"What is the basis of the Nature Path?" Rui asked with a curious expression. "Why do you have the power to manipulate and control nature?"

The elderly dark elf had expected the question. "We evolved flora sensitivity and communication. Our ancestors from eons ago found refuge in the flora of nature. We cultivate the power to communicate with and control nature."

After that we harmonize with nature in the Hymn of Mind and Soul in a process that takes centuries. Then and only then do we fuse our bodies with nature in the Singularity of Flora. We fuse with our respective Divine Trees."

Rui’s eyes widened with shock.
