"True, but for now, we can enjoy this," Aaron added, and everyone spent the afternoon sharing stories, laughing, and simply enjoying each other's company.
The bond between them grew stronger and the challenges they had faced made moments like these even more precious.
On the final day of the festival, Aaron stood with Aurora, Luna, and Diana on the balcony of the mansion, looking at the crowd that was still celebrating.
The elven kingdom hadn't been reclaimed completely, but the people were really excited about what had been achieved so far and they couldn't wait to hear when the whole kingdom would finally be theirs again.
After the three-day festivities, Aaron sat in the war room of the mansion while looking at the maps of the elven kingdom, which were spread across the table.
The reclaimed locations were marked in green while the remaining two locations were still marked red.
