Back at the Elves Tribe, Vicente found himself in a much less hectic place than when he had entered the area with the rest of Nan's group, bringing weapons from Light Cay for the war.
Weeks had passed, long enough for the situation in the war to undergo so changes, with the dwarves' treachery being exposed and several victories for the alliance subsequently. Vicente had fought little in the war so far, but his actions had already had an effect, bringing about several possibilities that led to recent victories.
Arriving at the core of the tribe again, Vicente saw that most of the experts of the race were not there. He already knew that figures like the elders he had t earlier were around Amae, fighting for the alliance's victory in the war. Consequently, he didn't look for these
individuals and was even glad not to see them there.
As interesting as it would be to interact with powerful and ancient local figures, he was more concerned about the conversations he would have with the descendants of the Polaris Realm's native elves. Not having these powerful local elves around wasn't a bad thing.
As soon as they arrived at the tribe, Garnot led the way to an early 8th stage elf, who was already waiting for the group. This elf took them to the estate where the three relatives of Polaris Realm natives in this tribe were staying, waiting for him.
"They only arrived a few days ago. But they're keen to talk to you, Senior Vicente," said the elf as he climbed the stairs that led to a property in one of the largest trees in the tribe's core, a wooden house big enough to host humans like Vice and Larissa.
Local elves weren't that big. Their length was more like that of dwarves and fairies, which made them much smaller than those from the Polaris Realm. But there were several races of elves on the island, as far as Vicente knew. So many of the elven buildings were ideal for people of their size, although there were smaller ones.
They arrived at the front of the house, where there was a small garden and a round door with several panes of colored glass on the side, which were impossible to see through from the outside, but whoever was inside the house would see everything from the inside.
Before the elf at the head of the group knocked on the door, it opened, revealing a man and a woman with similar appearances to the elves of the Polaris Realm.
The two grinned from ear to ear as they saw Vicente's physical features, clearly identifying him as a man from the Southeast of Polaris Realm.
"You must be Senior Vicente?" the pointy-eared, platinum-haired man asked, showing one of his hands in greeting to Vicente.
Vicente smiled, identifying in them the features of Polaris Realm natives, but also their clear willingness to talk to him.
"This is Tasar and Leena, Senior Vicente. They and Lyra are direct descendants of elves native to the Polaris Realm," said the group's guide, as Vicente and Larissa greeted Tasar and Leena.
The two invited the group inside, and as soon as they were inside the house, where there was a typically elven dining room, they saw a young woman who looked like she had just entered adolescence coming down the stairs with a bored look on her beautiful face.
This was Lyra, the last of the descendants who had been invited to this eting.
From what Vicente had heard, there were more descendants of Polaris Realm elves in Amae. But they were more distant and weaker relatives. These three in the sa house as Vice were now the most powerful and had the most information that t his requirents of the entire tribe.
"Senior Vicente, I know you have your questions, and we will try to answer them all. But before that, could you tell us about the situation in the Polaris Realm when you left? We were born in Amae, but we've heard about that distant land from our parents for a long ti."
None of them were related, but they had all heard stories of the Polaris Realm from their fathers or mothers and had acquired so curiosity about the continent. Unfortunately, the Nine Paths were broken, and it wasn't possible to visit the lower planes.
Vicente saw no problem in talking. In fact, he couldn't help but put a smile on his face when he had the opportunity to talk about his ho.
He had had his first life on Earth, but it had been in the Polaris Realm that he had really lived intensely enough to attach himself to important principles, culture, and preferences. His family that he rembered was in the Polaris Realm, and that was everything to him.
"Of course," he sat on the edge of the table, speaking with the optimism of soone who no longer feared the negative possibilities he had once thought of. After all his journey growing up here, he had seen enough signs to judge the difficulty of the mission he had left for his family: to defeat the vampires remaining after his departure.
"Polaris Realm was basically the sa as the one your parents left for a long ti. Small conflicts, wars, the rise and fall of great forces; it happened. But things were, until shortly before my departure, like what they had been for the last 1 million years.
That changed a few years before my departure. When I was growing up as a junior in magic, the Polaris Realm faced a major crisis with the vampires. The mbers of the race who were in the Polaris Realm after the end of the Nine Paths grew to what was necessary to claim the entire continent and nurture the first 7th stage vampire.
They failed, in part, and by the ti I left, the native forces of the continent were winning more and more battles. Now I imagine that the vampires have been exterminated on the continent or, if not that, they have been greatly weakened.
I can't say how your local Elves Tribe is doing, but when I left, I left them allied with my family. So I believe that the elven heritage still exists and will continue to develop over the next millennia in Majestic Treefrog Grove."
Tasar and Leena looked at Vicente with animation visible in their eyes, while Lyra seed less interested, although not as bored as she had been earlier.
"Unfortunately, I don't know if you'll ever access the Polaris Realm. But if I succeed, it's possible that you'll once again see elves native to the continent, perhaps even distant relatives of yours," Vicente added, before getting down to what he wanted there: to hear about what their relatives had shared with them and to confirm whether these elves were following the plans of the elves and dragons from Polaris Realm!
"Now, please tell about your parents' journey and ambition."
