Six years later.
Spring had returned to the Valley.
The season always arrived quietly here, but when it did, it transformed in every sense. The long winter months slowly faded away, replaced by gentle sunlight and fresh colors that seemed to breathe life back into the land.
Green mountains stretched endlessly in the distance, their slopes covered in young leaves that glowed under the morning sun.
The trees surrounding the Valley were full again, their branches swaying softly whenever the breeze passed through.
Near the forest edge, birds sang cheerfully as if celebrating the spring season's return. The air smelled fresh. The sky was clear. And the sunlight felt warm without being harsh. It was the kind of spring day people remembered for years.
And for Axel and Evelyn, it was the perfect day.
Because today was the day they were finally celebrating their wedding properly in front of their family and closest friends.
