"Woah!" Rui got up, leaping away from her in the blink of an eye as he studied the elderly light elf before his eyes shot about the empty cavity. "What the hell? Where am I? How long has it been since I fell asleep?"
His hand shot to his head as he felt his head ache, trying to remember what had happened.
His memories were sometimes temporarily foggy as his consciousness booted slowly, having done so for the first time in a while.
"I was using Gigabrain to search for some place safe to teleport to…" he murmured, recollecting what had happened. "And then…"
His eyes widened as his attention returned to the elderly light elf grandma who slowly got up from the ground, dusting her gown, woven from organic fibers fashioned from thin vines.
Rui's pitch-black eyes bore deep into her powerful, wise, elderly eyes.
"You…" he murmured with realization. "You are the Mother of Nature I chose, aren't you?"
Mother Maeria simply nodded, regarding him with soft eyes.
"Rui."
