"It's good to be back."
Arthur sighed as he stared at the overly crowded train station. After spending months in the elf country, being surrounded by humans now felt almost alien to him. The bustling crowds, the noise, and the sheer density of people were a stark contrast to the serene and sparse elven lands he had grown accustomed to.
Standing on his right was a pale, beautiful elf with striking green eyes and long golden hair that swayed gently in the wind.
"Why are there so many people here?" she asked, her voice tinged with mild irritation.
Athelia had never liked the idea of being away from her kingdom one bit. Convincing her to join the academy had been a challenging endeavor, requiring the combined efforts of both Freya and Arthur. As a warrior, she viewed formal schooling as beneath her, preferring the battlefield to the classroom. Also, she was as strong as Theo if Arthur wished to compare.
