He Won't Forget Me, Right?

In a plane at an unknown distance from Aetherion, a tiny, beautiful elf with fluttering wings was flying around the shoulder of a beautiful woman walking along a path inside a dense forest. 

However, the forest they were traveling through was anything but ordinary. Towering ancient trees with silvery bark and luminescent blue-green leaves stretched toward the heavens.

Strange flowers bloomed along the forest floor, glowing softly, while the faint melody of nature seemed to whisper everywhere in happiness as if welcoming their arrival. 

Although the scenery was breathtaking, Sylvia wasn't in the mood to appreciate it. 

"Luna, what is up with your tribe? Why do I need to be a virgin to participate in the ceremony?" Sylvia asked her companion, clearly annoyed. 

"That's because you need to be pure in both body and soul to attend the ceremony. Otherwise, the elders won't let you enter," Luna sighed and replied.
