An Extra’s POV

"After that, well… things got a lot more complicated."

Ater sat in midair before Rey and Esme, going over the rest of his adventures in the Elven Society that he found himself in. There were a lot of things he spoke about, and he practically dissected many facets of their community during his stay there.

"Aurora was going to be confined until punishment, so I had to get a new host. It would have been detrimental for me to remain trapped with her." Ater continued, explaining how he possessed one of the Young Ones.

Apparently, the younger Elves were not punished at all, since Aurora was the Elder among them, and she influenced them in that regard. Still, they all felt bad for their leader and constantly worried for her fate.

Perhaps that was their punishment in its own way.

"Not only did I explore the community itself, but I went and saw the surrounding lands. The Elves have a very rich ecosystem, with Mana saturating the air." Ater continued.

"They have tons of natural resources we can exploit for production. Of the Great Dungeons that exist in this world, two are in the Eastern Continent, and one in particular is quite close to their community."

The more Ater went on, the more Rey and Esme realized just how much of a goldmine the Land of the Elves was. Not only did it provide an avenue to grow stronger, but it was practically a commercial jackpot.

"While it would be of great benefit to simply take away their resources and perhaps even control the populace to do our bidding… there is a bit of a problem. It was only when I realized it that I discovered the presence of a high existence in that continent."

Rey's brows were raised the moment he heard this. "High Existence?"

"The Oracle." Ater's eyes narrowed as he spoke.

He was no longer smiling, so every word he spoke oozed sheer seriousness.

"The Oracle is the connection between the Elves and Nature and possesses the gift of divine revelation. They also see all that happens in the Land Of The Elves, which is how I was able to notice their existence."
