by Ygdrassil and a cultivation method to strengthen the ability .

Kryst's eyes swept the body of the Tree of Life and gave Ygdrassil a flying kiss . " Thanks bro "

" You're welcome . "

Ygdrassil seemed to have already anticipated that Kryst needs a lot of things for entertainment during their escaped . He had snatched a lot of things that could draw Kryst away from boredom.

Kryst placed several bottles on a row and looked at the labels written on it one by one .

" These seems to be some seeds of plants and flowers . Do you want me to farm? "

Kryst looked around the bare meadow and looked back at the towering tree . Ygdrassil's branches shook indicating an agreement. 

" Our hidden domain has to be planted with colorful flowers and vegetables . What's the use of the starlight if you wouldn't plant? Only with a lot of plants would our space gain a lot of vitality suitable for elves . "

Ygdrassil's branches waved bringing a cool breeze to the silver haired toddler. Kryst subconsciously closed his eyes to feel the sensation of the wind brushing through his skin.  The elf toddler felt his pores opening and absorbing the vitality in the surroundings and felt refreshed all of a sudden as if he had just come out from a warm bath . 

Kryst slowly stood up with a wobbling knees and leaned on the shovel he had picked up.  This shovel was previously used by the scientists during the cultivation of Ygdrassil . Now , this elf toddler used the small shovel as a cane .

He walks a little bit far from the Tree where there's no shadow of Ygdrassil . Plants need starlight for photosensis , so he have to select a suitable place to start planting .

Although Ygdrassil exudes a lot of vitality , it is not good if two plants compete for the soil's nutrition . The figure of the toddler slowly crouching down to start digging on the soil entered a certain tree's vision.  Kryst looks so cute that Ygdrassil strangely felt motherly love for him. 

Who wouldn't develop an affection towards such a cute existence? Look at his toddler body , he looks just like playing on a sand . Ygdrassil secretly gave encouragement to the toddler .

" Aragula , Spinach , baby carrots , radishes , cucumbers , etc. I heard that these vegetables have rapid growth speed.  In about two- three weeks , we will have fresh harvest soon . Together with Ygdrassil's help , I'm sure their harvest time would be shortened.  "

Kryst starts opening the bottles of seeds one by one and began on putting the seeds on the prepare small pit he created . Gently patting it with the shovel , Kryst trotted towards the pile and dragged a sprinkler towards the newly ploughed small land . He just sowed one plant and decided to have a trial and error , he realm doesn't know how plant properly so he would just try for the first time .

While little Kryst starts planting to feed himself in the future , a certain tree watched the toddler busying himself watching the toddler as his only entertainment in the lonely place.
