As the first rays of light hit the forrest,you could see Vance already awake and he was in a sitting position seeming like he was deep in thought and a serious expression was on his face.
Vance:Haaaa,I hope you're ready kid.
He went closer to Max and stirred him awake,he seemed reluctant to wake up so already annoyed Vance hit him in the head.
Max:Ahhh what's your problem man?can't you wake me up like a normal person?
Vance:I tryed that and you didn't wake up what else did you want me to do?
He had a grin on his face and Max just kept complaining.
Vance:Come on get up,we got to get moving if we don't want to be late.
Max:Late for what?
Vance:You'll see when we get there.
Max:Alright alright,so is it a long way until our destination?
Vance:Not really but we'll have to walk a little bit,let's go.
Max:Alright.
They got ready and started walking,going deeper into the forrest,you could notice the trees were starting to block almost every path on the way even blocking most of the sunlight.
Max:Ummm Vance?don't you think that there are a lot more trees here?
Vance:That's because we're getting close to the city.
They continued walking and on the way they kept talking some more and Max kept asking all sort of questions about magic and everything that revolves around it.
Vance:I like your enthusiasm kid,but everything that I'll tell you right now it will seem vague and you won't understand anything,like I said be patient and I will teach you everything you need to know and more.
Max:Okay,I was just excited,I can feel my heart beating faster and faster with anticipation.
???:Stop right there
They suddenly heard a voice say that and Max was confused and didn't know where the voice came from but he looked at Vance and he told him to relax.
Vance:Can't you see that it's me canary?
A woman immediately appeared at on of the branches from one of the trees,she had dark hair,similar pointy ears but you couldn't see her face very well because she was covering it with a scarf.
Canary:I can see that it's you Mr Vance but that human child with you,how did he get here?
Vance:Well I brought him here.
He said that with such an innocent face and a dumb look that you could see a thick vein on the woman feeling irritated.
Canary:I see that you brought him here but how did he get close to our territory when we have our protection?
Vance:And what makes you think that he was close to our territory?And I didn't go get him somewhere else?
Canary:Because the closest human village is very far and you didn't just go there it would take a long time,so that only leaves one option,this child was already close to here for you to have found him.
Vance:10 points,very good deduction abilities,so know could you let us pass we need to get in there.
Canary:Sure you can come in but the human can't.
Vance:Canary please.
Canary:No my duty it's to protect our village from outsiders and he clearly is a outsider.
Vance:Look at him,he's just a kid,let us in I'll talk to them.
Canary:I said no.
Vance:Then where will he go?he got nowhere else to go nor does he have people to take care of him.
Canary:That's not my problem,you can just take him and leave him somewhere random in this forrest.
Vance:And he will die,do you have any idea about what you are saying?
Max was starting to get scared,Vance had told him that the elves don't have a high opinion of humans but he didn't think it would be to this extent.
Max:M-maybe I should leave Vance.
As soon as he finished saying that he felt a hand on his shoulder.
Vance:The only place you're going is inside,I told you as long as you're in my wing I'll protect you.
Canary:What's going on?don't tell me you're attached to this child?
Max suddenly felt some kind of pressure in the air but it wasn't hurting him,he was just feeling that the atmosphere got heavy.
Vance:I tryed playing nice but it seems that I'll have to use force,last warning,this child is my disciple and he's coming with me whether you like it or not.
Canary:W-what,you're disciple,you decided to take this human child as your disciple?this is a new low,even for you Vance.
???:Enough.
About 10-15 new people appeared and Vance released the pressure that he was exerting.
Vance:So can we get in.
???:Such a troublemaker aren't you,hero?
Vance:You know I don't like that nickname.
???:But it is your title isn't it?hero of the night.
Vance:Tch,whatever so I'll ask you again,can we get in?
???:Calm down you don't need to be so hostile,sure you can come in with that child,the king wants to have a word with you and that child.
Vance:Why does he need to speak with him?he can just talk to me I'm the one who brought him here.
???:Exactly,you brought him here,you made him you're disciple,you're very first disciple,imagine that it's only obvious that our King will want to see what you saw in the child.
Vance:I see you were listening to all that huh?no point arguing anymore come on kid let's go.
He continued to to put his hand on his shoulder as if to assure him that nothing bad would happen to him,they continued walking just a little bit more and as they continued more and more elves started appearing looking at Max with curiosity,hostility,fear,and after passing through all those trees they got out and in front of his eyes laid a giant beautiful city,it seemed like the city was one with the trees as it looked very natural and not out of place.
Vance:Welcome to our city.
