Draven looked at the two of them and thought,
*Forest Elves... They aren't really that different from Dark Elves. It's like a black dude and a white dude, I guess. There are races everywhere.*
He put on a cute expression.
"Nice to meet you, Aunt Olivia. Did you bring me a present?"
Olivia smiled.
"Since I'm your aunt, of course I brought you a present."
She raised her hand, and magical energy gathered in her palm.
A bow crafted from shimmering wood materialized in her hand.
"This is a bow made from a branch of the World Tree," she said.
Draven's red eyes lit up.
He quickly snatched the bow from Olivia's hand.
"Thanks, Aunt!" he exclaimed.
*I can't believe I got a bow made from the World Tree.*
*The World Tree, also known as Yggdrasil, the Tree of Life, is a massive tree in the middle of the Elven Forest that protects the forest. It's even bigger than a skyscraper or something.*
*And how do I know all that? I read about it in a book.*
*That's not the point.*
*The point is, I got a bow made from one of its branches!*
*What can it do, anyway?*
Elliana looked at Olivia.
"Is it okay to give away your weapon?"
Olivia smiled.
"It's okay. It's no big deal. It's a gift from an aunt to her nephew."
Draven's eyes narrowed slightly.
*I remember reading that only members of the Elven Royal Family can get a weapon made from the World Tree.*
*So she must be part of the royal family.*
Elliana turned toward Draven.
"Draven, why don't you go play with Hannah while I catch up with Aunt Olivia?"
Elliana and Olivia walked away, leaving the two of them alone.
Draven looked at Hannah.
*I hadn't even noticed she was standing there this entire time.*
*Did she just stand there this whole time without saying a word?*
*Wow. She looks young, but I bet she's at least twenty or even thirty.*
*Telling me to play with a thirty-year-old... What am I supposed to do?*
Olivia placed a hand on Hannah's head.
"Why don't you play with Draven for a while? I'll catch up with your aunt, okay?"
Hannah simply nodded without uttering a single word.
Draven looked at her.
*I see. She doesn't talk much.*
