An Extra’s POV

'How time flies…'

Rey smiled to himself as he stood by himself, facing a crowd of Elves that had escorted him to the very edge of their Community. He had wanted to take a small walk on his last day here, and it seemed everyone was somehow made aware of that.

The Young Ones, Elders, and Esteemed Elders all gathered in his presence and took the walk with him until he got to the Community's boundary.

Then, looking at all of them now, he couldn't help but smile.

'The past few days have been a mixed bag. It's been fun learning even more about the Elves and exploring their land a little, but it's also been…' Rey set his eyes on one of the two people that stood in front of the crowd.

It was Esme.

'... Awkward.' They hadn't really spoken ever since she told him she needed space from him, and he didn't think they were going to say anything before he departed. They often relayed communication through eye signals, or by using Kara—who was currently right beside Esme—as an intermediary.

'Kara and Esme will be staying behind to continue the work I started here. They'll also be overseeing the exploration and exploitation process in the land.' That meant, despite the three of them arriving in the Community together… only he would be returning.

Rey reckoned he might have to bring in more workers at a later time, but he couldn't just bring strangers into Elven Land—especially when they had just gotten used to Kara and Esme.

'For now, we'll use Golems and Elementals for the tasks, while Esme and Kara will manage.' Rey, of course, would do his best to remain in the loop of things, so the whole thing was supposed to go smoothly.

'And in the case of another Dragon Invasion, I'll be sure to look out for any signs…'

Having done all he could on his part, making all the preparations necessary for his absence, Rey reckoned he had nothing left to do in the Elf Community. In fact… that had been the case for over a day now.
