Under the anticipating gazes of Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid, Azure did not usher in a new round of rapid growth. Only its three existing leaves grew a bit thicker, and the fourth broad leaf was still reluctant to unfold.
Many unidentified Larvae and Water Scorpions appeared in the small pond.
The most outrageous thing was that, at some point, a frog had bypassed the defense of 12 Soldier Ants. It jumped into the pond to lay eggs, and a large group of tadpoles hatched.
Towards these intruders in its Territory, Azure behaved very friendly, even somewhat happy.
The tadpoles would develop into frogs, which Ink Orchid was not happy about.
The pond had just been fertilized; Dragon Cypress was reluctant to drain the water to catch them.
The Larvae and Water Scorpions would turn into mosquitoes and dragonflies and fly away.
As for the tadpoles, they would deal with them once they turned into frogs.
There was too much to be busy with, up and down the mountains.
