Magical Force

Part 2: The wanderer

As one contemplates their own existence, it becomes increasingly evident that the affliction of suffering is a fundamental aspect of our human condition - a harsh realization that unveils the harsh truth that genuine and unwavering affection shall forever elude one's grasp. Such was the solemn sentiment that reverberated within the chambers of Hyein's cerebral faculties as she traversed the enchanting arboreal expanse that surrounded her with an air of mysticism.
The sylvan depths were resounding with jubilant voices and enchanting melodies, thus attracting the notice of Hyein, who beheld a mystical being in the form of a fairy.

"A human! I never saw fully humans in years! I love your crown, little girl! Where did you get it?!"
The ethereal fairy being inquired with great enthusiasm, meandering about the vicinity of Princess Hyein.
"I- My dad gave it to me."
Hyein discretely utters in a state of apprehension, caused by the abrupt movement and sudden presence of the ethereal and fantastical being.
"I love it! How much did it worth? You might be rich! You know, i love shining things! By the way, my name is Eunchae!"
The mystical being, in a state of heightened enthusiasm, reiterates her statement, evidently identifying herself as Eunchae.
"I'm... Princess Hyein. And... I don't know my crown's worth."
Hyein faltered vulnerably in her speech, her gaze directed skyward towards the ethereal visage of the resplendent and dainty fairy fluttering through the air.
"Aww, shucks... Wait, princess, you say? You're a princess? Oh, sorry for being that excited, my majesty!"
Upon alighting from her ethereal steed, the fairy named Eunchae swiftly uttered her words with a mixture of trepidation and exhilaration, her demeanor marked by a certain degree of apprehension as she gingerly placed her dainty feet upon the earth and reverentially inclined her body in a gesture of deferential respect.
"No need to bow, Eunchae! By the way you're very pretty."
Hyein averred, her countenance adorned with a gracious smile, thus imparting her sentiment.
"Aha, says the princess! Thank you... I'm a fairy and i belong to Emvi land with other beautiful fairies! We also have gnomes! What are you doing in this forest?"
Eunchae inquires as to the nature of the matter at hand.
"I was just... Curious of what's deep in the forest. Can't say that i'm disappointed, though..."
Hyein mumbles innocently.
Spontaneously, an seismic event initiates, leading to the commencement of an earthquake. Hyein emitted an audible exhalation of astonishment and trepidation, conveying a sudden and profound sense of unease and alarm.

A multitude of colossal gnomes make their presence known, revealing an ironic juxtaposition as gnomes are traditionally recognized as diminutive beings in stature.
"Gnomes...?"
Hyein inquires, with an air of astonishment permeating her vocal inflection.
"Gnomes! Aren't they cute?"
The enchanting pixie Eunchae inquires with fervent anticipation.
"I mean... Sure... But why are they so huge?"
Hyein finds herself contemplating the matter with great curiosity.

"Ah well, this is a magic forest! In this forest, everything happening is impossible in the other world..."
Eunchae utters.
With a palpable air of ennui, Hyein exhales in a resonant manner, her thoughts embroiled in speculation regarding the aesthetic composition of an alternate realm.
"I wonder how's the other realm like."
In a fervent display of emotional perturbation, Hyein vociferates whilst directing her gaze downwards towards the terrestrial plane.
"Dear..."
Eunchae gently places her delicate and elegant hand upon the firm and sturdy shoulder of Hyein.
"The other world is bad... Full of pain and suffering... I have been there."
Eunchae unequivocally avows and affirms.
"If i had to describe it in one word... It would be death..."
