Parallel Memory

The next day, as the sun gently bathed Eldoria in its golden rays, the group gathered in the inn's common area, ready to embark on their exploration of the Elven Capital.

However, when Zero reached the area, he was surprised with the unexpected guest.

"They were also going to explore the city, so I thought that we could do it together. Zero, you don't mind right?"

Amelia said. Hiro and his group were also waiting for Zero. He nodded his head as it didn't matter to him.

Although it was surprising how quickly Amelia became friends with Lisa, Sylvia and Misha. Mia was also getting along well with them but there was this boundary of Mia being their teacher, so they couldn't make themselves as comfortable as they did with Amelia.

Anyways, Lisa, Sylvia and Misha were Amelia's first friends since Mia and Adeline, which is why she wants to spend time with them.

Outside, they were greeted by a friendly Elven guide named Lyria, who had a radiant smile and an air of grace about her. She introduced herself warmly and expressed her delight in showing them around Eldoria.

"Welcome, honored guests. I am Lyria, and it's my pleasure to be your guide today. Eldoria has much to offer, and I hope you will enjoy every moment of your time here."

Since we needed to be accompanied by Elves if we wanted to go outside, Lyria seemed to be our guide. Every Elves as rumored seemed to be beautiful, it was even the case for Aranic who seemed to be more on the beautiful side than handsome.

With that, they set off on their exploration, with Lyria leading the way through the winding streets of Eldoria. The city was a living testament to the Elven appreciation for nature, with lush gardens and majestic trees adorning every corner.

The Elves who lived there when they noticed them would gazed curiously at the humans accompanying Aranic. Some seemed to just be curious while others were on guard and even had their kids go inside the house.

"Please, don't be offended by them. It is their first time seeing humans and they don't know how to act when they see one."

Lyria said, trying to explain the behavior of Elves. Even with them already knowing that humans were coming, not everybody was okay with that.

Under the guidance of Lyria, the combined group of humans and Elve embarked on an enchanting journey through the iconic places of Eldoria.

As they strolled through the city, Lyria shared the rich history and significance of each location, making the experience all the more immersive and captivating.

Their first stop was the Great Tree of Eldoria, a colossal ancient tree that stood at the heart of the Elven Capital. It was said to be the very first tree that the founders of Eldoria had planted when they settled in the land centuries ago.

The Great Tree was not only a symbol of life and nature but also held immense magical power. Its roots spread deep into the earth, drawing mana from the land and infusing it with the city's protective barrier.

Zero could see that there was a large barrier surrounding the city. Although at the moment, it didn't seem strong enough to even withstand his power. Zero thought that maybe it was something like a surveillance system.

As they admired the majestic tree, Lyria shared tales of the ancient Elven heroes who had defended their homeland against various threats, protecting the city and its citizens.

Next, they visited the Crystal Lake, a pristine body of water known for its crystalline clarity and magical properties. The lake shimmered with hues of blues and greens, reflecting the surrounding flora and the radiant Elven city.

Lyria explained that the Crystal Lake was considered sacred, believed to be a portal to the realm of spirits. It was a place where the Elves came to meditate and seek guidance from the ancient spirits that watched over their people.

Amelia and Mia were particularly fascinated by this concept, as it resonated with their connection to magic and the unseen realms. They spent some quiet moments by the lakeside, feeling the serene energy that emanated from the waters.

They could feel their mana being regenerated faster. Maybe there was really something in the Crystal lake though they didn't ask as it would be impolite to do so considering how Elves considered it sacred.

From there, Lyria guided them to the Hall of Whispers, an extraordinary building with shimmering, translucent walls that seemed to carry whispers of forgotten knowledge. It was a repository of Elven wisdom, where the most skilled scholars and sages gathered to share their insights and discoveries.

Girls were enjoying themselves and talking with each other happily. They even became somewhat of a friend with Lyria. They seemed to be having the time of their lives exploring the new place.

On the other hand, the three boys in the group were as silent as dead. They followed behind them, however, there was not much conversation going on between them.

Zero doesn't speak much and the same is the case for Zion. Moreover, the Zion and Zero relationship is not exactly the best. Hiro tries to speak, however, met with silence or just a slight nod.

Anyway, they continued exploring the place. But it seems like it was not only the human race that was out there today.

Aasimar, often called the Descendants of celestial beings, was also roaming Eldoria with a Elve guide. Of course, they self-proclaimed themselves as the descendant of celestial beings with humans not really acknowledging them.

Since, humans worship gods and angels are said to be messengers of gods. However, even if Aasimar has the appearance similar to angels, they are not acknowledged as such.

There was even a conflict with Aasimar as humans thought they were being there to deceive them. Because of that, there was a train in the relationship between Aasimar and humans, although in this age there doesn't seem to be any hatred.

Well, they also noticed Zero and his group. Although a bit surprised, they seemed to already know that they were here. Same was the case for Zero and his group.

However, instead of avoiding each other, Assimar made their ways towards Zero and his group.

As the Aasimar approached Zero and his group, their radiant presence was undeniable. They exuded an otherworldly aura, with faint glimmers of divine energy enveloping them. Zero's group, though somewhat reserved, was curious about Aasimar as they were in small numbers and also because they somewhat looked divine to them.

The leader of the Aasimar, a figure with striking silver hair and ethereal blue eyes, greeted them warmly.

"Greetings, thou humans! I am Seraphina, and in the company of Uriel and Gabriel, we chanced upon thy presence in our venture through the city and deemed it most fitting to extend our salutations unto thee!"
