Chapter 224 Small tree
The dragon looked at Anthony with seriousness as he continued his tale: "I told you that for a dryad to be born, it needs a strong essence of life, but it wasn't always so difficult. In the past, dryads existed in great numbers, coexisting with the Nature Elves and the Earth Elves. The three races lived around a great tree, unique in this world.
It was very tall and large, occupying about 500 kilometers of land just for the trunk. Its leaves were beautiful, crystals of dark or light green, and its trunk was brown with large veins through which flowed the essence of life. It was a world tree, unique of its kind."
The dragon paused for a moment, lost in its memories. Then it continued with a somber expression: "But then came the war. In the midst of chaos, a forbidden ritual was performed that violated all laws. They contaminated the tree, corrupted it, and desecrated it. Its pure essence turned black, the tree trembled, and began to crumble.@@@@
Its branches fell from the sky, and its fruits, which used to be pure elixirs, turned black and corrupted. These fruits were the most potent in the world, capable of extending life by a thousand years and purifying the soul. But now they were corrupted."
It continued gravely, "All the dryads were also corrupted, from the adults to the children. Their souls were bound to the tree and suffered the same fate. It was a catastrophe, a massacre. Our forces faltered, and the world tree trembled even more. In its final moment before being completely corrupted, it is said that the mother of all things, the living being that was the tree, expelled a seed."
"After the war, everyone sought the seed. The High Elves, beings of great power and seers from all over the world, said that that seed was another world tree, son or daughter of the mother tree. For countless years, people from all corners dedicated themselves to the search, but they could never find it. There were no signs, no clues to the whereabouts of this seed. The search continues to this day.

"Are you sure about this?" hesitant, Crystal asked, as she looked at an extremely beautiful woman with golden hair and eyes. The woman's eyes sparkled with love as she watched the small plant sleeping. She smiled tenderly, "Yes, after all, she needed to go out and play a bit," she said with a maternal smile.
After a moment of reflection, she added, "I never imagined the young dragon had a fairy," her eyes sparkled with excitement. She had searched for those tiny beings for a long time, but she had never been lucky enough to find them in her vast forest.
"Now I understand why she grasped all magical concepts so quickly," Athena commented, her brow furrowed slightly. She too was surprised by this revelation. "Her petals changed color upon receiving the blessing of the little fairy," added a resonant male voice from behind. Seated on a chair was the emperor of the empire, Gabriel, whose eyes also sparkled as he watched the tiny fairy.
"The dryad's soul has grown a little more," Seraphine affirmed, feeling it through her connection with her third daughter.
Gabriel looked at Crystal knowingly, "It seems the little tree wanted to go out and have some fun too," he commented with a small smile. Crystal blushed slightly, "The dryad said she wanted to join in too," she replied. Like the dryad, the little world tree also had its own thoughts, behaving like a child.
"It's growing magnificently, but it's better to place more crystals around it," Seraphine suggested as she watched the little tree. "I have some crystals in this ring," she said, handing them to Seraphine. The latter nodded and examined the screen, where the girls seemed to be chatting cheerfully among themselves.
"The two chosen ones also met the young dragon, interesting," she commented with a mysterious smile.
