The garden didn't look different from the beginning, but when the roots emerged from the ground piercing my back to suck my blood and Layla put her hands on the ground causing a flower to be born on her back from where a red mist comes out spreading through the environment.

It was at that moment that the landscape distorts, the flowers in the garden move on their own, forming an arch of flowers that reveals a tunnel wrapped in flowers from the inside that cannot be seen from the outside.

At that moment a column of light of many colors appears before the energy disperses into the environment causing the healing energy to disappear.

When that happened I saw some of the trees in the garden deform as it grew into a large tree with crystal leaves with a thick stroke made of many of those trees together.

The tree opens its trunk revealing itself to be hollow inside, at that moment the roots were coming out of my back and Layla had become a sphere of energy with a flower on top that floated towards this big tree.

I walked behind her and when I entered I saw two crystal statues, one on each side facing each other, one of the statues was of the Goddess of Fairies, Aine.

The second statue was still not defined, it seemed to be still forming, the two statues were glowing and a Light comes from the Fairy Goddess Statue hitting the energy sphere where Layla was.

Soon the flower at the top of the sphere began to glow as its petals were crystallizing, it was at this time that the sphere was increasing in size as well as the flower at the top.

When the sphere was already 2 meters in diameter the flower at the top which is now much bigger than at the beginning was completely crystallized with each petal glowing in a different color.

"I'll allow her to remain in a contract with you, after all, I don't think it's possible to convince her otherwise, so remember to take good care of her." (Goddess Aine)

"But what..." (I)

"Ssshhhhh!" (Goddess Aine)

"She's coming back and I have to go see you later kid." (Goddess Aine)

Suddenly the Fairy Goddess appeared at my side and when I turned towards her surprised to hear her voice not in my mind but with my ears, at a glance I saw that the place where the statue was disappeared leaving an empty altar in her place.

I wanted to know why she was there, but she cuts my words off by diverting my attention to Layla and disappears walking towards the altar with her statue returning in place as her body disappears. I saw what she did but didn't have time to think about it, my main focus was on Layla right now.

She was coming out from inside the Flower at the top of the sphere, meanwhile, I noticed that the sphere under the Flower which is made of crystal is now getting smaller little by little, I see one hand after another come out from the middle of the Flower up to a maximum of 6 hands followed by her arms until finally, her upper body rises as if she is getting up from the bed, her body begins to float pulling her legs from inside the Crystal Flower, her eyes still closed as her body bends leaving her back up while flower petals with many different colors come from the garden outside the tree to float around Layla before joining together but her back forming 2 pairs of wings having flower petals instead of feathers.

Layla now had black skin like the Fairy Goddess, but her hair was vibrant blood red like mine, she had a crown made of crystallized flowers forming above her head while each of her hands carried a flower-looking ring drawn.

When Layla opens her eyes I see that she has the same eyes as me, one is golden and the other is purple, her size is no longer that of a child's doll but having the height of a person in her teens, she seems to measure 1.55 meters tall now.

As soon as she opened her eyes, the sphere under the Flower she left had disappeared and the crystal flower crumbled into dust that was absorbed by the second statue, taking the current form of Layla.

"Now I'm a Fairy Queen... Zzzzzz..." (Layla)

She started to speak with great dignity before losing consciousness and snoring, I had to move quickly to grab her before she fell to the ground.

"Careless as usual, but that look..." (I)

Sigh

I couldn't make dengue sigh anymore now, many of Layla's facial features remain, but it was as if her beauty had been greatly enhanced leaving her with an appearance that reveals sweetness, dignity, gentleness, and goodness.

"Literally a wolf in sheep's clothing, I feel sorry for anyone fooled by that appearance." (I)

Layla is so mean, playful, and genocidal that she easily becomes the biggest of my worries often, this appearance is the exact opposite of her personality to the point of being almost a joke with a double meaning.

"Lord Zenos, leave the Queen to me, you must be tired."

From a shadow comes a Fairy with a black dress and without wings, I could only confirm that she was a Fairy because of her Aura, she was approximately 1.68 meters tall, for some reason I knew she had Affinity with the pure elements Darkness, Space and Wood.

"Thank you, take care of her..." (I)

"I'm happy to take care of her."

This Fae still doesn't have a name, it seems that both Faeries and Spirits have a tradition of taking a name from their first Contractors, so I refrain from naming anyone, it's not as if a name is as important as it used to be for me, thanks to the Auras and interaction with the Auras I can identify someone without having to look at their appearance or listen to their voice, each Aura is so unique that it makes the DNA tests of my previous world a legend of the time.

I look at the Fairy who stretches her arms as she bends her body to my height and passes Layla to her before walking outside to take one last look at the statue of the Fairy Goddess.

I go inside feeling a little dizzy, the loss of blood first with Nix and then with Layla isn't too much of a problem for me, even considering the amount of blood that would fill two Olympic size swimming pools that came out of my body, something funny considering my small size.

What weakened me was the vitality being sucked out of me along with the blood, I didn't notice it at first, but now it's too obvious to miss.

I was so distracted by Nix and Layla due to my connection with them, I just let a lot of things slide starting with the system notification noises that I didn't hear at all, but now I can see the various minimized windows in the corner of my mind.

I'll see that for another time, right now all I want is something yummy to eat followed by my bed.

--------------

Later that night I was woken up by a punch from Layla followed by something put in my mouth, when I opened my eyes it was a really good sandwich, it seems I was sleeping so soundly that when they tried to wake me up nothing worked and they decided to try something more drastic, Layla knew I would be angry and used the sandwich to calm me down afterwards.

After leaving an unconscious Layla on the bed I went to see how the others were doing, it seems that everyone was fine, I also went to look for Nix for a doubt that I only realized later and spent some time talking to her about it.

"You mean there's been a lot of changes to her body and she also has a crown?" (I)

"Yes, but that's just my real body, my Human form comes from a Transformation Skill, it won't change that easily." (Nix)

"My body should now reach 800 meters, not counting the strength I possess as a Dragon." (Nix)

"This is wonderful, I was very focused on the condition of you two and I ended up missing these things, especially you since you were the first one I went to see." (I)

"After taking care of Layla, I noticed the lack of changes in her body and the lack of a crown, after all, a Temple, whether of the Spirits or the Fairies, needs its Respective King from what I've been told, and also from what I've seen so far." (I)

While I was talking to Nix on the roof of the mansion inside the Dungeon, someone flew in and landed in front of us, it was Nicole.

"Do you have time to talk now?" (Nicole)

"I was talking to Nix, but do you have something to talk about?" (I)

"I have something to tell you, Father." (Nicole)

"I don't think it's very important, but I've been told more than once that I don't have the ability to judge things correctly, so I have to leave it in the hands of the right person." (Nicole)

"Since you are the leader, the most logical thing is to give any kind of new information to you, Father." (Nicole)

"And what information is that?" (I)
