The night came as the five girls settle down on a cave, the campfire gave warmth to the girls as they sat silently around it, however Ame was on the corner as she stares at her pocket watch, Gura looks at she get a piece of fish and stood up and walks to her, cuts it half and offered the fish as Gura sits down next to her and spoke.

“ Something wrong Ame? ”

Amelia puts her pocket watch on her pocket behind her coat and accepted Gura's fish and replied

“ oh, no, It's nothing. ”

She began eating the cooked fish, Gura then did the same, Ina kept quiet as she eats the cooked fish on the stick.

“ Sure is cold out there. ”

Said Mori as she looks outside, Ina then realized the girls feel quite bored, she suddenly had an idea, she then gets the book and unfolds it, the pages flipped and soon, golden ashes began to appear from the book as they shape shift into characters, similar to herself, Kiara, Gura, Ame and Mori, little golden ashed figures appear out of the book and jumps to the ground, Mori and Kiara watches as their figures play around the ground, Kiara's little figure tripped and fell, Mori's figure then laughed at kiara's, Kiara and Mori watched as Mori as well laughed, Ina began to entertain the two as Ame and Gura noticed them smiling and chuckling, they then looked at the figures and was amazed, they see little figures of them running around, they then stood and walked to where Mori and Kiara, they sat down around the campfire, as well as the little versions of them. They enjoyed watching themselves as Ina entertain them, lightning up their mood.

Not too long, they tucked in for the night, However, Amelia woke up as the others are peacefully sleeping, she then had the idea to leave the cave and walk outside for a while, she decided to go back to the forest as she walks, however, the atmosphere in the forest seems.. Warm rather than cold, usually at around where Amelia woke up, it should be still cold, as she kept walking she noticed someone's presence, a warm, gentle one rather, the atmosphere in the area where Amelia is quite warmer than outside of it, she continues walking as she sees someone, lifting their hand as a sparrow land on it, the presence then spoke

“ Beautiful aren't they, Human? ”

Said Fauna, Amelia gasped as she slightly backs up, Fauna then scoffs as she looks at Amelia and spoke

“ Don't worry, I'm not in the mood to fight, I'm just here to enjoy some.. Alone time, it's a coincidence that you're here, if Kronii was here, she'd rush at you immediately. ”

Amelia remained quiet as she watched Fauna's movements.

“ ...if only Kronii wasn't that perfect. ”

Fauna added. Amelia's eyes then widened after hearing what Fauna said

“ What..? ”

“ You see, there is someone dear to me, yet doesn't pay much attention towards me, all she pays attention is.. Kronii, ”

Said fauna as she scoffs a bit

“ ..my, I do wonder, what does Kronii have that I don't..? ”

She added, Amelia stood still as she remain silent

“ ..... ”

Fauna then slowly turns and walks away, further in the forest as she spoke

“ Don't worry, I won't tell them you're here. ”

After that, Fauna disappears in front of Amelia, Amelia then sighs and turns.

“ ...You better not. ”

She mumbled as she walks back to the cave where everyone was.

She then sees Gura seemingly looking around, probably was looking for Amelia, she slowly walks towards Gura as Gura looked to her direction

“ Where have ya been? ”

Gura asked. Amelia then just smiled as she answers

“ just taking an early morning walk. ”

“ Fauna! ”

Fauna snaps back to her consciousness as Sana called out to her, after returning to the Council, Fauna seem to have zoned out after arriving, worried, Sana told her to rest but Fauna kindly refused, meanwhile Kronii was talking to Bae, asking permissions to go out and find the Myth, but Bae declined over and over, Bae then had the idea to try to find and encounter at least one of the Myths, she then told the four councils to stand by while she's away, but Kronii, had other plans.
