Obelia's Rose

Chapter 47

OBELIA'S ROSE, CHAPTER FOURTY-SEVEN, BY VIICERENE.

As I snapped out of my... visit to the world tree, I saw Lucas staring right at me and yelling my name. "Hey, can you hear me?" He asked, looking desperate. I was laid down on the couch with my hair sprawled out onto the pillow and Lucas's coat draped onto me.

I raised an eyebrow at him, "Huh?" I asked. "Why am I on the sofa?" I continued. I sat upright, rubbing my eyes.

Lucas took a deep breath before showing me an upset look. "Are you crazy? You couldn't tell just by looking at it that it was a dangerous object?" He said. I don't plan on giving him any attention right now.

He scowled at me, "What do you take the world tree for? How could you just grab it like that?" He asked. I smiled softly at him, remembering my short encounter with the tree.

I reached out to his shirt and scooted closer to where he was standing. "I can cure him! I can cure my dad!" I said happily. He shook his head and waved his hand as a form of disapproval. "Calm down," He said, putting my hand down onto my lap.

"The feeling of omnipotence from the world tree is carrying you away." He said, wrapping two arms around me and carrying me up.

I wrapped two arms around his neck to be secure, and he looked me in the eyes. "Calm down, and take deep breaths." He said, waving a hand infront of my eyes this time. Once his gaze softened, it meant that I was fine.

He put a hand behind my head and pushed it so that my head would stay on his shoulder. "Have you returned to your senses?" He asked, patting my back.

With a nod, I responded with a short 'Yeah.'. And Lucas sat down onto the couch. "Even if we do utilize the World Tree, there's no guarantee that your dad would get better." He said, patting my back as a form of reassurance.

Wait, no! "Not only there is no precendence, your dad is unconscious, and you wouldn't be able to use the method of inducing the mana." Lucas explained.

No, I can do this. I can definitely do this. I haven't gone through all those things in my life just to be blocked by daddy losing his memories and becoming sleeping beauty. "For now, I'll do more reasearch and..." Lucas trailed off.

"I can do that part!" I said, poking Lucas's arm. He then stopped for a moment, "What?" He asked. The World Tree is really helpful, I can use it for anything!

I sat up, so I was looking at his whole face. "It's because dad got caught up into my mana explosion that he hurt himself and lost his memories." I explained, pausing for a moment to catch my breath.

"So if I directly use the World Tree, I can do it!" I continued. Lucas looked curious, so he neared my face. "How do you know that?" He asked.

I smirked, "Your're right, how do I know that?" I said jokingly, faking that I don't know the answer of why I know. "Ah, oh yeah! When I met the World Tree, it told me about that method." I said.

That very same tree even told me what the 'last visitor' did to it. The 'last visitor' took a branch from it, and even almost set it on fire.

The tree said that it could have solved the last visitor's problems, but since they did that to the tree, it decided to screw with that visitor and play stubborn. "It's because I begged the world tree." I said.

I thought about how I wanted to help daddy feel better, and as if it was reading my thoughts, it decided to give in and tell me how.

Putting a finger on my chin, I thought for a moment. "Oh, yeah, and there's one more thing it told me." I said. The thing was, I forgot what the World Tree told me. Wow, (Y/n), you forgot the most important thing you needed to remember at that moment.
