It was already evening. The sun hung low on the horizon, casting a warm, golden glow across the landscape. Long shadows stretched out from the trees, creating a mesmerizing interplay of light and darkness on the ground. The sky was painted with hues of orange, pink, and purple, a breathtaking canvas signaling the end of the day.
Henry and Lukas began preparing to head out to Gandulf's place. The anticipation of the journey ahead filled the air, adding a sense of urgency to their movements. Lukas donned his cloak, its deep blue fabric shimmering slightly with the enchantments woven into it.
"We should be ready to leave soon," Lukas said, glancing at Henry. "Ellice will be waiting for us, and we don't want to keep her waiting."
Henry nodded, his face set with determination. "I've got everything I need. Let's make sure we stay alert; the forest can be unpredictable, especially as night falls."
