It's been a long time since I set foot in the Elven Kingdom, and now...
"We will miss you, young lady Diana!"
"I'll miss you too!" [Diana]
"Come play with us again"
"I hope you have a good time here"
"Of course I am, I even have a grandmother here!" [Diana]
"Oh honey, you melt my heart" [Farhah]
"Did you need anything else on your trip?"
"I think I have everything I need" [Diana].
"How about the orange grass cookies?"
"Have it" [Diana]
"The honey oil?"
"I don't really cook myself, but I have it anyway, as I'm sure my cook will appreciate it" [Diana].
"Don't you want to stay a little longer?"
"I would like to, but I miss my family, my friend and also my home" [Diana].
(She really has a talent for making everyone adore her, doesn't she?) [Khamisah]
"Alright Dians, it's time to say goodbye" [Myle].
"Goodbye everyone! Please visit Amleth as well! The Succubus Festival will definitely be a festival worth attending! Don't forget to see my play at the Opera House as well!" [Diana]
"We will!"
"Bye!"
It's the day we left the Elven Kingdom and returned to Amleth. Today, all those I have befriended come to bid me farewell. While I made an enemy out of the Council, I also made new friends here. The arena owner who let me play with the young Tyrannosaurus Rex. The park ranger, who showed me a few hidden spots that were eye-catching. The school here that taught me the basics of archery. Thanks to them, I can perform a better spell related to arrows. The Queen of Dyrad, without her I wouldn't get such an amazing upgrade for my staff and dresses. Even The Adamantoise, who has sworn to help me when the inevitable day comes when the Devil King rises again.
I have learned much in this land. I learned about the elven culture and its current state. Who would have thought that their own council would have a spout with their religious site. While I'm sure it's far from over, I also think that Sister Farhana has taken the first step towards reintegrating them.
Of course, there's still a lot of work to be done. I'm not very good at this, but I understand the gist of it. Which one of them should have military power? Which one of them should be in charge of finance, and so on. Basically, if they want to integrate what The World Tree thinks into their administrative process, there will be a lot more to do. That is, if they want to, because the voice of the World Tree is basically the Queen of Dyrad speaking.
(Now that I think about it, why couldn't we communicate with The World Tree? Is it because it's not alive, it just looks like a tree?) [Diana]
Maybe that is the case. It's an important foundation for the world that happens to look like a tree, and in it resides the Queen of Dyrad, along with the Ark of the Sea, which is closely guarded by the mermaid species, and the Child of the Moon of the Sky, which is guarded by Walpurgis. Fairies were also born from the World Tree, which begs the question
"They're definitely looking for a way to help fight THE THING" [Diana].
"We also found the last location of the Sun and Light Fairy Stella" [Farhah].
"This is good news for you" [Apollo]
"So where is it?" [Myle]
"Apparently with an angel named Seraph" [Diana]
"Seraph... You can't mean that debauched Seraph..." [Khamisah]
"Who?" [Diana, Farhah]
"Let just said that he comes from a line of the now fallen royalty of the Angel Kingdom" [Farhana].
Apparently both Sister Khamisah and Sister Farhana have met him in the past. The way they described him is indeed unique. He loves alcohol and was always seen drunk, but there's more to him than meets the eye. Sister Khamisah said that he can strike when you least expect it, be it from a real fight to one in a courtroom. As for Sister Farhana, her experience was that this guy is less exciting. He just made a scene when he was denied entry into the kingdom because of his behavior, but unexpectedly he was found the very next day teaching music and history in the kingdom school. Of course, they caught him afterwards, put him in jail where he easily escaped and was never seen again.
"He is truly unique. Prince Rufus is bold and a genius, Mr. Yang is like a dice, capable of handling good, bad, and gray while making almost every side agree with him. As for this guy, he's pretty slippery... That's the best description I can give based on what you two said" [Myle].
"If Myle said it, then I guess it's the truth" [Apollo].
"I'm curious. Now I really want to meet him" [Myle]
"Who knows, maybe he will be interested in the upcoming conference as well as the festival" [Khamisah].
The carriage stopped because it's time for the unicorn to rest. We went outside to stretch before continuing our journey.
