"I'll go and check," Isaac said.
"I'll come with you," Celia replied.
Isaac nodded and stepped closer before lifting her into a princess carry. Celia wrapped an arm around his neck as a pair of wings emerged from his back. His control over Partial Phasing had improved significantly, allowing him to instantly expand the wings through his clothes without tearing them. What once required careful preparation had become second nature to him.
With a thought, he opened the window using Telekinesis. The two of them left the mansion moments later and flew into the sky. The Tree of Harmony wasn't far away, so the trip took less than a few seconds.
Isaac landed beside the tree and immediately looked upward. The Tree of Harmony possessed three branches, and each branch had originally carried three golden leaves. Now, however, the final branch held only one leaf. Two leaves had disappeared.
"When were those leaves consumed?" Celia asked as she stepped beside him.
