บท 886: Lesson Learned

⟬ Several weeks prior, on the roads to the Tree God's Forest. ⟭ 

Elle lied on the grass, gazing up at the cloudless blue sky. 

It was the same sky she and Rena and Justus used to stare at... back when they were children in a small town called Leopardon. 

The heavens seemed... unending. 

--which was exactly how her training felt. 

"Are you going to lie there all sun, my love?" 

Tychon's voice was deep and comfortable. Elle had a feeling that if she closed her eyes, she'd be able to sleep the rest of the sun away... 

She felt a coolness on her face... of her boyfriend blocking the sun for her. His golden eyes were calm and gentle. His dark green hair swayed softly in the breeze. 

For a moment... Elle wondered if she was dreaming. If so, waking up would be a shame. 

"Just.... five more minutes," She mumbled underneath her breath. 

"How cute," Tychon's mouth twisted into a light smirk as he extended his hand.
