Luna shuttled through the forest with a smile on her face as she bypassed the entwined hedges and passed through the pink and white flowers peeking out of the hedges. She was in a very good mood.
Earlier in the morning, her father finally relented and agreed to let Luna go out again. With her parents' agreement, the little one finally heaved a sigh of relief.
After that, Luna spent some time walking around the Fey's residence, saying goodbye to her new friends, flowers, vines, and trees one by one. After that, she returned to the starting point, intending to stay with her parents for one last time before leaving the Elven Forest.
Luna found the ancient tree where her family lived and flew up. Soon, she reached the middle section and arrived at the door.
The entrance to the Fey's residence was a small wooden gate. The hinges were made of twigs and branches, and the gate was made of vines and sharpened wood. Of course, such a small gate did not have the ability to resist external forces.
However, in the Elven Forest, this small wooden gate had a special meaning. It meant that the Forest Fey lived inside, and not animals like squirrels and tree owls.
The little one stretched out her hand and pushed gently, and the gate opened.
The layout of Tialope's house was divided into three levels. The lowest level was the storeroom, where various old things that her parents did not want to throw away were piled up. The level at the entrance was used as the living room to entertain friends. Further up, there were some small rooms that were separated. Those were Luna and her parents' bedrooms.
When the Fey built the house, in order not to damage the life of the tree, they would generally not hollow out the inside. They would only find a suitable place and dig out some of the tree material from the edge. Because the Elven Forest's vegetation grew at an extremely large scale, such a space was enough for the Fey. As long as they maintained a stabilizing spell, the house would not be swallowed up by the tree's recovery.
Luna saw her parents sitting on small chairs as soon as she entered the house.
"You're back?" Her father turned his gaze and said something of a greeting.
The little one nodded and did not say anything.
In the Elven Forest, it was rare for a Fey to be allowed to travel before reaching adulthood. Compared to the other Fey's family, her parents were quite tolerant.
Looking at her silent daughter, Luna's mother held back for a while. She could not help but ask her directly, "Silly child, when are you coming back this time?"
"… Very soon."
Luna said timidly, "The place I'm going to is not far from the Elven Forest. I should be able to come back every two or three months. If possible, it might be even longer."
"Remember to be careful."
Luna's mother said, "You have to be careful when you're outside. I heard that there are no forest fairies outside of the Elven Forest. It's too dangerous."
"I will," Luna whispered.
His father, Tialope, had been silent all this time. He pursed his lips and finally opened his mouth. "Your mother prepared some food for you and some small coins in the bag you brought back.
I don't know if we can use it outside. Take it with you. "
"… Okay."
"Also, we've found a companion for you. Lord Maxier has agreed to take care of you and bring you along."
"Yes."
The little guy continued to nod and only reacted after two seconds. "Huh?"
She was originally quite touched, but now she was stunned and said in shock, "Lord … Maxhill?"
"Yes."
Luna's mother nodded. "You really don't know how to behave. Your father specially went to the guardian's residence to ask about your matter."
"Finally, Lord Maxier said that he plans to go out for a walk. After knowing about our situation, he didn't mind the trouble and is willing to take you along."
"Wait."
Luna hurriedly waved her hand. She thought for a while and asked carefully, "What … is Maxier?"
"You child, you can't be so rude outside.
The guardians protect the Elven Forest and bleed for our safety. Can't you call them 'Lord'? "
Her father first sternly reprimanded her, then his tone softened. "Lord Maxier is a chimera."
At this time, Tialope looked at the sky through the wall window. "It's about time. That lord shouldn't be late. I'll go out and take a look."
As he spoke, he flapped his transparent wings that were wider than the female fairy's and prepared to go out.
"I'll go with you."
Luna hurriedly stood up. The place she wanted to return to was Blackwing's Nest, the territory of a big evil dragon. How could she bring a kind race there?
She was thinking about how to refuse, but when she opened the door of the tree hole, she saw a huge monster that occupied her entire field of vision.
Chimera.
If this name was translated in modern terms, it should be "chimera". They were not native to Airadia, but monsters completely created by the gods.
It was worth mentioning that other intelligent races had some misunderstandings about chimera chimeras. The humans in Airadia had seen too many chimeras and subconsciously thought that all chimeras were an evil tribe. To the creatures in the Elven Forest, they subconsciously thought that chimeras were all kind creatures.
This was actually a wrong and one-sided view.
Just like how there were good Tiya elves and evil Night elves among the elves, there were also differences between chimeras.
These chimeras were actually created by the two goddesses, Suren and Shar, and had a strong alignment.
The chimeras created by Shar belonged to the evil alignment. They were all two-headed monsters with a lion's head, a goat's body, and a snake's tail. They had sharp claws and purple scales, and they also had a pair of dragon-like wings. Like real dragons, they relied on levitation to fly and use their wings to adjust their direction.
The chimeras created by Suren, the Moon Goddess, were actually kind creatures. Because of the later generations, the Moon Goddess simply used the evil chimeras as a template. They were two-headed monsters with a goat's body and a snake's tail. They had claws and wings, but their heads were more like real dragons. They had no scales, only rough and wrinkled skin.
In the Elven Forest, there were a large number of chimeras of the good alignment created by the Moon Goddess.
However, no matter which faction the chimeras belonged to, they were all extremely ugly. It was likely that when creating these chimeras, the two goddesses had only considered their combat capabilities, and had never thought of giving these chimeras a certain degree of beauty.
Although they were also archenemies, when it came to the design concept of creating the lower class, they were completely inferior to the Platinum Dragon God and the Evil Dragon Mother. It should be noted that the majestic Gold Dragon and the ferocious Red Dragon were both popular. Because of their valiant strength and eye-catching appearance, they were respectively the representatives and leaders of their respective camps.
