Chapter 72 - 072

While they both were swiftly heading to the elven forest, the forest was in chaos. The forest hadn't changed since the merge, but creatures had already ventured inside the forest. With the protectors of the forest mostly absent, it had been left in a vulnerable state. Creatures ran amok inside the forest, destroying its delicate balance and ecosystem. Near the middle of the forest stood a gigantic tree, and elven guards could be seen patrolling around it. On one of the branches near the ground lay a woman of immense beauty, in eternal slumber. Even though she was peacefully asleep, her lips quivered with fear and sorrow. Inside the beautiful woman's mind, a vast wasteland unfolded. This wasteland was void of any people, except for the woman and a man. The man was someone she had recently met, yet he was an important figure in her heart. As she gazed at the wasteland with happiness upon seeing him, she heard words that shattered her fragile heart.
