[202] Journey to the Doorstep of My... Home

Chapter 202: Journey to the Doorstep of My... Home

—

After a day's preparation, everyone was ready to leave. I was also prepared, having spent last night productively.

"We group leaders can communicate from different corners of the world thanks to our Divinity, but what about you?" Quetzalcoatl asked at the gate of the Elven Enclave. "What if there's an emergency?"

We had bid our goodies to the crowd in the enclave. I also talked briefly with Vaelwyn the Dryad, who wanted to apologize for acting up earlier. All three groups, along with Seiran and me, were now outside the village gate.

"It's easy. All three of you have Sun or Light Divinity, just encode your message in an orb of light and send it to the Grand Dukedom. I'll receive it." With my Path, it'll be a piece of cake. "I can do the same if needs arise."

Quetzalcoatl crossed her arms and nodded. "That works."

"Ugh, can I really not join you?!" Ruby asked for the umpteenth time. She looked a little pissed that I was sending her away, but sadly I needed some alone time.

"It's okay Ruby, he's busy," Ai patted her girl's head and said. However, while she was consoling Ruby, I didn't miss the look in her eyes, even though she tried to conceal it.

...I hadn't had a deep talk with my mother about all of this. Just a few months ago she was furious at me for turning out to be a grown man in her child's body. She ended up accepting me somehow, forgetting the past and seeing me as her son, but now... here we were, in my old world, with people who called me family.

Unfortunately, I couldn't pull her to the side to talk about this now even if I wanted to. I should give her attention when all of this would come to an end.

"Enough wasting time, we should leave already," Jasmine yawned and said. She hadn't slept all night long since she trained in swordsmanship with me, so she was tired and sleepy.

After exchanging some words with my Goddess, Tsubasa, Shoko, and others, the groups began to leave one by one. In the end, Group 3 left as well. I saw my mother and sister wave at me before they took the air and flew away. Of course, since Sieran, the creator of the Anti-Flight Formation was on our side, flight in Elven Forest wasn't impossible for us anymore.

Soon, only Seiran and I remained at the enclave's gate. I took in a deep breath, allowing my lungs to fill with the sweet scent of nature. The vibrant woods were nectar to my lungs. Plus the presence beside me. It... almost felt like I was back in time.

I turned to my side, my eyes fell upon the smile of Sieran. She was looking up, at the sun peeking down at us through the thick leaves rustling against one another. She looked more like a fairy with sunlight showering down on her face. She was humming a song, not from this world, it was one of the songs we sang together in the past.

Her lips parted, "Feels like... we're back in time, doesn't it?"
