The following morning, deep within the Sacred Forest.
Elven Settlement.
As the first rays of sunlight filtered through the overlapping canopies and fell upon the ancient forest paths, Gabriel had already finished packing his belongings and was waiting in the clearing outside the treehouse.
A few elven warriors were making their final preparations nearby, checking the supplies and equipment that would be needed for the journey out of the forest.
Gabriel stood beside the wooden steps, casually adjusting the straps of his travel clothes while checking the contents of his System Space one last time.
After confirming that everything was in order, Gabriel closed his System Space and turned his attention toward the forest path.
Several elven attendants were carrying bundles of provisions toward the waiting escort, while a pair of warriors were inspecting the vehicles that would accompany them for part of the journey.
Just then, footsteps sounded behind him.
