The Peacekeeper had started its journey back down to the desert. It was sure that Grumbo was safe with the rest of the carnival. Relatively safe at least. Now the demigod needed to return to its home. It had been a long time, they were sure that the skeletons had been up to much. Hopefully, they hadn't interacted with The Warmonger. Slowly, the skeleton started to climb back down the roots. It was slow work, but the demigod was clearly making progress with each jump or shuffle. The skeletons had probably figured out whatever problems they were having with the copper by now. They'd probably made a lot more materials too. Hopefully not too many weapons though, it would be such a sad sight.

The World Tree, the origin of all things that had even given rise to her mother. Did that make Gaia her grandmother? Fragarie chose not to dwell on that subject for long, instead looking around with excitement. Her mom had finally given her permission to leave the Valley, with the instruction to return immediately if she sensed an intruder making their way into her home. She still had the job that her mom had made her to do, of course, but it was still exciting to finally be allowed to wander the World Tree, explore the different realms of her aunts' and uncles' making that dotted the area around it. Of course, given the Valley's isolated nature, she found herself needing to fly, jumping from root to root in search of new sights. She drily noted in her head that it wasn't all that different from the way the Lesser Spirits back home jumped from plant to plant. Wow, herself as one of them was not the mental image she needed right now.

Shaking her head to clear her mind, she returned to traversing the roots of the tree. The buzz of her leafy wings cutting like knives through the otherwise silent atmosphere of Yggdrasil's surroundings. She had chosen to travel in a humanoid form, since she didn't want to unnerve anyone that she came across, and her mom had always told her that this shape was more polite. She jumped gracefully from root to root, eventually coming into the Peacekeeper's sight. She hadn't yet noticed the skeletal figure, too busy stopping herself from tripping and falling off of the root that she was perched on entirely. She waved her arms around to stop her fall, using her wings to push her back into a more stable position. She let out a visible sigh of relief. Phew.

Oh, shoot, had anyone seen that? Quickly, she looked around, searching for anything that might have caught her embarrassing moment. Fortunately, there didn't *Seem* To be any... There was somebody there. She stared at the Peacekeeper for a moment before all her juice flooded to her face. Noo...

The Peacekeeper heard *Something* Above it. Definitely not a follower from the carnival, but not a noise that the demigod recognised either. It stared at the humanoid newcomer as they slowed to a stop not too far away from them. It seemed scared, or just overall worried. Not terribly surprising all things considered, skeletons were a bit scary and suddenly finding something in the middle of nothing would always be a bit strange. But, the demigod now had the perfect chance to meet entirely new life from a god that even Mr Bones may not have met yet. The Peacekeeper raised up its hand and slowly waved. They shouted a short greeting across the void. 

"Hello there. Don't be worried, I won't hurt you. I'm The Peacekeeper. Who might you be?"

The thought that he might want to hurt her had never even crossed her mind, but it did occur to her that she should have thought of that now that he'd so kindly pointed it out. Even so, she figured that she was probably going to be fine. After all, he was nice enough to point out her mistake, so of course he wouldn't have any harmful intentions. Maybe that was a naive way to think, but she also had her abilities as a demigod to fall back on to either fight back or escape if push came to shove. As such, she didn't hesitate to approach, making a leap over from the root she'd been on to his. This time, she stuck the landing a little better, much to her relief. It wouldn't do to embarrass herself a second time.

Her wings were a blur as they carried her over to him, beating like an insect's wings rather than a bird's. She straightened, proud of herself for not messing up this time, and turned to him with a grin. "Nice to meetcha, the Peacekeeper! I'm Fragarie!" She introduced, waving at him, then paused. For all of her preaching to her mom to go out and socialise more, she'd not actually done a lot of socialising herself. To be fair, this was the first time that she'd ever left the Valley of Abundance, so her creator had been the only intelligent lifeform that she'd ever had the chance to speak to. What was she *Supposed* To say now?

Her face scrunched up in concentration as she searched for the right things that she could say to ensure that this conversation went well. After a moment, she settled on explaining why she'd come out here. Purpose was a big part of her life, after all, so it was only natural that she'd default to it when she wasn't sure what to do. "I'm exploring the World Tree! Mom finally allowed me to leave the Valley, so I wanna see all of the realms of my aunts and uncles!" She proclaimed with an enthusiastic grin on her face. "I even went ahead and took a humanoid form to look less scary! What about you?" That... Was alright, wasn't it? She hoped so.
