There was no time to spare and so we divided as soon as our new searching group climbed back to the hill above the lake. Taehyun led Soobin on the path he came from, while the special duo followed me on my route back to the meadow - I thought it would be the best to start where I last saw the light fairy.

I was good at orientation in forests, but the butterflies were distracting me too much before. Therefore I ended up squatting almost every ten meters to touch the tree roots and peer into their echoes to see if they remember my footsteps and to make sure we're going the right way. 

After a few times when they had to stop behind me suddenly, my companions probably stopped liking it and began to lose their patience. 

"Don't you have something that carries his essence? Something to help me seek his energy?" 

I discontinued my eager stalking and turned to face the angel, whose eyes looked a little irritated that I wasn't using his potential so far. I was just too immersed into my own, since the moment my senses and spirit grew stronger after meeting my parents. 

Kai's essence? I sucked on my lower lip and looked aside thinking about it. 

"You know... something to do some quality woodoo with." 

I looked back with my expression slightly judging Hyunjin's pantomime of playing with a puppet. 

"Don't listen to him," Felix sighed and his chocolate eyes became even darker and deeper. 

"Hach," I just chuckled, playing with the zipper of my hoodie, then put my hands into its pockets, "unlike us, Kai is mostly an angel bringing pure love... secondary a starlight fairy. He would be probably the most shinning spot in any world we would enter." 

With that answer, I carefully took out the horned stuffed animal from my pocket. It was the one that Kai left to me back then, so I wouldn't worry about him and Taehyun. After adoring at it for a while and caressing it with my tumb, I reached out to the angel with it. 

Felix took it into his surprisingly small hands, as if some very fragile artifact. He exchanged a look with Hyunjin before turning it back at me. 

"To be honest... I'm not sure why, but it's not this angel nor the boy carrying the star fire who's aura shines the most..." 

"It's you," Hyunjin stated pointing at me with his hand. 

What? Me? It took me by surprise. How could it be me? 

"That's how we found you. We just escorted Changbin here, when I suddenly noticed the madly twinkling light of your lifeline," continued the angel of death. 

"Is that why you appeared right next to me?" I wondered. 

"We thought your life was in danger, but we found you rescuing that mad water fairy instead." 

"I haven't seen any drowning one yet," Hyunjin mumbled with a soft chuckle, as he kind of innocently observed the plushie as well. 

Mad water fairy... indeed. I clenched my fists and my jaw trembled again as I recalled the fear that filled me when I feared for Soobin's life. 

"He must be very important to you," the angel's empathic words and soothing voice brought me back to the present. 

I shook off the unpleasant terrible feeling and nodded. 

"That madman is more than that... I'm a dryad in the blood of the ancient tribes... that big part of me found love in him," I grinned and slid my hand down my neck.
