Pyro grinned. *sounds a bit like me.*

Coleen sighed, then grinned at Lilli. *can we meet her?*

She smiled.

"Of course! I'm sure she'd also be thrilled to meet the ones who saved her home!"

Coleen grinned. *sweet! Can we go now?*

Pyro chuckled. *we just need Yajun to make us a portal.*

Yanjun was asleep in a nearby pet bed. Aoi got up, and shook him awake. "Nngh...come on...I was having a good dream..."

Lilli spoke. "Sorry, yanjun. We just need a portal to mystic island?"

Yanjun got up and stretched, then flew up, and jabbed at the air. On the other side, people can see the ledge of mystic island.

Aoi smiled. "come on! Let's go!"

Coleen immediately jumped through.

Pyrus froze, realizing something. *but... I went crazy last time. What if that happens again?*

Lilli shook her head.

"I think it had something to do with the feeling of being threatened or under attack. The creatures and people there think of you all as heroes. If anyone did threaten you though, I think that a resident would bodyguard you."

Lilli and Aoi walk through the portal. Aoi looks back.

"Come on py! The portal won't stay open forever!"

Pyro thought, then nodded and walked through the portal.

Coleen was sitting down, bored. *took you long enough.* then she looked at Lilli and asked, *so where would the lady be, here?*

Lilli answered. "Deep in the mystic island forest, there's a giant tree called the "lifeblood tree". Legend says that many shadow creatures have attacked before, but the tree has evaporated them. The pack we fought was just especially powerful. She lives inside it."

(Sorry i was off so long, almost got grounded for sneaking time)

Coleen grinned. *oh, that trees still alive in the future! Also, it has its own forest and fields, becuase it made a bunch of seeds during an extra long winter, and they all sprouted during spring. Plus, legend says if you go to the Lifeblood tree with a certain wish, it will be granted. But theres rules for the wish.

1. Must not be selfish - it must help others, whether you wanna stop hunger or make a home for the homeless or something,

2. A human or part human must say it,

3. It must not had been said before, and if it has, the reason must be a new one,

4. A creature of power must awaken the tree for the wish, preferably something mythical. A Triceratops works fine, though. And

5. It must be exactly 7 words. It only works with the Lifeblood tree, but considering the forest came from that one tree, we call the rest of the trees the Blessing trees, and the forest is called the Forest of Wishes.*

(I copied the rules from the book Dragon Rider when the people are summoning a wish-granting thousand-eyed djinn - read it if u havent)

Pyro blinked. *thats specific. And a lot of info.*

Coleen nodded. *plus, the lady were about to see could still be alive, hiding in the forest. Nobody knows for sure.*

(big o o f)

Lilli nodded. "I guess the 'creature in power' part wouldn't apply, since one is living inside right now. Also, how much is 'part human'? While I'm full demon, Aoi has a tiny bit of human in her."

A bunch of smaller animals and fairies are starting to surround the group, seeming as excited as puppies when their owners come home.

Aoi smiles down at them, as they run around in circles happy to see their heroes.
