Description:
Thought to be cast-off splinters of Yggdrasil, the World Tree. Yggdrasti looks like gigantic, dead trees covered with barnacles. They fly through Outerspace and the Astral Sea with their topmost branches leading the way and their withered roots trailing behind them.
Suspects that the roots have their own semi-plane and biosphere.
It has an innate hatred of living things.
--------------
Slifer was stunned. He never expected to see a chipped part of Yggdrasil, the world tree, here.
He was just curious why there is a big dead tree in the rainforest.
And now he stands before one of the most special lifeforms in the cosmos. Well, an independent part of it.
Few dragons in the astral plane have seen it, so the information is not so detailed.
What's known is that Yggdrasil is a cosmic plane-spanning tree that linked the many Material Planes through the Astral Plane to the Outer Planes.
So it is one of the shortest and safest ways to travel in the cosmos.
Thus, the tree has space-related abilities and properties that enable it and others to live in the cosmos.
Even knowing this, it doesn't do me any good right now. I should be concentrating on myself. I need to grow up quickly and become stronger. The mortality rate for dragons is highest in the Wyrmling phase.
As soon as I grow up I can try to communicate with the tree, maybe I will have the certain skills then.
Slifer was very surprised and even excited at first, but he has other things going on.
He looked at the tree one last time, remembered the position of the tree, and flew away.
He flew over the clouds along the cliff and landed at the entrance to his lair.
He turns toward the rainforest and surveys the landscape.
'A new world, unknown and mysterious, I can't wait to explore it.'
Slifer is excited, he wants to travel to all the lands, save beautiful princesses in distress, and see all kinds of creatures. An adventure is in store for him.
But he has to be strong and for that he needs time.
Slifer turns back and floats into the cave.

"Hans, I'm sorry but it is impossible to bring Miss Birdclaw on this trip. She is the only daughter and heir to the Earl. If she was hurt we all would probably be beheaded."
Uncle Bernd says with a twitching eye.
"I know Uncle Benrd. But you know how stubborn she sometimes is. I had to ask. She probably sulks in her room. I'm just glad she gave me the map back."
Hans looks at the map and lifts his head towards the island.
'Just a little while.'
He was excited. He has been waiting for this day for a long time.
"Captain, we are approaching the island. should we get closer and anchor on the coast in the south or paddle straight to the island with the small boat?"
One of the subordinates from Uncel Bernd asks.
"In the east the water is deeper and there are no rocks in the water on the coast, but we want to be back on the boat before nightfall, so get as close as possible and we paddle with the boat to the island."
Uncel Bernd commands and look to Hans
"Are you ready?"
Hans has a resolute look in his eyes.
"Yes, Uncle."
"Hans, Mister Bernd you can't leave me out!"
Just as Hans and Uncle Benrd were getting ready for the trip to the island, a loud girl's voice interrupted them.
"Anna!?"
"Miss Birdclaw!?"
Both were shocked and speechless.
"What are you doing here Miss? How did you board the ship?"
Uncel Bernd was angry and even more clueless.
He saw every Person who board the ship. It was impossible to smuggle without his notice.
"Hahah it was easy! I just had to hide in one of the barrels."
She was elated that she could trick the people and smuggle herself on the ship. It was like one of the stories she read.
"Dammit, who is responsible for the cargo? Didn't you notice a girl?!
Uncek Bernd roared to the people on the ship. It was a problem that someone could sneak into the ship without him knowing.
"Captain, I checked all the barrels and they were all normal."
Stutters one young man, with a drooping head.
"You scrub the deck until I see my reflection in it, understand?"
"Aye, Captain!"
"And what should we do about you now?"
"Anna, why did you follow us?"
Hans is very concerned. He doesn't want to stop now but he couldn't trouble Uncel Bernd.
Uncel Bernd was the Captain and responsible for all the people on the ship.
The responsibility of a captain is immense. One wrong decision by him could mean the demise of the crew. And now that the earl's daughter is on the ship, this burden is many times greater.
'Should I go back and bring her to the Earl?'
Uncel Bernd thought to bring her back, but then the trip would be in vain and every trip to the sea is costly.
'The salvage should take only 2-3 hours. And I'm a level 3 Aura Warrior, plus the three level 2 Warriors in the team, it shouldn't be dangerous if she follows.'
"Okay, Miss Birdclaw.-"
"Please call me Annabeth!" She interrupts.
"Ähem, Miss Annabeth, I hope you know that we are currently on a mission. There are risks so I hope that you follow my orders for the time being. I would like to send a message back to the City, to inform your father that you are on my boat. I'm sure that half the city is searching for you. After we have located the objects we are looking for and transported them to the ship, we head back to the city."
"Aey Captain!"
Everybody on the ship responds, even Annabeth imitates them.
'I hope nothing happens.'
Hans and Uncle Bernd thought to themselves.
