The fairy Forest

Malphiel answers, "I'm feeling great. Having someone to relieve myself on is really helpful and I think I like him, like I know he's a slave and he was a member of a misogynist cult, but like... The entire cult was just a bunch of people looking for love and relief for their desires, right?" she suggests, "so maybe he's actually a good guy," she adds.

When Era is asked Malphiel specifically gives him permission to speak freely, "well... It's not too bad so far. It's a little... uncomfortable. Sometimes it's like watching my body moving from outside. It can be a bit... Disorienting as well and I'm not gonna lie, it's understandable, but still hurts a bit that you all weren't willing to trust me, I get it, but... As for Malphiel herself. She's beautiful, soft and very kind. When I can feel her and see her happy, it makes it all worth it," he states and Malphiel giggles and gives him a side hug.

Vadel appears on a separate path, "Hmm? It's a little exciting and a little scary. I had no attachment to the forest, but going into the unknown is still scary as for my hopes... Well I hope to find somewhere I can be accepted and maybe ways to become... Well more myself," she answers.

Izzy is staring at the ground shamefully, but when addressed he raises his head. "Dreg just gave me the aphrodisiacs that I guess were made by Malia? That and just knowledge I guess... Incorrect knowledge perhaps..." he adds, "I didn't have direct dealings with either, but well..." he flaps his wings, "my... mother? Er the one who impregnated my goblin mother, was an angel of the tower above, so in a way I'm descended from the Tower Above?" he suggests, "as I understand it my conception was... complicated," he adds a little nervously.

"As for goals and aspirations... I'd like The Chosen to like me... I know I'm not doing a great job in that department so far... I'd like to also find I don't know... Who I'm supposed to be?" he says lamely.

Take sighs, "I like Malphiel. I know I technically haven't known her for that long, but she feels like my best friend. I don't know how to feel about her new... Boyfriend? But I guess bound to her like that even if he is untrustworthy he's harmless now... Vadel seems friendly and useful, I hope for the best for her and I wonder if she can fix my mask?" she says and then her expression sours, "I want to be kind to Izzy... but he's... He... I don't know if I can forgive him, at least not easily. I'm... Scared that will just happen again. I don't know if I can have a companion I don't trust," she adds.

"I have no problem with using the spear, it's a bit... Concerning, but it's a source of power and a weapon, as long as it's never me on the receiving end I don't mind using it," she says and then looks ahead, "My main goal remains the same, reach the top and find something that will let me atone for my mistakes and rejoin my brothers and sisters in the order, but on a smaller scale, I want to help people in this tower and... I want to kill Malia and Dreg," she answers, her expression darkening further as she talks about Dreg and Malia.

A bit later they pass through an arch made of trees and the scenery changes. They are standing in a clearing. Trees surround them, fairy lights float in the air and in the center of the clearing is a fountain. A statue stands in the center of the fountain, hands lifted to the sky and the water pours down from his hands into the fountain. The man is a young, handsome figure wearing only a pair of pants, his muscular, chiseled chest on display. He has a powerful chin and a look of utter pride and determination on his face. A figure is sitting on the edge of the fountain, She has her right leg crossed over the left and is wearing a halter top and short frilly skirt, both made out of a fabric that seems to glisten in the light. She has fiery red hair that falls to her shoulders in gentle curls and pure green eyes with no sclera and tiny pinprick pupils, "Heya, Take you made it." she greets the group when they show up.

"Maie? Is that you? You're..." Take starts.

"Big? Yeah! Believe it or not this is our normal size," she says standing her wings spreading out behind her as she stretches. She's still smaller than a human being about 4'6, but she's still much bigger than her tiny self. "Dreg makes us take those tiny forms outside the fairy forest, part of the deal..." she explains, "I think it's just to make it easier for him to eat us," she adds. "I can't wait to introduce you to the queens!" she adds taking Take's hand and gesturing behind her. There's a path going forward, but there's also a path to the right and she's gesturing to the one going forward.

Aside from Maie and the Fountain and the two paths, there are two huts here made out of twisting branches and leaves formed through magic into a structure. One seems to be a sleeping area, the other is a seamstress shop and as expected Vadel, no longer dressed in her armor is leaning in the doorway. She's wearing a simple spider silk dress that hugs her form and unfortunately shows off a distinct lack of curves. She's got short brown hair that she's clearly trying to grow out, but it's only about cheek length so far.
