458 Returning to the human domain [2]

"Been a while since I've been here." 

Standing on top of the boat that led to the enormous white building in the middle of the lake, lowering my head and taking a look at the crystal clear water of the lake, I marveled at the sight. 

As the boat moved, the calm and still water of the lake rippled, and the imagery of the mountains in the distance reflected on the surface of the water distorted. 

Taking my eyes away from the water, a calming breeze tickled my ear lobes as I could faintly hear it whispering something in my ears. 

Every time the wind passed by, it left behind a scent of maple and berries so strong that it made my nose twitch. It smelt heavenly organic yet delightfully tasty. It reminded me of the sweet honey-like brew that the elves had to offer. 

Tok—

It wasn't before long that we finally reached the other side of the lake as the front side of the boat gently touched the small wooden pier.
