On that fateful night the two Valeguards set aside their differences and decided to finally bury the ever so sharp hatchet, sipping on drinks as they chatted on for hours, and in the end Sierra decided that she'll be going back with her father to spend the night back at her family home, Fae was very happy that they finally could have a heart to heart, with no pride or grudge getting between daughter and father
Fae has already mentioned her desire to travel northward, towards the kingdom of the reclusive elves to try and have an audience with the Dryad, a feat that was not quite possible in the eyes of her fellow companions who are actually from this world
"To call them a hermit nation would be quite the understatement" Thaddeus muttered, his voice kept getting progressively more human with each word he spoke, still chilling however, all of them were within their room, Yulia and Avalynn seated at the edge of the bed with Yuna standing straight while Fae leaned against the wall with her arms crossed next to Thaddeus
"Sounds like they have not changed ever since I was among the living" Yuna added, Hearing Fae sigh
"Yeah, as far as I know they don't allow people from other races within their towns, sometimes not even diplomats since they wish to not be involved in anything that happens outside of their borders" Yulia continued
"You guys aren't filling me with much confidence you know?" She spoke, rubbing her chin as she kept thinking about how to tackle on their next step, it will be extremely hard considering she hasn't even seen a single elf so far in her journey, she wasn't aware of their culture or their customs, talking her way would be near impossible
"Right well, we don't need to play by their rules, we can just sneak ourselves in no?" Avalynn displayed her mischief which was quite in character, Fae slowly shook her head
"If we start making enemies with them before we even reach their capital, I can't see how they'd allow us to see their Dryad, let alone give us info about divinity" She crossed her arms tighter and lowered her head, there has to be a way, she had to speak to her
Suddenly the door of their room opened to a smiling Sierra holding what seemed to be a leather bag
"Good morning everyone" She said with such a bright smile that it almost inflicted the others with blindness "My mother made some sweets, anybody want one?"
"Me Me!" Avalynn made her desire to taste quite clear with a hand in the air, prompting a chuckle out of the group while Sierra went on to hand each of them one, Even Yuna and Thaddeus, who handed their part to Fae discreetly, wanting not to ruin the smile that was on Sierra's face
The group shortly after decided to end their discussion about how they'd be allowed within the nation of green and verdure, instead they went on to make their preparation and buying appropriate provisions, mainly dried food, firewood and tents too if they ever had to camp out in the middle of the wilderness, which then showed how convenient it was to have Thaddeus by their side, with his body made entirely out of metal the amount of weight he could carry was truly inhumane
Fae let her friends do the shopping as she had no idea what to buy or how much to buy anyways, she figured it would be best to leave those things for the people used to this world, she walked with her hands in her pockets and thought about a lot of things, mainly about what happened yesterday and what will happen forward
Dropping her body on a bench she took a deep breath with her arms resting on the backrest of said bench, it was a lot to take it
Narrowing her eyes as she looked at the people walking, paying her no mind, She was happy seeing Sierra smile so much, even a little bit jealous
But that jealousy was only overshadowed by the amount of love and care she had for her, for her and the rest of her group
"Keep your gaze on the prey, not the horizon" Yuna's words echoed within Fae's mind, the latter keeping her silence while Yuna continued "I feel a disturbance in the balance of your heart sister, it reminded me of this saying my brother used to tell me when we would go hunting" Her words were soft and her tone sweet "His saying can also be applied to your objectives, do not distract yourself with many things, keep true to your path" She added
