The Elf Forest seemed to come alive all at once, with bird songs, the murmuring of trees, and the sound of flowing water joining in the elves' grand chorus. All the natural elves clearly expressed one idea with their voices: even if their Tree of Life withers, this song will never cease, and neither will this battle.
The sound traveled far, seemingly propelled by some magical force towards the clouds, reaching the heavens. Lynch and Kuboert, at the Residual Star Swamp, heard it clearly as well.
They were now hidden behind the trees at the edge of the wetland, keeping their bodies as low as possible. Though Kuboert, soaking in a puddle, complained about the black mud staining his Holy Robe, he quietly endured it upon seeing the same stains on Lynch's Mage Robe.
