There was one place Seokjin wished to visit before departing for the gateways, and in all honesty it wasn't really the place he wanted to visit but a particular person.
He couldn't leave without saying goodbye, just in case something went wrong.
The smell of honeysuckle mixed with jasmine calmed his racing heart, the slight tremor to his fingers easing somewhat as he navigated the familiar pathway to the waterfront. What lay ahead with the gateway expedition absolutely terrified him, not many places had the ability to take that fear away but Lake Coivienéni was definitely one of them.
Even if momentarily.

Lake Coivienéni, or the Lake Of Awakening as the Fae called it was only a short walk from the castle grounds and across the tranquil expanse of water lived a small group of Nendili Fae, one of which was his sole reason for venturing out so soon before departure. The townspeople were convinced the water itself was blessed by magic, those suffering from various ailments would bathe there during the warmer months before winter hit and the lake froze over but that was never his sole reason for visiting so frequently. Yes it was calming to sit beside the water, the sun kissing his skin as he breathed in that familiar scent but it was more a certain member of the Nendili Fae which kept him visiting daily if his role as prince and eldest member of the family permitted.
"Do my eyes deceive me or is that really you Jinnie?"
The prince turned his attention from the water, amused eyes falling across the woodland. It didn't surprise him that she was already here, after their long years of friendship she had this sixth sense when it came to him. The sound of her voice captivating him, holding him hostage, daring not to move for fear she would vanish.

"Aoife, good to hear your voice?" Jin stepped closer to the trees, smiling when something or rather someone moved through them.
"Q Elen síla lúmenn' omentielvo, how are you Jinnie?"
