    Father''s spirit emerged, materializing itself into a beautiful bird of mes.


    Meanwhile, mother''s spirit materialized into arge eyeball with feathered wings, which began shootingsers out of its eye.


    "W-Woah! There were really spirits watching over us!" said Zack.


    "Those are Sylphy''s parents'' spirits!" said Aquarina.


    "Children, An has told me that whenever you were in a dire situation, that I should give you a ride back home,e… I am a friendly spirit; my name is Phoenix." Said therge zing bird, it resembled a beautiful peacock with colorful zing feathers.


    We all looked at the beautiful spirit…


    "Children… I know I might be a dazzling being for your young minds, I am well aware of my beauty! However… you must not distract yourselves! Come on, my mes won''t burn you, but will protect you." Said the peacock, it was actually a very narcissistic spirit.


    "Come on, don''t fear it, let''s get over it!" I said, quickly moving over its back, and helping Zack and Aquarina sit down behind me.


    Aquarina tightly wrapped her arms around my belly and chest, while Zack did the same with Aquarina… she disliked this but knew there was no other way around it anyways.


    "Then let us go to the skies!" said Phoenix, pping his zing and colorful feathered wings.


    FLAAAAASH!


    Like a sh of mes, we reached high into the skies, only to find arge Tyrannosaur unleashing lightning against an army of Goblins that was following us, right at the side of where we were.


    "GROAR!"


    TRUUUMM…!


    Lightning began toe out of its body, electrifying entire armies of green skins and burning them alive in an instant, it was… that was…!


    "Is that Ninhursag?!" I asked.


    "It is! It must be her! She''s killing the goblins!" said Aquarina.


    "Was she helping us?" asked Zack.


    The tyrannosaur looked up to us for a moment, seemingly concerned about us, its eyes were not those of a wild beast, but it was clear there was a consciousness within them.


    "Hm, we saw her fighting the goblins for a while in the other side of the battlefield, she was getting rid of arge quantity that began to rush out of the vige, turns out that the moment Goblins die and their blood is stuck into your clothes, the others will quickly seek the scent of their fallenrades ande after you, the goblins wouldn''t give up until they were to kill you… or well, you were to wipe them all out." Said Phoenix.


    "Oh…" said Aquarina.


    "Wait, that''s awful…" said Zack.


    "So we would had been chased forever until there was a conclusion? I guess they cannot really get through the barrier." I said.


    "The barrier of the amazon tribe? Indeed, they shouldn''t be able to… For now, children, let''s go back, let''s leave this to her and the other spirits to handle, this is already in a level you shouldn''t handle by yourselves." Said Phoenix.


    FLAAAASH!


    We flew across the skies and quickly reached the Amazon Vige, crossing through the barrier, we were greeted by our parents, who were rather happy to see us.


    "Sylphy! Are you okay?" asked my father.


    He quickly hugged me and began kissing my cheeks.


    "Yeah, I am fine… Don''t worry, it was an… interesting experience." I said.


    "I saw how you fought… that was incredible, but the dangers you went through… Ah, I like to think of them as tests but still, I was really worried!" said my father.


    "Sylphy, we have told you multiple times that you shouldn''t run into danger! Also what''s that thing?" asked my mother angrily. While my father was the soft parent, she was the strict one. Well, she was still hugging me with my father while kissing my forehead and caressing my hair.


    "Pyuuu!"


    Pyuku waved its little tentacle to everyone, greeting them.


    "It''s Pyuku, a Slime we tamed, it is friendly and helped us fight, I am sure you saw it help us." I said.


    "We saw a bit…" said my father.


    "You and your antics of taming strange creatures…" sighed my mother.


    I nced at Aquarina as she was being held by her father''s arms, while Nepheline petted Zack''s head and even kissed his forehead.


    "I am d you''re all okay, you did a great job there, you surprised us." Said Nepheline.


    "Aquarina you''ve grown so strong I can barely recognize you…" said Shade.


    "So it was all a test?" she wondered.


    "Well, things surged out of nowhere, we didn''t predicted them…" said my father.


    "But Ninhursag sent us a message through magic, telling us about the goblins, and then you came across them… we decided to let you fight them as you seemed to want a challenge." Said my Nepheline.


    "I was against it! I don''t think such young children should be going through such trials yet…" sighed my mother.


    "But didn''t they do a great job? A Goblin Champion is a super strong Tier 4 Monster after all. It can even rival Tier 5 ones…" said my father.


    I suppose that after the incident when we were trapped inside a different Dimension that my parents had be even more wary and concerned about us, they cannot really get their eyes off us easily, but that''s fine by me to be honest…


    "More importantly, what do we do now?" wondered Nepheline.


    "We should really go aid Ninhursag, those Goblins seem to be beingmanded by a Goblin King, I am sure she can handle it too, but what if something more dangerous shows up?" wondered my father.


    "The jungle had suddenly begun to resonate with a lot of dark energies, and the spirits seem to be restless… I am worried about what might happen in the near future… We should go handle this…" said my mother.


    "Then I''ll go with An, you two girls stay here taking care of the kids and the vige." Said Shade.


    "Eh? Since when are you the leader here…? But fine." Said Nepheline.


    "Okay, take care, dear…" said my mother, kissing my father.


    "Alright, let''s go." Said my father.


    My father petted my head and gave me a confident nod, as he and Shade quickly flew away from the vige…N?v(el)B\\jnn


    I feel like something weird is going on…


    -----


    Meanwhile, within the farther areas from the Jungle,rge armies of green-skinned barbarians began to march through the entire area, led by a dark force that began to spread everywhere…


    Hundreds- no, thousands of them began to march forward, spreading around and scouting the entire area.


    Large figuresmanded them, enormous Orcs, Trolls, and Goblin Champions.


    Arge beast resembling a mammoth was walking through the jungle, generating tremors as it stepped through the forest floor.


    Its entire body destroyed any tree it came across, as a dark presence emanated from the small cabin atop its wide back.


    A dark entity was resting there, overlooking things through with sharp crimson-red eyes.


    Covered in blue skin and having two enormous ck horns atop its forehead, alongside long ck hair and a body packed with muscles and covered in scars, it emanated the aura of a King…


    "So this is where the Lost Princess is hiding? You won''t be able to run away from your fate anymore…"
