Finally, Feluccas reached the Porque Horat Islands in the evening. It was Ethan’s first time visiting the island. Even in his confused state of mind, he couldn’t help but enjoy the stunning view of this beautiful paradise. Porque Horat was full of lush gardens, cozy little restaurants, and also — one mysterious, banned forest.
Meanwhile, Ethan made a new friend from the cleaning department. Her name was Mila — an adventurous girl who lived in a village near Ethan’s hometown. After work, around 11 o’clock, the two of them began a walk around the island. Mila started telling Ethan about Lupino Forest and a strange talking bird said to live there.
Still confused from his earlier dream, Ethan asked Mila more about this bird. She urged him to come with her into the forest. At first, Ethan refused — but Mila’s enthusiasm made him accept the secret nighttime adventure.
They began walking into the forest. Lupino was no ordinary forest — it was home to unique birds and animals. Because of this, the local authorities had banned public access to protect its delicate ecosystem. But Lupino was something beyond imagination — a true heaven for wildlife. Ethan was mesmerized by its moonlit beauty. A strange garden within it was filled with glowing flowers, making the forest look like daytime at night.
Mila became overwhelmed with excitement, running around like a child in a dreamland. But suddenly, she fainted — exhausted from the day’s work and the long journey.
Ethan quickly realized her condition and rushed to find water. At last, he discovered a pool to the west of the garden where he had been standing. There, he saw something magical — a group of dancing moonflowers, glowing brighter than the moon itself.
Ethan had no time to admire their beauty. He scooped water into his hands, but as he stood up, he slipped. In that moment, the moonlight and the glow of the moonflowers passed through the ring Ethan wore — the same ring the mermaid had given him.
Suddenly, he remembered her words.
Then, something even more shocking happened — the moonflowers began speaking to Ethan.
One enormous flower, nearly 20 feet tall, said, “Your father is alive.” It then gave him a mysterious snake-shaped sword.
Ethan asked for more details about his father. A tiny flower replied,
“Go east and raise the sword when you are in danger.”
Within seconds, all the flowers vanished into the pool.
Ethan hurried back to the garden with the water — but Mila was gone.
