"I smell like daisies now." Adrian commented as he regained his vision and is now in front of a forest that spanned a large area.

"Maybe a daisy plant answered my call. I do not know which plant answers my call, but it is great that you smell nice now. You smell too much of a demon earlier." Elder Danaya stated as Adrian changed to his Aetheros form since that might be a clue that his aura can affect the forest.

"Despite its name, the forest itself looks nice and not creepy in a way. You can even feel the life inside that is teeming with numerous flora and fauna." Adrian commented as he naturally felt it better since he changed his form.

"That is the reason why it is called the Forest of No Return. You do not return because it is dangerous. You do not return because it is too lovely and a paradise to be in. This is as far as I will go, Champion Equinox. I pray that you pass this test with the given time. Remember that time itself is not what it seems inside that forest." Elder Danaya stated as she into a pile of leaves.

"I guess that is all the hints that I will get for this trial. Can I try to fly over the forest?" Adrian thought as he unfurled his wings and flew to the sky.

As soon as Adrian tried to fly above the Forest of No Return, he suddenly felt a powerful force push him back down to the ground. He tried once more but he will always end up back to the ground flying only a meter above the grass. He looked up in the skies and even wind elementals were not freely flying which meant that even beings of pure wind could not traverse the skies of the Forest of No Return.

"I guess the only choice is to enter then. I should summon my soulbounds that can help me with this." Adrian stated as he tried to summon Sirius and Wisteria.

[An unidentified force is interfering with your summoning magic. You cannot summon any of your soulbounds in this area.]

Adrian is shocked as it happened again. He cannot summon his soulbounds once again due to a powerful force interfering with the magic around him. He suddenly felt that the quest became much more difficult as he often relied on his soulbounds for scouting and such. This is the basics of a summoner after all since they are one with their soulbounds.

"I can just think of this as training again." Adrian told himself as he pushed onwards into the Forest of No Return.
