The dark night had fallen. The light of the full moon illuminated the forest with its gentle silver glow, bringing life to the towering giant trees. The leaves of the trees seemed to glow as if they had their own inner light.
Moving in the shadows, Klaus and his crew walked silently without making a sound. They moved with caution, avoiding dry leaves that could produce unwanted noise.
Currently, they were in the elves' territory. They were attempting to infiltrate the elven village without being detected.
"Quiet!"
Klaus suddenly stopped, raising one hand. His three crew members quickly halted. As Olivia was about to ask what was going on, Klaus hissed while touching his finger to his lips.
The leaves rustled, and two elves appeared on top of a tree. They perched on a branch, armed with bows and arrows. Klaus immediately gestured with his hand, signaling his crew to lower their heads.
