Llewellyn, the usually jovial leader of the fairy village, opens the grand doors to the meeting hall, ushering Mira and Zephyr inside.
The hall is spacious, with high ceilings adorned with intricate designs, and walls lined with shimmering crystals that cast a soft, ethereal light.
The floor is made of polished wood, and a long, ornate table sits in the center, surrounded by chairs carved with delicate patterns.
As the trio settles in, Llewellyn's demeanor shifts, his usual expression replaced by one of seriousness.
Mira is momentarily taken aback, unaccustomed to seeing him like this, but she quickly regains her composure as she begins to question him about the recent events.
She asks about his father, Florian Scorchstone, the previous leader, who seems to have been absent during the attack.
Llewellyn explains that he succeeded his father about fifty years ago and adds that his father is alive and well, living with the Earth Fairy clan due to increased sightings of Demonic Beasts.
Zephyr then inquires about how the Demonic Beasts breached the village's barrier. Llewellyn shakes his head, admitting he has no idea.
Mira, pondering the situation, asks if the fairies lost their magic during the attack. Llewellyn confirms this, slamming his hands on the table in frustration as he recalls that moment of helplessness.
Mira suggests that Malakor, the evil god who stole the fairies' magic in the past, may be behind the recent events.
Llewellyn and Zephyr are astonished by her conclusion.
She explains that Malakor may have possessed a Demonic Beast to have stolen their magic, as he did similarly before, albeit with a human previously.
She advises Llewellyn to check on the Fire Fairies' piece of Yggdrasil, as it very well may be Malakor's true target.
Llewellyn agrees and leaves to investigate, leaving Mira and Zephyr to help the villagers in his stead.
As he descends into a hidden cave leading to Yggdrasil, he realizes something is wrong.
The tree's mystical glow is fading, and one of its many branches has begun to crack and fall off, crashing to the ground with a deafening thud. Yggdrasil is dying, and Llewellyn suspects that Malakor had returned to destroy the Fire Fairy clan's piece of Yggdrasil. For what reason, he couldn't fathom, but he did know one thing. The world was in imminent danger if this pattern continued.
