Cady asked, "So where are we going exactly?" Katie replied, "Well, we are going to Zenroot and she will tell us the way to Azeron and give us other things too." Cady was confused and so she asked yet another question "Who is this Zenroot?" Katie sighed which made Cady a bit furious, she thought- Just like Anthony!

She then replied "Zenroot is a renowned herbalist of the Imaginarium and she is ready to help anyone in need. She lives right there, on the top of the hill!" She pointed towards the hill, which was quite far away and Cady was already getting tired. Many rabbits with small blue wings were running around and few of them even hovered around Cady, and Katie was feeling jealous of the affection of the animals towards Cady, the one who is really very new. Cady started to like this world, she loved the smell of the wet mud near the waterfall, and the enchanting animals, the beautiful flowers ( Her most favorite was the 'Canvas Flower' ).

After a long trek, they finally reached Zenroot's house, Katie knocked on her door and an old lady opened the door. She had white hair, and blue eyes and she held a bunch of herbs in her hand. Katie smiled and said "Hello, I'm Katie and this is my friend, Cady, we are here..." She was interrupted by Zenroot, she said "Come inside and tell me more...not here! I have old legs, they hurt, sit inside and tell me everything...um...Cady, right?" she asked pointing towards Cady and she nodded, Zenroot examined her and then nodded as a signal for them to come inside. Katie felt hurt, and the feeling of envy grew even more inside her. Zenroot's house was filled with herbs, creepers, climbers, mysterious but mesmerizing plants, portions, and thick books. Her house's light was just right, neither too glaring nor too dim. Small pots from which tendrils of colorful hues came out were placed all around the house. Zenroot sat on her red armchair with golden lining and pointed towards the two chairs in front of her armchair for Katie and Cady to sit. Katie said "Our families have the genes of this world but they lived in a different world. We came from that world to here in search of her parents" She pointed towards Cady, Zenroot nodded slowly and Katie continued "Her mother died here and so she is no more in our world, but her father is still alive and stuck here..." Cady interrupted "You didn't tell me why my father is stuck here?" Katie sighed and then replied "Liam is stuck here because of Taurus. He is not letting Liam use his powers to go back to our world...Taurus used some sort of spell to do so.." Zenroot said "So, you two girls have the genes of this world and so came here looking for Cady's father using the powers, her mother is dead but her father isn't but he can't return to your world because Taurus is stopping him from doing so using some kind of magic spell? If Taurus is stopping her father from returning to your world then her father is very special, or her family...what was his name again?" Katie said softly, barely a whisper "Liam Acker." Zenroot got up and began looking for some book, she took out a thick book from the bookshelf and sat on her armchair again. Upon opening the book, she was taken aback. Zenroot looked at Cady and then she said "You. You are the 'Enchantress' !" Cady was confused and Katie said, "No, she is not!" Zenroot suspiciously looked at Katie and then asked "Who are your parents?" Katie gulped and then said softly "Anthony Anderson and Carol Anderson." Everything fell silent. Cady broke the silence by asking "What is going on?"
