Chapter 24: An Elf in the Dark
With a gentle descent, the dragon gradually brought them closer to the ground, their landing mirroring the graceful movements of a falling leaf.
The Lokney lake, as they landed beside it, was stretched out before them like a tranquil mirror, its waters shimmering with a breathtaking sparkle. Each ripple carried a whisper of serenity, as if the lake itself held the secrets of an ancient realm.
As their feet touched the Earth, Eerik's strong and steady grip supported Kara, his touch exuding warmth and tenderness. A soft kiss graced her forehead, the gentle brush of his lips sending a wave of affection through her entire being.
With a graceful farewell, the magnificent creature that had carried them across the sky slowly departed. Its steps merged seamlessly with the ripples of the lake, vanishing into the waters as if it were an ethereal being returning to its watery realm. The scene was both mesmerizing and enigmatic, leaving Kara with a sense of awe and curiosity.
