After what felt like forever, after countless delays and not being able to make my way here, I was finally back.
If I remembered correctly, it had almost been two years since I last stepped foot in this place. Two long years.
And just as I expected, the elven kingdom still left me breathless. The air itself was different here, pure and light, almost carrying a sweetness that clung to the lungs. The atmosphere felt like it was drenched in goodness, untouched by the filth and cruelty that lingered in the outside world.
It was a little strange at first—seeing only female elves scattered around the streets, their elegant figures and flowing hair glowing under the natural light of this kingdom—but after everything I had already experienced, it didn't feel too shocking. Still, it had a jarring beauty to it, like stepping into a dream I wasn't sure I belonged in.
But all of that aside, the only thing I really felt was happiness. Happiness that I was finally here again.
