The Fairy King Oberon is a powerful Fairy, that much was certain and while he was an ally and a charismatic leader among the Fae, he held a grudge toward Yu for disrupting his plan to sacrifice her in the hope of strengthening the barrier that Albion had cast. "Well, first we will need to find out where Oberon even is!" Nyancelot said. Yu nodded. "I know where he is, I saw him leave the palace earlier today." she said.
Nyancelot raised an eyebrow. "Really? Where did he go?" he asked. Yu shrugged. "I don't know exactly, but I remember seeing him fly off in the direction of the forest." she said. Nyancelot nodded. "Alright then, let's go check it out!" he said. The two of them soon left the palace and headed towards the forest.
As they entered the forest they noticed that the air was filled with an eerie silence. No birds were singing, no insects buzzing, nothing. It was as if all life had fled from this place.
"This is weird..." Nyancelot said. "It's like the whole forest is holding its breath." Yu nodded. "Yeah, I know what you mean. It feels like something bad is about to happen." she said. Nyancelot looked around nervously.
"Should we keep going? Maybe we should turn back..." he suggested. Yu shook her head. "No, we need to find Oberon. If we don't convince him to help us then we won't be able to build the tower." she said. Nyancelot sighed. "Alright, but let's be careful okay?" he said. Yu nodded. "Okay." she replied. They continued walking through the forest until they came across a clearing. In the middle of the clearing stood a large tree with a hole in its trunk. As they approached the tree the ground began to shake violently. Suddenly the tree split open revealing a giant creature inside. It looked like some kind of insectoid monster with six legs and two large pincers on either side of its mouth. It roared loudly as it emerged from the tree.
