*~(Deva's pov.)~*

I ignored the feeling of eyes on me as I helped Bardo groom Gen who moved his branches and leaves with happiness. I knew it was one individual that fainted about two hours ago. He awoke a few minutes ago and has stared at me since with glances at Gen and Bardo. Both Ink and Blue were quietly whispering to each other while also glancing at both me, Bardo, and Gen. I finally looked up to see the yellow orbs of Dream, the King of the Sun Empire.

I projected my feelings of confusion and wariness as I knew not what he would do. He seemed to finally get out of the trance he was in and coughed slightly into his fist as he fidgeted, likely from my emotions and knowledge he obtained from seeing Gen.

"Do you know what tree you have in your grasp?"

I blinked as I gave him my full attention. Bardo was too busy grooming Gen but I knew that she was listening in. Ink and Blue stopped talking as they too listened in.

"I believe they call the Tree, the Tree of Feelings. But I call him Genesis, Gen for short."

Dream blinked as he looked at Gen before he looked back at me.

"I see. How did you obtain Genesis, may I ask if that is....."

I thought about it for a second as I looked at Gen. Gen projected reassurance and that was good enough for me. If they turned out to be, well, greedy, then their memories shall be wiped. Simple as that, no bones off my being.

"I had this little bonsai tree since I was a baby-bones and a couple of months back decided to mix my magic into the bonsai tree. Gen came from my combined magic and the bonsai tree. So you can say that he is my son in sense."

That got Ink coughing as Blue started to lightly pat his back while Dream gaped at me from what I can tell is shock, awe, and small amounts of emotions I couldn't decipher. After Ink's coughing fit, he spoke up.

"WAIT, so you're telling me that YOU created a TREE OF FEELINGS!?!?!?!?!"

"Yes, to be truthful, I didn't even know it was going to happen. You see, my magic is the perfect blend of what many call Light and Dark magic. I'm neutral in many things. I don't know of the many other Tree of Feelings but what I do know is that, from what I can feel, that Gen is the TRUE Tree of Feelings as he is connected to the Universe as a whole than the other tree's. The other trees couldn't connect and that results in them not staying around for long."

That was a theory actually. I didn't know why the other Tree of Feeling's were dying I just went with this as I knew nothing of the others. Unless I meet the other tree's then it will be only a theory unless otherwise.

"I see, but why did it use your magic as a catalyst? It makes no sense for it to do that."

That got me thinking but I had no clue myself unless it had something to do with my magic and reincarnation. It would make sense that since I have an affinity towards Space, Time, Void, and the Cosmic energies. It was weird as certain beings had an affinity towards these energies. I knew that some would have an affinity towards Space but not Time. It was also the same switched. Void and Cosmic was another matter altogether.

"I'm not certain myself, I've learned that my magic is.....odd to alot of people. Some have even wished that I never use my magic ever again."

That got Dream, Ink, and Blue to look at each other while Bardo came up to me and gave me a hug. Gen soon let out a calming aura and I felt myself relax along with everyone else. I sent feelings of love, affection, and thankfulness towards Gen as I hugged Bardo back who gave a smile.

".....Does Gen have any Guardians yet?"

Surprisingly Blue spoke this question. I gave him a curious look to this question while it seemed Dream perked up. I wonder why?

"Gen is waiting until he creates his guardians. He gave me permission to name them while also teaching them their magic that they may inherit from me or Gen. From what he 'tells' me, it will be in two weeks or less until they are 'born'."

Bardo then squealed as she soon ran around the room while also running on the walls and ceiling. Ink and Dream looked at her in surprise and wide eye sockets. Blue looked amused by her antics. I gave an amused huff as I used blue magic and stopped her. She gave me a pout as I put her gently on the couch. I handed her some chocolate as she practically inhaled it.

I looked back to the three guests as it seems that Ink and Dream were digesting the news I delivered while Blue joined Bardo in eating the chocolates.

It seemed that Bardo gained a friend today. It's actually fluffing cute now that I look at it. She may have gained a new brother or friend is up for debate as I don't know her thought pattern that well.

Gen seemed to be relaxing in the atmosphere as he soaked up the feelings but not take, just read the emotions from what I can tell. I petted Gen's leaves as he 'purred' while moving his leaves slightly towards me.

"Can you come to the Sun Empire with me?"

I gave Dream a confused look as he fidgeted from my look and everyone else looking at him. This confused me as I knew no reason for him to want me to come to the Empire. Unless......

I looked at Gen as he seemed to radiate confusion along with everyone else. I never knew the reason for how Nightmare and Dream came into being but I knew above all else that both seemed to have an unhealthy interest in protecting a Tree of Feelings. From the few memories, I have of my past life, I knew that Nightmare and Dream were Guardians of the Tree of Feelings. It was their sworn duty to protect it.

I also knew from some rumors that Nightmare and Dream never really became Guardians as the trees died too fast for them to really become Guardians. And the fact that Gen exist? That sings the Holy Grail or Infinity Gauntlet to them in some way.

Something troublesome has landed in my lap. 

"I'm sorry but I live here. This place is practically home and I have many customers that I must tend to."

I could feel as Bardo relaxed slightly along with Gen. It seemed both knew that something was amiss with this. 

"I see."

Dream seemed to deflate as he looked down with sadness. Ink rubbed his back slightly as Blue sighed inaudibly but I could tell that he did sigh. So Dream did want something but it was unclear.

Tension seemed to settle into the meeting between us but I knew now way to deal with it. Then I saw as Bardo gained this look of mischief as she whispered in Blue's 'ears'. I saw the same gleam in his eye sockets as he nodded back to Bardo. I felt the need to leave the room and fast. But before I could do I feel a towel land on my face as I felt phalanges quickly rub my face.

"BARDO WHA-!!!!!"

"IT'S FOR CHAOS DEAR FATHER!!!!"

I tried to stop her but I felt blue magic around me and I knew that Blue was in on it.

Why that motherfucker-

"DONE!!!!"

Then the towel left my face as I soon took some breaths. I looked at everyone once I caught my breath. Their faces confused me as confusion and worry burrowed into my mind.

{It looks like this. Ignore the background as I didn't know how to create another just yet.}

Chaos ran supreme again.
