Chapter 151
As soon as the statue appeared. Einar and Ragnar put their hands in their armor pulling out the food rations they took with them just in case and put it down at the statue before taking a knee ""O mighty God of Nature, hear our plea, We come before you with hearts heavy. In our folly, we unleashed a force untamed, And now we stand, our actions shamed. We ask for forgiveness for the damage done, For the trees felled and the battles won. In our pursuit, we lost sight of your grace, And now we seek to mend this place"
"We ask not just for ourselves but for all life, For the creatures, great and small, in strife. May your hand heal what we’ve torn asunder, And may we learn from this blunder" Einar said the prayer.
Inside Ikenga realm who felt his twin extending her power to the mortal world, he started paying attention to the forest and that was when he was met with the sight of the two humans praying to him.
He could feel the prayer and if he willed it, the forest can be restored but since this has been a tradition that took place in his sleep, Ikenga didn’t answer the prayer instead his divinity for nature responded with a hum, sending out the message to those of the cult of Ikenga specifically Aqua and Brix, who will take it upon themselves to answer the prayer.
Einar watched their rations disappear into dots of green lights that gathered before blooming into a huge green portal, where a huge treant walked out from. Nothing was said by the treant, only that it extended its hand as the forest around began healing itself soon everything was back to normal.
Einar and Ragnar watched as the treant walked back into the portal again as it closed and disappeared. "I guess that one is done," Ragnar said to his father.
"Indeed" Einar said as he watched the soldiers gather the bodies of Olaf minions, tapping his son’s shoulder, Einar said "Let’s go"
Olaf meanwhile has already left the silver kingdom territory as he reverted back to his human form but steam can be seen leaving his mouth as he growled like a caged beast, his body was jerking back to the forest and go wild and kill but his human side is fighting back that urge as he knew that he was outnumbered.
It took a while before he calmed down as he weakly but steadily walked back to their settlement, he had to report back to Björn on his failure.
