"I never told her the side effects of eating the fruit. It\'s my blunder as a master. I let myself get too distracted from the crystal mana potions and the new national quests." Trish started to sift around in her bag for some things. "Drink this to reduce the fever and drink this to knock yourself out. You will get the worst fever of your life and your body is going to start to adjust to the new mana capacity. This is not a painless process." 

Trish had wanted Remey to do this when she was safely in the city so that she could be cared for while her body adapted. But due to her forgetting the warning was now about to go through the entire process on the ceremony platform. 

"We are going to need to stay here for the next hour. She will look worse and worse but I promise she will be fine. I was going to explain this but again, it is my blunder." The party was frozen on the spot while Remey followed Trish\'s orders to drink the two small vials. 

"I got you." Walker and Gil both caught Remey as the potions took effect and caused her to fall asleep standing up. They laid her down and used a blanket from Walker\'s inventory to cushion her head. 

"Why does it do this? Why doesn\'t it act peacefully if it was her mana that made it grow?" Su was worried but didn\'t have any knowledge to assist. All she could do was watch over Remey and hope that Trish gave them more answers.

"It may be her mana that caused it to grow, however, there is also a very condensed mix of elemental mana that came in to being within the fruit. It is the catalyst of the mana growth. Any living body that consumed this will be under pressure to absorb it in to every part of their body. This is painful because of the speed at which it happens. It is also why someone can only ever eat one in their entire lifetime. The seeds are very rare and even I have only managed to harvest seven in my entire life as an alchemist."

The party all breathed out heavily. They were still very worried but the fact that this would all be over in an hour was a blessing. "I guess we just need to wait. This shouldn\'t be too hard, but I think my heart nearly jumped out of my chest." Gil was trying to relax the most. The idea of his party member being in extreme pain put him on edge to no avail.

"I wish we had known. If we had we would have warned her too." Wade and the lunar priestess stood back giving them space. Wade had made sure to apologize since he knew how he would feel if one of his friends had felt this way.

"I know. Too much has been happening. We were all distracted and caught up in the moment. I don\'t blame anyone. I am just thankful everything will be fine in an hour." Walker had no sooner said this when there was the twang of a bowstring from the ground. 

Every single hair on the group\'s body rose as their senses heightened and they froze on the spot. " please just be someone testing their bow…" Gil said a silent prayer but was instead greeted by the system.

"Sierra what is the situation!" Wade moved toward the edge of the platform only to see that the enforcers were nowhere to be found. The only thing he noticed was nearby sounds of archers fighting. "It seems we have an enemy nearby. We should stay on guard and prepare."

Midnight let out a soft growl as she stood up and walked to Remey. She used her skeletal armor skill and stood directly over Remey. She opened and cupped her wings to block her from sight not letting even a single sliver of space exist. 

"Smart thinking Midnight. You will be Remey\'s exclusive guard. Su will back you up and keep watch of your back. Onyx, it\'s time to show off your size, it might deter anything coming our way." Walker was impressed by Midnight\'s quick thinking and could only attribute her actions to the feelings she had gained for Remey through their joint training.

"Walker, I see some movement. I thought it was some kind of bat heading for fruit or something. But it looks like a moth or butterfly." Gil whispered keeping his voice low, He didn\'t want to attract any more enemies than could already be near them.

"They are butterflies and moths. They compete for the nectar of the flowers that bloom during the full moon. The butterfly is called the azure butterfly since it stores its water elemental mana in its\' wings. The moth is called a twin tail moth. It has two long tails that generate two different elements based on what environment they grew up in. They are very troublesome." The lunar priestess was not a stranger to these monsters. This was the real reason that the enforcers were stationed here. They were to protect her after the ceremony when she was vulnerable.
