Sekhmet kept his eyes on Leaf for one more breath before opening the window in his mind.
The system answered at once.

Sekhmet read it once. Then again. He looked at Leaf again.
So that was the answer.
She had not merely become stronger.
She had become the center of an entire ecosystem.
Meanwhile, more little trees grew up from the dead land. The whole patch of life became bigger. The black ground around Leaf’s new garden was no longer losing slowly. It was being taken. Grass spread farther. Moss crawled over the stone. Red flowers opened in clusters. Thin roots moved under the soil like living veins.
Then the strange red fruits growing on those small trees started opening.
Bat Bat blinked. "Those fruits are moving."
Sekhmet watched carefully.
The red fruits were not normal fruits.
They were like little fleshy pods, red and swollen, hanging from the branches like living growths. Their skins glistened wetly in the dim light of the Void Land. One opened.
Then another.
Then another.
Tiny winged female creatures came out of them.
They were small like fairies, but they did not look soft or harmless. They had beautiful female bodies, pointed ears, glowing red or purple eyes, and delicate fairy wings that shimmered with color. Some had red-pink tones, some had violet-blue tones, and some had green-gold tones, like strange flowers given tiny bodies. Their skin looked smooth and bright, but there was something eerie about them too, like they belonged in a blood garden, not a normal forest.
Each one looked different in color and little details, but all of them felt like they belonged to the same brood. They looked beautiful, but also dangerous.
They did not speak.
The moment they were born, they all looked at Leaf and flew toward her.
Bat Bat said, "More little Leafs?"
Sekhmet shook his head. "No. They are not Leaf."
The system confirmed it.
[SYSTEM Notification: New race generated.
Name: Flesh Fairies.]
Now the shape of it was becoming clear.
The little fruit-pods were giving birth to Flesh Fairies.
One by one, the tiny new creatures fluttered free and gathered around Leaf. None of them wandered. None of them looked confused. They moved as if some instinct already told them exactly where they belonged.
Sekhmet counted them without needing to think about it.
One. Two. Three. Four. Five.
No more pods opened after that.
"Only five. Interesting."
That number stayed in his mind.
Then the flowers and plants around the patch started changing too.
The vines twisted.
Flower stems thickened.
Leaves and petals pulled together into female bodies.
One by one, plant women stepped out from the flowers and vines.
They did not all look the same.
Some had green bodies covered in leaves and flower petals, like living forest spirits shaped into adult women. Some had deep red or crimson flesh mixed with vines and thorny growths. Some had hair made of roots, petals, or twisting plant tendrils. A few had large carnivorous flower growths on their shoulders, backs, or arms, like hungry plant mouths waiting to bite. Their bodies looked beautiful in a wild and dangerous way, but also clearly unnatural, like flowers, meat, and vines had all joined together to make female hunters.
Some had thorn arms.
Some had leaf hair.
Some had flower armor.
All of them were female.
All of them looked different.
And all of them turned toward Leaf at once.
They did not speak either.
But they clearly understood Leaf was their center.
The system spoke again.
[SYSTEM Notification: New race generated.
Name: Carnivorous Dryads.]
Bat Bat looked around slowly. "So the flowers are becoming women."
"Yes," Sekhmet said.
He counted them too.
One stepped out of a red bloom cluster. Another rose from a knot of vines. A third unfolded from layered leaf growth. A fourth pulled herself free from a thorned flowering stem. A fifth emerged from a low spread of petals and bark.
Then no more came.
Five.
That made ten total so far. Five Flesh Fairies. Five Carnivorous Dryads. The number felt deliberate. It was balanced.
Bat Bat noticed it too, though later than Sekhmet did. "There are five little fairies and five plant women."
Sekhmet did not answer immediately, but his eyes remained on the center.
Because the biggest change had not happened yet.
And this time, it did not come from the land around Leaf.
It came from Leaf’s cocoon itself.
The opened cocoon shell at her feet had not fully died. The flower-like remains still drank the red and green light flowing through the patch. Then the larger lower shell began moving again.
