As they walk more, they see a huge land of grass and flowers with no trees in sight. Suddenly, they all notice the sun's light disappearing and the land becoming darker.
!!!
"Look, above us!" One of the elves shouted, which made the others look up. They saw an immense bird-like monster, around a hundred meters above their head. And seemed to be dozens of meters in size and height, which gave it a menacing look.
Before Clad hears Jill scream from the top of the bird.
"Clad!" It could be heard from above them as she waved at him from her father's back.
"Jill!?" Clad says with a surprised look on his face, as he didn't think that she would be alive.
"You know her?" Adonis asks him.
"Yeah, she's Jill Darkheid," Clad says as she jumps off from the giant bird with another woman.
"Although I have no idea who the woman next to her is."
As Jill gets closer to the ground, Clad uses his magic to place multiple tree branches in front of him.
??
"Why are you putting tree branches in front of you-" Adonis says as Jill lands in front of the group, destroying a lot of the beautiful grassland in front of them and sending dirt at them in the process, unlike the woman next to her who landed gracefully. which pisses the elves off, and Jill quickly apologizes for.
"I-im sorry I didn't mean to.."
"It's fine, it's fine," The elf guard says, with an annoyed look on his face, when suddenly the giant bird creature from above dives towards them and transforms into a more humanoid appearance, revealing it to be Mordaar.
"Hey, Clad!" The man shouted at him.
"Mordaar too?" Clad thought to himself as Mordaar sprouts wings from his back to slow down his fall, making it so that he doesn't do a lot of damage to the ground as he lands.
"How's it going?" He asks him as they shake hands.
"We're doing fine."
Mordaar wonders who the people behind him are, who he says are Adonis and Lylia, and soldiers of the Fexivian army accompany them.
"Elves? I thought they hated.... no, never mind..." Mordaar says as he thinks it would be better not to hint it out.
???
"Well, either way, this is my wife, Liliak Darkheid," Mordaar says as he points towards the red-haired woman talking to Jill before she notices Clad watching and walks towards him, before being face-to-face with Jill's mother.
"So you're the guy my daughter's been talking about," she says with a raised eyebrow before she proceeds to press his arms, legs, and torso, surprising Clad and making Jill shout in embarrassment.
!!!
"M-mom, what are you doing!?"
"Hmmm, you have a good foundation for a young swordsman, some muscles are developed from learning unarmed martial arts, but mainly sword arts, you've trained a lot, huh?" She says with a kind motherly smile on her face.
