481 The Elven Realm

"You. What are you doing here? This place is off limits."

Princess Elena's eyes then briefly shot to the casket, and she gasped. "T-this . . . This isn't Queen Aurora!"

Now that the spell was broken, the corpse that lay on the sarcophagus reverted back to its original form – an elven woman of unknown descent.

"You . . ." Princess Elena was quick to point fingers. "What did you do?"

Ren raised his hands in surrender and defended himself. "I didn't do anything. It's like that when I opened it."

"Lies!" Princess Elena's eyes narrowed. "We have regularly checked this place, and everything was fine until you entered here. Lle naa tarielya (Men take him away)!"

Ren didn't resist. It was a shortcut anyway, and he would cut so much time going to the Elven Castle this way.

Princess Elena created a portal with a swish of her hand, and this reminded Ren that the Princess was proficient if Dimensional magic.

A portal to the Elven lands was a magnificent sight to behold. The portal was oval-shaped and surrounded by intricate carvings of Elven script and symbols that glowed with an otherworldly light. The edges shimmered like starlight, a bridge between the physical world and the celestial realm of the Elves.

A gateway to a world of magic and wonder, where the mundane concerns of the mortal world were left behind, and Ren basked in the beauty of a realm beyond imagination.

As Ren approached the portal, he felt a sense of peace and tranquillity wash over him as if the very air were infused with magic. The portal emitted a faint humming sound, like the gentle hum of a tuning fork, that grew louder as he drew nearer.

Once he stepped through the portal, he found himself transported to a world of enchantment and wonder. The air was alive with the scent of flowers and the sound of birdsong, and the landscape was lush and verdant, with towering trees, shimmering streams, and rolling hills that stretched on as far as the eye could see.

The Elves themselves were a sight to behold, with their slender frames, pointed ears, and ageless beauty. They moved with ethereal grace as if they were dancing on air, and their voices were like music to the ears.

The land of the Elves was a mythical place that appeared in many works of fantasy literature. It was typically depicted as a place of great beauty and wonder, inhabited by an ancient and wise race of beings known as the Elves.

The Elves were often portrayed as having a deep connection to nature and magic, and their land was said to be filled with enchanted forests, sparkling rivers, and towering mountains. The architecture of their cities and dwellings was often elegant and graceful, blending seamlessly with the natural world around them.

The culture of the Elves was often characterized by a love of music, art, and poetry, as well as a deep respect for tradition and history. Their society was organized and hierarchical, with powerful rulers and councils of elders who made important decisions.

Despite their many strengths and virtues, the Elves were often portrayed as being somewhat aloof or detached from the concerns of the mortal world. They may be seen as mysterious and enigmatic, possessing knowledge and power beyond the understanding of ordinary mortals.

Overall, the land of the Elves was a place of great beauty, magic, and mystery, filled with wise and powerful beings who embody the best qualities of fantasy games.

Ren was then brought to the Elven Castle. And he was awed at the majestic, ethereal structures that blended seamlessly into the mountain, where rivers formed numerous waterfalls and dropped in every direction, creating pockets of lakes and aquatic ecosystems.

They were typically built using the finest materials, such as polished stone, marble, and rare woods, and were adorned with intricate carvings and elaborate mosaics.

The design of the elven castle often incorporated curves and flowing lines that mimic the organic forms of the surrounding landscape. Turrets and spires jut out from the walls, reaching for the sky, while hidden alcoves and secret passages were woven into the castle's architecture.

Elven castles were also known for their magical qualities, with enchantments woven into the very fabric of the building. These magical wards could protect the castle from outside forces, such as evil spirits or hostile armies, and could even provide healing properties to those who dwell within.

The Elven castle was the epitome of beauty, elegance, and grace, embodying the ancient wisdom and natural magic of the elven people.

Upon entering the castle, Ren was greeted by a grand hall that exuded elegance and grandeur. The hall was adorned with intricately carved wooden pillars, shimmering crystal chandeliers, and delicate tapestries that depicted scenes from Elven lore. The floors were made of polished marble, and the walls were decorated with ornate murals and frescoes.

The interior of the castle was typically furnished with elegant, finely-crafted furnishings, such as hand-carved wooden chairs and tables, plush velvet draperies, and intricate tapestries. The walls were often adorned with delicate murals and paintings of scenes from nature or elven folklore.

From the grand hall, Ren accessed the other rooms of the castle. The throne room, where the Elven king or queen held the court, was a breathtaking space with a majestic throne at the center. The walls were lined with golden tapestries, and the floors were covered with plush rugs made of exotic furs.

At the far end of the room, a large throne sat upon a dais, crafted from the finest materials and decorated with precious gems and metals. The throne was ornately designed, with flowing curves and intricate patterns that symbolize the grace and elegance of the Elven people. A plush cushion made of velvet and silk covers the seat, providing comfort for the occupant.

On either side of the throne, tall torches blazed with bright, magical flames that never extinguished. The light they provided cast a warm, ethereal glow across the entire room, making it feel as though one had stepped into a magical realm.

The room was filled with various artifacts and treasures, all of which were of great importance to the Elves. Ancient tomes, mystical artifacts, and rare gems were displayed in alcoves along the walls, adding to the grandeur and wonder of the area.

As Ren entered the throne room, he was immediately struck by the sense of power and majesty that emanated from the throne. It was a place of great importance, where important decisions were made and where the rulers of the Elven kingdom held court. It was a space that commanded respect and awe, a true symbol of the might and beauty of Elven civilization.

When nearing the throne, Ren saw a dazzling figure standing before him. The Elven Queen was everything he had imagined and more –– she was tall and regal, with skin as white as snow and hair like platinum blond, almost white. Her eyes were a deep shade of green, and they seemed to sparkle with magical energy.

The queen of the elves was often depicted as a beautiful and ethereal being with a regal bearing that commanded respect and admiration. She was said to be wise, kind, and powerful, with an almost supernatural beauty and a glowing aura, ruling over her subjects with grace and authority.

She wore a gown of gossamer fabric decorated with glittering jewels and intricate embroidery. On her head, she wore a crown of leaves and flowers and carried a scepter that symbolized her authority.

Despite her otherworldly beauty, the queen of the elves was a fierce and powerful figure with the ability to command magic and bend nature to her will. She was said to be compassionate and just but also capable of great wrath and fury when her realm was threatened.
