A few hours passed after the battle with the stone bird.
The young man finally arrived at the source of the magical remnants.
And, as he had expected, there stood a settlement of Elven people.
But there was one thing which the young man did not expect.
At the entrance of the village, Elven men were gathered and held bows aimed at the young man.
The young man stopped in his tracks, and took a closer look at an Elf holding his bow.
(I’m not sure because their face is hidden with cloth, but it appears that their ears are long
According to folklore, they were masters of the bow… but those are just normal, unenchanted arrows. Still they could kill me if I were to deactivate the barriers, so it’s best I keep vigilant
But their attitude certainly sticks out.
They’re obviously scared.
Perhaps they hid their faces to mask that fear?
Even from an amateur’s perspective, I’m quite relaxed, while I can tell that they aren’t hostile but rather horrified.
…Don’t tell me that rock bird was their trump card?
