The warrior shook his head. "Not yet, Chief. We'll need at least a week since this is the first time something like this is being constructed," he responded.
"Make it quick," the Village Chief urged, understanding that everyone still believed these flying contraptions were a gift from Naka. "And when it's ready, be sure to deliver the news to me immediately," he added before transforming into his green owl form and taking to the sky.
Observing the Chief's hastening retreat, the warrior's shoulders slumped in relief and exhaustion. He couldn't help but ponder how troublesome things were becoming in the village.
Nonetheless, fully aware that he couldn't afford to waste even a moment, the warrior immediately turned to signal his fellow warriors without uttering a word.
Then, immediately, he turned and left, knowing that delivering the Chief's command was his top priority now.

Within the mountain
The Prismerian kingdom
At this point, I was getting exhausted just from gazing at the tree as it radiated with a pulsing light. Mrs. Merisela had already left, as she had some pressing matters to, attend to leaving me alone with Madam Seraphina.
"Hmm?" I noticed something out of the corner of my eye. As I looked again, I saw several small points of light flickering among the trees and behind some of the gemstones, as if they were attempting to conceal their presence but failing miserably.
Spotting them once more, I immediately turned my attention to Madam Seraphina, who was seated nearby with her eyes closed and legs crossed, as if she were in deep meditation. In her grasp, she held a blue crystal that emitted a soft, gentle glow.
"Did you see that?" I immediately asked, watching as she opened her eyes and scanned our surroundings. Although my eyes briefly lingered on her well-defined waist and panties, now fully visible due to her seated posture, I quickly averted my gaze back to the lights.
Suddenly, the lights flashed in our direction, followed by several more, all of them quickly darting behind trees as if attempting to hide from us. I turned my attention to Madam Seraphina, certain that she had also witnessed this.
She stood up from the ground, leaving the blue crystal behind, its glow slightly dimmed. As she adjusted her attire, ensuring her panties were properly exposed, she looked at me and said, "Their presence indicates it's time for us to leave."
"Who?" I asked immediately, my curiosity aroused. I didn't want to leave Saria alone, especially when something seemed to be happening to her inside that tree.
Madam Seraphina gave me a wry smile and replied, "I'm afraid I won't be able to tell you who they are."
She turned and started walking away. "But if you're concerned about them harming your friend, don't worry, because they won't. So, come on, let's get going unless you want to stay and potentially put your friend in danger with your presence."
As the light stopped a few meters away from me, with more of them gathering behind the tree where it had halted, I glanced once more at the tree where Saria was located.
I shook my head tiredly, got up from my seat on the ground, and followed Madam Seraphina out of the farm. Placing my blind trust in her words was risky, but it was an option I held onto for Saria's sake.
The journey back to my room took the same amount of time as before, with only a few seconds more, but this time it felt a bit more comfortable as there were no guards following us. Madam Seraphina led me to my room.
When we arrived, I noticed that Valeria and Thoren had already left. Madam Seraphina also prepared to leave after informing me that some fruits would be served for me to eat later.
However, just as she turned around to leave, I immediately called out to her, "Madam Seraphina?"
"Yes," she responded, turning her head to look at me as she halted her steps.
"I've been curious about what you've been wearing," I said, carefully choosing my words. With the Saria situation partially handled and awaiting results, I thought it might help ease my mind by exploring how far I could delve into understanding Prismerian customs.
"Oh!" Madam Seraphina turned around to face me more directly, her gaze briefly falling on my tulga, before returning to meet my eyes.
She nodded in understanding and replied, "I can certainly see why you're curious. So, what is it that you want to know?"
Focusing my gaze downwards, particularly below her waist, I carefully framed my words and asked, "Where I come from, we don't usually have what you're wearing around your waist. Would it be possible for me to take a closer look at it?" This question was influenced by the near-trouble I had gotten into with Valeria.
Madam Seraphina looked confused by my question. She extended her hand and placed it on her blue, glistening panties. "This," she said, following my gaze, "Are you referring to my panties?"
I nodded slowly in response, studying her reaction.
Contrary to my expectations, Madam Seraphina exhaled and bent down, slowly dragging her panties downward, one foot after the other, until they came off completely. She then threw the panties in my direction, saying, "You can have these; I have more that I can wear at home."
As I caught the unbelievably soft underwear in my hands, I watched in amazement as she continued, "I've just given you a very expensive material. It could fetch you enough wealth to buy food for several days, so be sure not to lose it once you've had a good look."
With that, she turned around and walked out of the door, closing it behind her.
Though I was unable to get a look at her narrow pussy, obtaining a freshly worn pair of underwear was an unexpected and interesting turn of events.
Tightening my grip around it, I spread the underwear outwards with both my hands, then slowly brought it closer to my face. As the scent wafted into my nose, I realized it was something unique. Regardless, I carefully wrapped the panties back around my hand and sat down on the bed, pulling up my tulga to expose my veiny penis.
Just as I was about to proceed...
"CRASHH!!"
My head immediately snapped in the direction of the sound, and my eyes widened as I saw who the culprit was.
