At the sound, Leon, Elina, and Nana immediately stopped in their tracks.
Ahead of them stood two elves, each with a bow in hand, their gazes sharp and alert.
Both were tall, slender men—around 185 centimeters in height.
Their long, straight green hair reached down their backs, and their pointed ears framed eyes that matched the color of their hair.
The moment they saw them, the surprise on Nana and Elina's faces turned to joy.
"Rhaven! Faelar!" they called out, voices filled with excitement.
The elf on the left, Rhaven, and the one on the right, Faelar, stood frozen, staring at the girls in disbelief.
"You… Nana? Elina?" they exclaimed, still in disbelief.
Both girls had vanished from the village long ago—especially Elina, who had been missing for over a year without a single trace.
Some believed she had been devoured by wolf monsters, while others thought she had perished from the curse of their race—a punishment for those who dared to flee the Forest of Eternal Silence.