Bat Bat saw it first and flinched. "Master."
The petals of the cocoon folded inward instead of outward. The broken shell gathered itself. The larger base thickened, swelled, and began rooting into the ground beneath it. What had first looked like a dead transformation remains suddenly behaved like something that had only just begun its true birth.
The ground shook. Not violently but heavily.
As if something massive had decided it would no longer stay buried.
The cocoon base tore downward and upward at the same time. Roots punched into the soil. The lower mass thickened into a trunk. The red and green lines running through it darkened into pulsing veins. Bark-like flesh spread over the outer layer, then split in places where no bark should ever split.
Eyes opened across it.
Not two.
Many.
Wet, red, unblinking eyes.
Bat Bat took one step back.
Auri’s wing shifted outward slightly.
The thing kept growing.
Its roots pulled out of the ground like giant legs. Its trunk rose higher. Huge branch-arms grew out from its sides, and each arm ended in a giant mouth instead of a hand. Above those arms, two giant bat-like branch wings opened slowly, dripping red sap like blood. Higher up, its branches carried strange red meat-like fruits. Several giant mouths opened in the lower part of its trunk, large enough to serve as doors.
It was not a normal tree anymore.
It was not even only a monster.
It was a living moving flesh-tree fortress.
And when it fully rose, all its eyes looked at Leaf.
Not at Sekhmet. Not at Bat Bat. But at Leaf.
The system confirmed the last part.
[SYSTEM Notification: New race generated.
Name: Flesh-Treant.]
Bat Bat stared with her mouth open. "Leaf got a giant living tree house?"
That was actually the easiest way to understand it.
Sekhmet looked at everything carefully.
Now it was clear.
Leaf had not transformed alone.
She had created a full Trinity around herself.
The system said it clearly.
[SYSTEM Notification: Trinity formation complete.]
Sekhmet understood it now.
Leaf had become the center.
She was the Sanguifey.
The Flesh Fairies were born from the red fruit-pods around her.
The Carnivorous Dryads were born from the nearby flowers and plants.
The Flesh-Treant was born from the base of Leaf’s own cocoon, becoming their giant living home and protector.
All of them were connected to Leaf. All of them were born at the same time. All of them needed each other.
This was the Trinity. Leaf in the center. Five Flesh Fairies around her. Five Carnivorous Dryads guarding and helping.
The Flesh-Treant as the giant mobile home of them all.
Bat Bat said it in the simplest way possible.
"So Leaf became the queen, the five little fairies became her swarm, the five plant women became her guards, and the giant flesh tree became her house?"
Sekhmet looked at her once.
"Yes."
That was simple enough.
Leaf turned slowly and looked at everything that had been born with her.
She looked at the tiny Flesh Fairies circling around her. Some hovered near her shoulders. One perched carefully on a flowering branch and kept its glowing eyes fixed on her. Another landed on the grass near her feet and bowed its head instinctively.
She looked at the Carnivorous Dryads. They had already begun spreading to the edge of the growing zone, not running away, but taking positions. Some faced outward toward the darkness of the Void Land as if guarding the borders. Others looked toward the Flesh-Treant and then back to Leaf, waiting.
Then she looked at the giant Flesh-Treant behind her.
She did not look confused.
She looked connected, as if she could feel all of them.
Then she looked at Bat Bat first.
Always Bat Bat first.
Bat Bat clutched her chest. "This is amazing. But I need some explanation."
Auri looked at the giant Flesh-Treant again. "It can move."
"Yes," Sekhmet said.
That was the important part.
It was not just three random races.
It was one connected blood ecosystem.
One Trinity.
One queen in the center.
And the land itself was still changing around them, turning dead ground into something alive and dangerous.
The Void Land had already begun answering to Leaf’s existence. More grass spread. New roots dug deeper. The little blood-red trees bent slightly toward the Flesh-Treant as though even they understood what had become their center. The whole place felt less empty now.
It was not safe. It was not gentle. But alive. And that changed everything.
