"You're finally here." a familiar voice said.
I immediately ran over to hug him when I saw the huge smile on his face.
"Brother!"
He chuckled. "Haha, it's been boring here without you. I'm glad you came to visit."
I hugged him even tighter. It hadn't been that long since I left to study at the university, but I already missed the warmth of being home again.
I took a moment to look around.
The Wood Clan's home is a magical forest filled with towering, ancient trees that stretch high into the sky, even grander than those in the Land of the White Elves. The thick trunks of these trees glow softly, as if alive with magic from the fairies that flutter around them.
These trees bring life to everything here, so there are no buildings and only nature in its purest form.
The massive trees themselves serve as shelters, with hidden doors in their trunks leading down to an underground village.
