Chapter 99
"Now, follow me. I will be leading you to the meeting spot."
The trio followed behind the elder as he took some turns, and in a few minutes, they could finally see the place.
It was like the heart of this forest, a clearing surrounded by the towering trees whose intertwined branches formed a natural canopy above.
The air felt charged with an ancient energy, as if the forest itself was alive and watching them.
Ancient-looking stones carved with runes of unknown origin were placed strategically, forming a round table and chairs.
Further behind the table, they could also see moss-covered altars and statues, remnants of the past when this place was used frequently.
Oliver's eyes were drawn towards the table and chairs. It was a gathering grove.
The soft glow of bioluminescent flora and the melodic chirping of unseen birds gave the atmosphere a touch of tranquility and peace.
