When we entered the Illusory Forest we were following a trail, each person was in their respective carriages and the Gray Elf who was leading the way was mounted on a Shadow Horse, this is a rare monster on this continent and also a monster that the Church of Light hunts as well as all monsters from the elements of Darkness, Shadows or the undead.
While we're inside the carriage I look out the window for respective directions, then turn to Sophia with the intention of asking her a few questions.
"Why are we still being followed even when we are being guided to the village of Elves?" (I)
"Because this is another test, to get to the village of the Elves you must pass three tests." (Sophia)
"What are these tests?" (I)
"The test of truth, the test of strength, and the test of will." (Sophia)
"The test of truth must be the questions they ask in Jargan City, right?" (Vanessa)
