Aster was sitting down by the edge of a cliff, watching the sunrise as it started to brighten up the dark. Finally, he stood up from his feet and walked away. He always loved a beautiful sight, just not now. It has been a few days since Lake and him were tutoring, he hasn't even seen her yet! Aster wasn't able to find the chocolate lover, he wasn't able to gaze at her beautiful green eyes and her bright smile. Where has Lake gone? Is she hiding something from me?

Aster hopped down the giant log, he was in the giant forest of Bergen Town, right near Troll Tree was. And he even saw the two graves of Lake's parents, sometimes, he would even lay flowers down whenever he passes by or if he's ever got a chance to. It was depressing indeed, especially Lake gone.

The grayish blue troll pulled up his hoodie from behind, he was just so close back to his pod, if only he didn't feel creeped out by this forest, he felt chills coming down his spine or he felt like someone was watching him. Lake would always think if something to do, no, not now. Now's not the time to think about Lake...

Finally, he made it back home.  With a swift motion, he opened the wooden door from in front of him, and entered inside his pod. Sometimes, he would wonder if Lake left any note or anything at all. Lake wasn't missing, no, it's just he hasn't seen her that much. Sure, he barely sees Lake hanging out with Branch, or her friends, but seeing her expression while she's with them, it seemed like she wasn't okay at all.

Aster sighed and looked down at his bow and arrows, he missed those old days when him and Lake were just being theirselves around each other. Suddenly, he heard a soft knock at the door, his expression lit up and he quickly opened the door, expecting Lake, but once he saw who it was, it disappointed him. It was the same troll who was watching him a few days ago, her long dark green hair and her warm smile, she looked familiar indeed. "Why hello, Aster."

"Um... hi..." he said, and just awkwardly waved. The troll giggled, and sighed happily. She was quite happy to see him, she even stood like royalty. "My name is Lily"

"H-Hey! You have the same name as my friend!" He said, while she giggled and nodded, she slightly looked up. "Well, Lily is a common name."

"Wait a minute... you look familiar." He said, slightly creeped out. Lily giggled again, she tried stopping herself, but when she did, she smiled brightly than ever. She reached from her hair and took out a small picture frame of baby Lake, smiling and raising her arms high in the air, her smile was wide and her one little baby tooth was showing, her short blue hair and her bright and cute little eyes sparkling from the frame. Lily showed the picture to the other troll, while glancing at the picture, herself. Aster stared at his, his eye's widening, and just seeing the sight of this made him feel better. "That's... Lake... wow, she was so cute. Wait, how did you get that?"

"Still need help, darling?" She smirked a bit, laughing quietly as she took out a little scrapbook of more baby pictures of Lake, and some of herself with her entire family. Aster glanced at it for one second and looked back right up at the troll from across him. "You're... Lake's mother?"
