~A few minutes earlier~

                                 Elara takes a few deep breaths and tries to calm herself down. Felix and Hyunjin should be back in a few minutes. She finished almost immediately and they wouldn't take longer. She looks towards the books in her bag. She stretches her hand to pick up one, but her attention is stolen by a few step sounds. "Felix, is that you?" she feels her heartbeat increase when nobody answers again and she is left alone only with the murmur of water resounding in the background. She gets up, and exhales in frustration. "Hyunjin! If you attempt to scare me I'm going to kill you!" ... silence... so, it's not Hyunjin. Then?... A few yawning sounds that can be heard from behind her make her turn around. Is there a baby? Why does it sound like a sleeping child? She leaves her bag near the tree trunk and steps towards the sounds. The blue anemones suddenly  sparkle and start to send rays of glitter towards Elara. She doesn't seem to notice that the jewel on her forehead started to sparkle violently. The connection between Mother Nature's helpers and her diadem seem to make Elara have a headache, but she concentrates on what she saw a few seconds ago. A small drop of water on the edge of a plant. Nothing wrong with it, but inside of it there is a drop of life. A small fairy baby. It looks like a baby carried by a caring mother, but the wings make the difference. The little fragile creature sleeps peacefully as Elara crouches and looks at it from a certain distance.

                                She is afraid to go any closer, for as not to wake the baby up

                                She is afraid to go any closer, for as not to wake the baby up. She is afraid not to make it dissapear into thin air as it was the size of her pinky nail. Her eyes dart from the baby to another small creature. Another fairy. Could it be the baby's mother? Or it's guardian? The little creature seems to... cry? A small, fragile green-skinned fairy. It had such beautiful wings that it left Elara speechless. Such amazingly detailed transparent wings.
