-5 years later-

-”Come on Sylfiel! Where are you? We've gotta hurry.”

-”I'm coming, grandma Edea!”

A girl looking to be 7 years old, stepped out of her room. She had pointy ears, and different coloured eyes, one blue, and one green. She wore a beautiful white silk dress, embroidered with gold. Her hair was silver, and it hung down to her elbows.

She lived in a little hut, created with what seemed to represent bamboo. The girl named Sylfiel ran out her room, ran through the corridor out to the entrance of the house where her grandma, Monda, was waiting for her. Her grandma didn't look old at all, compared to her age. She looked beautiful, with smooth skin, good curves and beautiful hair and eyes. She wore a warm smile, looking at the little Sylfiel that came running down the corridor of the house.

-”We've got to hurry now, or else we'll be late!”

-”I know, I know grandma.”

-”Don't you 'I know' me you little runt.”

Edea looked at Sylfiel with impatient eyes and a harsh tone could be heard when her voice sounded.

-”We'll be going to the palace today. It's the first time in years it's been opened to the public.”

A hint of curiosity could be seen drift through the eyes of Edea, while she looked up into the sky as if remembering her old days back when she was young.

While the two walked down the pathway, surrounded by the beautiful scenery of nature, a couple of shadows could be spotted up in the treetops, that were over 30 metres in height.

-”Grandma, do you know why the palace is suddenly open for everyone?”

-”I'm not entirely sure, but one of my old friends told me the royal family found some sort of treasure when they came back from the battlefield. They'll probably be showing it when we arrive.”

Walking up the pathway, they soon arrived at ladders that took them into the treetops. They crawled up to find themselves in a city build in trees. Hundreds of treehouses were connected using bridges made from wood and string. At the middle with the largest tree, windows could be spotted placed in the bark. The tree had been hollowed, allowing the palace of the royal family to settle down in the middle of the Elven Kingdom's capital city, Afrenthas.

Walking along the bridges were hundreds if not thousands of elves, each representing extreme beauty and wisdom. Each had different hair colours, eyes and clothing.

After a walk of a couple of minutes, Edea and Sylfiel arrived in front of the palace entrance in the centre tree. The entrance was extremely white, dazzling anyone looking at it. Different patterns had been carved into the front door while gold could be spotted decorating it.
