After a long journey in the forest, Asha takes the road to Quetzacóatl. However, the latter, very furious that she disobeyed his orders, explains to her the consequences of her actions.
During this discussion, they are taken by surprise by a stone colossus. Fortunately, they are rescued by the guard Lévi.
Asha recognizes him as Leviathan, elemental guardian of water.
With an icy look, Levi asks: What is a human doing here?
Asha was frozen by Quetzacóatl's gaze.
Asha: (Her gaze is filled with hatred)
Quetzacóatl said to him:
Quetzacóatl: We are sorry, we did not intend to disturb you.
Levi: Hmm
Quetzacóatl: We will leave immediately.
But Asha objected.
Asha: No, not at all.
Then Quetzacóatl challenged him severely.
Quetzacóatl: Could you stop bothering me? If we stay here, we risk suffering the consequences.
Asha: So, I'm ready to face the consequences.
She approached Levi and said to him:
Asha: Great Elemental Guardian Levi, I don't understand why you despise humans so much. To be honest, I don't understand why you are so hostile towards humanity.
She tilted her head and continued:
Asha: Please, just this once, one last time...
Levi: ...
Asha: Can you lend us your strength?
Lévi: I don't see the point.
Quetzacóatl: (I warned you)
Lévi: The disappearance of humans is indifferent to me.
Asha was frozen by his gaze.
Lévi: Listen, take this human and disappear from the forest.
Quetzacóatl: (He hasn't changed)
Asha: I don't understand.
Levi: Oh!
Asha: The creator designed the elemental guardians to help humanity rid themselves of demons, so why does one of these guardians harbor so much hatred towards human beings?
Levi: Leave.
Asha: I want answers. A long time ago, you were seized by a black anger that could have destroyed everything. Despite this, humans have forgiven you. So why...
Levi: Shut up.
Asha: Oh!
Lévi: Individuals have not evolved, only power interests them.
Asha: But...
Lévi: Look, I'm in a good mood today so don't push it too far. It's clear that I won't surprise you near this forest again.
Quetzacóatl, sighing, declared:
Quetzacóatl: Let's go.
Asha: No, out of the question.
She positioned herself in front of Levi, looking him straight in the eyes.
Asha: I wish you understood that not all humans are the same. I'm not particularly interested in your powers, but humanity needs you...
Suddenly, the stone colossus returned to the charge; Asha screamed in fear.
Quetzacóatl: There he is again.
He was out of control, Quetzacóatl tried to stop him, but Lévi intervened.
Levi: Gaia, stop.
Under the sound of her voice, he calmed down and collapsed to the ground.
Quetzacóatl stopped easily.
Asha: It's incredible.
Levi approached Gaia and spoke comforting words to her.
Levi: Don't worry. I won't allow anyone to hurt you.
Asha was surprised to hear what Levi had called the stone colossus.
Asha: Gaia!
So this stone colossus is Gaia.
Quetzacóatl: Yes, that’s right.
Asha: However, Gaia is known as the elemental guardian of the earth, she is described as a young woman with dark skin and ebony hair. It is even said that she is at the origin of all the cults of the mother goddess embodying the earth and fertility. She is also said to have taught humanity about agriculture.
Quetzacóatl: Everything you say is true, but Gaia lost her humanity a long time ago.
Asha: It's impossible.
Lévi: However, it is very true.
Asha: Oh!
Levi: This stone colossus is indeed the elemental guardian of the earth Gaia, this is what humans are capable of.
Asha: It's impossible, humans couldn't have done that.
Levi: Do you really think humans are blameless? Do you really believe that they are faithful to the cults of the mother goddess?
Asha: Indeed, we express our gratitude to the elemental guardians for driving demons from our lands.
Levi: If that's the case, why did you let this insane mage destroy Gaia's personality forever?
Asha: Oh!
