The duo finally reached their destination, and upon seeing their return Titania and Oberon's worried expressions turned into ones of pure joy.
Titania was the first to speak up. She had a big smile on her face as she rushed over to hug Yu. "Oh my gosh! I'm so glad you're safe! We were all so worried about you!" she exclaimed, wrapping her arms tightly around the young fairy. Yu smiled back at her, hugging her tightly. Oberon came up to her next and gave her a quick pat on the head. "To think you actually were able to find Nyancelot and bring him back to the mortal realm, it is an unheard of accomplishment Yu." he praised her. "I should have believed in your ability from the very beginning."

Nyancelot bowed his head respectfully towards them. "It is good to see you again, King Oberon, Queen Titania. I apologize for any trouble I have caused," he spoke humbly. "You are not to blame Nyancelot. We're just happy you're okay," Titania reassured him. "And besides, we owe you our gratitude. Thank you for saving Yu from harm." Nyancelot smiled slightly. "Of course. I could never abandon her. After all, she is the one who gave me a second chance at life. I will do anything in my power to protect her," he declared proudly.

Yu blushed lightly at his words. "I-I'm not that great," she muttered shyly. Yet she recalled the earlier confrontation in the sanctuary of Gaia, the rumored manifestation of the planet and the so-called destiny that was forced upon the young fairy. Would they have any information for her? Any hints or clues that could lead her to discover the true meaning behind the mysterious blood that flowed through her being?

It was a lot to take in, and a lot of information that would be difficult to explain to anyone without sounding like a raving lunatic, yet Yu knew that her adoptive Fae parents were trustworthy. She could tell them everything, and they would listen to every word she had to say. Titania noticed the conflicted look on the young fairy's face. "Yu, are you alright?" she asked, concern clear in her voice. "You seem troubled. Is there something on your mind?"

Yu hesitated for a moment before deciding to speak up. "I'm fine. Just... I learned a lot while I was gone. About myself, my origins, my powers, and even my purpose. It's a lot to process," she explained, not going into detail. "I'm sorry for making you guys worry." Titania shook her head.

"Don't be sorry. We were just concerned for your safety. That's all. But I'm glad you're alright. If you ever need to talk, we're here for you."
Yu nodded gratefully. She truly appreciated having people who cared about her. "Thank you. But for now, I think I'd like some time alone." She needed to think things through. Maybe a little bit of introspection would help her make sense of everything that had happened.
Titania smiled understandingly.

"Of course. Take as much time as you need. And remember, no matter what, we'll always love you," she assured her. Yu smiled back at her and hugged her tightly once more. "I know. And I love you too. Both of you." With that, she turned and walked away, leaving Titania and Oberon to stare after her worriedly.

After Yu had departed from the group Titania couldn't help but look at the direction that she had gone with a troubled expression on her face. "She seemed so distressed. I wonder what could be bothering her..." she mumbled to herself. Oberon put a comforting arm around her shoulders. "I'm sure she'll be alright," he said reassuringly. "She's a strong girl. Whatever is bothering her, she can handle it." Titania sighed softly and leaned into his embrace. "I hope so," she whispered.

Nyancelot was staring after the young fairy too. He was worried about her well-being. "I should go after her," he said firmly. Titania nodded. "Yes. Please do. Make sure she doesn't do anything reckless," she replied. Nyancelot bowed his head towards her. "I will. Thank you for trusting me," he spoke before running off in the same direction that Yu had left in.

As Nyancelot ran off after the young fairy Titania and Oberon exchanged glances. "I hope she will be alright..." Titania spoke softly. "She's been through so much already." Oberon nodded solemnly. "She will be fine," he assured her. "Yu is a strong girl. She'll get through this." Titania smiled slightly at his words. "You're right. She will be fine. She's your daughter after all."

The two shared a quiet moment together, both hoping that Yu would find peace within herself. Meanwhile Nyancelot had already caught up with Yu and was now walking alongside her. "Are you sure you don't want to talk to them?" he asked gently. "They seemed pretty worried about you."

Yu shook her head. "I can't burden them with this. It's my problem, and I need to deal with it on my own," she replied. Nyancelot frowned slightly. "I understand," he relented. "But please remember that you're never alone. We're here for you, and we will always support you no matter what." Yu smiled faintly. "Thank you, Nyancelot," she replied sincerely. "That means a lot to me."

"Of course. You're my friend. And friends help each other out." Yu smiled again, this time a little wider. "Yeah. Friends." The two continued walking together in silence, both lost in thought. Eventually they arrived at a small clearing where Yu stopped. "This should be far enough," she murmured to herself.

Nyancelot looked around curiously. "What are you going to do here?" he questioned. Yu shrugged. "I'm not sure yet. But I feel like this is where I need to be right now," she explained. Nyancelot simply nodded. If this is where Yu felt most comfortable, then he trusted her judgement. The two sat down on the grassy floor, enjoying the peace and quiet for a while. After a few minutes Yu spoke up.

"I think I'm ready to talk now," she said quietly. "I need to discover the true meaning of what a True Ancestor is. Whether it means it is my destiny to become a vessel for Gaia's will, or some other ancient secret, I am certain there must be some records of their existence. Some sort of clue or trail to pursue."

Nyancelot raised a paw to his chin and pondered softly. "But where do you intend to search for this knowledge? If you don't plan to consult Titania and Oberon yet..." There was a place, a place of knowledge and wisdom. "Either Amaforth Academy or the royal library of Crocus, either of these might have books on the topic we need."

Nyancelot nodded his head in agreement. "That is a plausible strategy. Where do you wish to go first, Yu?" Yu her mind was already set on their destination: "Let us travel to Crocus first."
