@@I"m really glad I forced myself to memorize the map of the territory. Hypocrite sweeps by as I give him directions. I continuously blink to try to make out the fuzzy path in front of me and to not lose conscious, which I feel is going to happen very soon. I really should have forced myself to hug Leopard.

That was a mistake on my part. Once again, I was too careless. I should make a to-do list. The first thing on that list is to be less dumb.

I force myself to keep my eyes open as I half-consciously say to Hypocrite," Hurry, faster." I dont want to push him more than he can bare, but I"m really hanging by a thread here. Forgive me this once Hypocrite, I"ll treat you to some cake. Do they have cake here?

I"m currently putting 80% of my concentration on not falling asleep and 20% of it on the directions to the main tree. Hypocrite has no idea where the tree is so I force myself to recognize the blurry scenery and point the way.

I feel myself slipping away but I desperately hold on. Hypocrite also speeds up, finally ignoring all caution. We"ll probably be spotted by someone while we"re out in the open like this. Sorry Hypocrite, but you"re going do have to somehow deal with that by yourself. I won"t be able to do anything for a while until I regain all of my energy so you"ll be on your own.

What are the punishments for intruders? Ah, but Manbun"s not here right now, so who is making the decisions? I recall Magi-kun stayed behind. He wouldn"t...also burn his enemies to death...would he? Use them as experimental guinea pig, probably. Haha. It"s been a while since I"ve seen him. I wonder if he"s eating well? Knowing him, probably not. I should talk to him one last time before I leave.

We finally reach the main tree. Blurry shades of red come into view and an even heavier sleepiness is pressed on me. Hypocrite takes me to the base of the tall tree. I reach out the touch the smooth bark. I feel my fairy body fade as my consciousness drifts away.
