Chapter 23 - The Warmth of Home

After ten quiet minutes of walking through the forest-lined path, Luceniel, Elunara, and Lily finally reached their home. The soft chirping of birds echoed gently through the trees, blending with the occasional rustle of leaves under a passing breeze. The atmosphere around them was light and peaceful—like a calm after a storm. All three were smiling, their footsteps unhurried, as if the world had finally given them a moment to breathe.

Luceniel looked at Elunara, her hand resting gently in his. Her eyes sparkled in the morning sun, the wind teasing strands of her hair across her cheek. He could tell she was relaxed, her usual sense of alertness softened.

"Honey," Elunara asked softly, her voice barely louder than the breeze. "What time is it now?"

Luceniel glanced at his watch and smiled. "It's already 11 a.m."

Elunara nodded with a content sigh. "Still plenty of time to rest."

They approached the front gate of their private estate, hidden deep within the protected zone. Surrounded by natural barriers and enchanted surveillance, it stood tall and silent—waiting for their return.
