【Beginning】
Since losing her wings and breaking her legs, Boyciana stayed lifelessly in her bed; the old Druid was very worried about her condition. The Druid was old, but she still had to continue bearing the responsibility of a Druid until it was her time to leave this world.
Before the old Druid passed away, Boyciana’s legs had recovered. She reminded Boyciana not to belittle herself and that she should believe in the stork’s decision. BBoyciana absent-mindedly listened to her, only to realize her responsibilities after the old Druid passed away.
Boyciana wore the feathered headdress again. She could feel power filling her body, yet there was no sign of her wings. As she often secluded herself in the cabin, it was not until she took a stroll in the forest did she notice that her tribe had been slowly and steadily reviving.
Although the village’s size could not compare to the past, the villagers helped each other with hopeful smiles on their faces. Boyciana was surprised to see this and the pain in her chest started to lessen gradually. She began to have this feeling: the want to protect this revived piece of land.
However, good days never last. A couple of days later, she received a report from villager that they saw soldiers of the Human kingdom wandering around the forest, and they overheard the kingdom’s plan to burn the forest down in order to vacate the land for agricultural use. Upon hearing this, Boyciana drew magic circles everywhere in the forest in preparation for another fight against them.
The Human kingdom set fire to the forest that night. Upon hearing sorrowful cries from the birds, Boyciana immediately began chanting the magic circles’ spells, but she could not channel her power at will so the magic circles did not come into full effect. The fire spread, which scared off the villagers and other animals.
【Before Battles】
- Boyciana: Stork, I just want to protect this forest...
- Boyciana: Power...You’re not willing to lend me just a bit of power?
【Enemy Dialog】
- Boyciana: I’m no better than an animal and don’t deserve your power to protect everything I cherish?!
【End】
Boyciana tried to evacuate the villagers while animals ran around in panic. A tall tree collapsed, blocking the ways of a number of deers and rabbit babies. Just as Boyciana wanted to help them, some adult deers and rabbits ahead turned their ways back and stood in front of their babies to protect them.
- Boyciana: You could have lived. Why did you...
Boyciana could not help but think back to her parents. They also tried to protect her like the animal parents, so that she could escape the soldiers’ slaughter...
- Boyciana: Love gives you the courage to sacrifice...
- Boyciana: I see.
Just then, Boyciana could feel power spreading across her body from the feet. She jumped down from a tree as her hands morphed into a pair of wings. She brought wind and water to everywhere she flew by, putting out the fire. In a short while, the wildfire was completely extinguished.
- Stork Druid - Boyciana: From this day onward, this forest is my life!
