Probing the Elven Chief's Knowledge

Heaving a sigh of relief, the elven chief smiled back at the small party. "Please, follow me."

As Jack's party followed the chief, they were taken down the main roads and grabbed the attention of most elves they passed. This was in part to having the chief lead them and also in part to them being humans. But most gazes lingered on Daliea in the end, making Jack all the more curious.

After another forty-five minutes of walking, the group finally reached the Ancient Life Tree. Inside the tree's base, many rooms were carved out but left vacant.

The chief led them to one of the larger rooms and grabbed the handle with green aura surrounding his hand. A latch was heard, activated by the magic, allowing them access to the room. With a smile, the chief held the door open and nodded his head. "Please, after you."

"Thank you, Chief Gwendon." Jack bowed his head as he entered first, followed by the women and the beasts.
