20. Fera's Field

The next day, Ella, Erin and Sheila arrived at Fera's field, which was somewhat near Cracle's volcano. The field was green with long grass, bright flowers, and tall trees surrounding it, however, in the centre was a glowing light, which was over a magic flower: the giant cherry blossom, but it was closed up instead of open. "It must be that time of season where it just doesn't open," Erin said. "The giant cherry blossom flower doesn't have a 'special season' which makes it open," replied Sheila. "it just has a special magical lock that keeps it closed unless you use the correct and unique spell to open it. Tina gave me her books on Crystilville and I read it on the page about Fera's field." "So do you know the spell to open it?" Erin asked. "Yes," replied Sheila, then going on to explain it. "It's called 'Season's awakening', the ancient nature protector of Crystilville made it herself. You have to get different items of the forest, Lilifer Woods, and then use a magical enchantment and reciting to use enough force to open it." "That's sounds like a spell that needs a lot of concentration to do, but if it's to find the 3rd crystal moon, then I'm in for a challenge!" exclaimed Ella.

"What?!" Erin gasped in a dramatic way. "we're going to go into that enchanted forest thing and get our hands dirty finding woodland items?!" "No, we're not," Sheila replied calmly. "I can bring them to use with an attraction spell." She clapped her hands, and then summoned some objects: Pinecones, flowers, reeds and sticks. "That's it?" Ella said, confused. "They may be ordinary items, but they belong to the power of mother nature," Sheila explained, walking towards the bud, Ella, Erin and the objects following her. Sheila knelt down before the bud and said to the others "I can sense the lock's prism here, I have to concentrate now." She used her power to perform the spell. "Guardian of Goddess and Guardian Fera of grass, I, Sheila of Roselilly, come here to seek the answer to a question: to find the 3rd crystal moon. So here I bring you energy from the forest! Season's awakening!" The energy from the spell started to open the bud, the girls' eyes widening, when suddenly, a stronger force stopped the energy and the items fell to the ground.

"Put the items DOWN," a voice then came afterwards. Out stepped a woman from the forest: she had short grey-lilac hair slicked to her left shoulder with dark green tips blended in, wore a black long-sleeved dress with a wide miniskirt, black knee-high boots, dirty pink eyes with thin pupils and held a long golden staff with the tip shaped like a bud. "Albetsy?!" Ella yelled. "Yes, it's me, dear child!" she cackled. "and the fun has only just begun!"...
