⫷ The elves ⫸

On the other side of the mountains, very far from the lands of the kingdom, was the dragon king who had gone to very distant lands, but not anywhere but in the lands of the elves, yes, as they heard it, the lands of The elves were not pure fiction and stories, this one existed, but it was very hidden, but in order to get there there was a portal that took you directly to their village because if you went on foot it would take a year, but only the elves and the most knew this. trusting and one of those was the dragon king who had a friendship with them decades ago, they even helped in the last battle but no one ever knew it.

"Macut....macut, Mr. Mao has come to visit us" shouted a boy who came hand in hand with the dragon king, everyone who had heard came up to greet him and tell him that he was welcome while others only dedicated themselves to Touching it and smiling as the elves was characterized by its curiosity, its bravery and its love. When you gain the trust of all of them, you would be part of their family and they will never forget a face.

"But look how big it is?" the other elves said.

"Haven't been here in years?" said some elf ladies.

"Oh! Mr. Mao, how good it is to have you visiting these parts" spoke a man of a certain age, approaching while everyone gave way to this man since this was the leader of their village, a very wise and charismatic man.

"It is good to return to these parts," answered the dragon king as he caressed a child who smiled at him.

"Well how about we go inside for some tea" the man exclaimed with a smile.

"With pleasure," the dragon king responded as he escorted the man inside while everyone else returned to their duties.

"Take a seat, I'll bring you," exclaimed the man while the dragon king looked at every corner of the room and berry that brought back many memories since many years had passed since he had visited them, a long time ago when he was a child the elves found him. He was saved from being devoured by a demon and he was very grateful that even they took a liking to him and he visited them every time he could.

"Very well, here you go," the man said, serving him a cup of tea.

"Bring back memories doesn't it?" said that man.

"Well, yes, it seems that age doesn't affect you at all," commented the dragon king, laughing.

"Well, you don't either haha...well tell me what brings you to these parts, you must have some reason, don't you" exclaimed the man while drinking the cup of tea.

"How did you know I came for something?" the dragon king asked in surprise.

"I know many things, but I will always know when you need something" the man responded with a smile.

"I see...if I need anything" exclaimed the dragon king.

"well tell me I'm all ears"

"It's about dilong!" The dragon king exclaimed while that man raised his head to look him straight in the eyes.

"What's the matter with him?" asked.

"He stole the forbidden sacred scroll" with those words the man already knew everything.

"There is no turning back and you know it" the man answered, standing up followed by the dragon king.

"But there must be a way..."

There isn't and you know it very well. I...can't help you," the man exclaimed.

"Master..." the dragon king exclaimed, this surprised the man since Mao had been his apprentice since he was little, he insisted so much on him being his master that he agreed to this term, but once he took the throne he could no longer return. frequently and his training with the elves had to be a secret.
