319. Sentreements
Aeon
I felt glad that of the first few elves that I took under my wing, one of them finally achieved a domain.
A part of me feared for them, and a part of me still dreaded the separation of death that occurred with Jura. I would lose Laufen as well, though her eventual death as an elven woman was still at least many hundreds of years away.
Life would eventually end, even for elves with their exceptionally long lifespan. That is the way of the world.
But even for me, there are days when I feel a little weary. Tired. Just like Lausanne said. There are times, moments, when one wished for the simpler days of the past. Now I would not have to witness Lausanne’s permanent death, and that was a great deal of relief. I was fond of them, the first few elves that walked the path with me. They were there for me, and I was there for them. And now, one of them would live, for as long as possible. In Lausanne’s domain, I had an additional anchor to my early village of Freeka days.
It also felt nice, a sense of validation that my goal wasn’t wrong. I had supported her in her dream to be a hero, even if that journey took hundreds of years and a long detour through many worlds. She would now be a domain holder, with the powers similar to a hero. No matter the choice she made, it was still a significant step up in her strength.
So, while Lausanne pondered her new pleasant dilemma, the wider worlds continued to demand my attention.
