After a while of walking, they finally arrived at a massive door flanked by several elf guards, each standing tall and alert. Their gleaming armor reflected the sunlight filtering through the glass canopy above.
As Jade and Aurianna approached, the guards exchanged quick glances before stepping aside in unison. The heavy door creaked open, revealing a grand hall adorned with beautiful elven designs and glowing crystals that illuminated the space with a warm light.
The moment they entered, Aurianna's gaze swept across the room, noting the presence of familiar people there. Everyone engaged in quiet conversations. Everyone seemed to be there—everyone except Saem's group.
"I guess he left once he got what he wanted," she mused silently, her expression neutral as she moved to join the others.
