2024-05-07 19:38:34In the heart of Sylvaneth, the bustling capital city of Verdantia, the air was alive with anticipation as the Verdant Council convened to discuss an upcoming event of great importance.
The gentle rustle of leaves, carried on a soft breeze from the nearby Great Forest, provided a soothing backdrop to the murmurs of conversation that filled the council chamber.
Seated around a circular table crafted from the finest wood of the Great Forest, the council members, comprising druids, rangers, and representatives from the tribes of the forest, gathered to deliberate.
"The Whispering Woods exam is a sacred tradition that has been passed down through generations,"
Elder Thalara, a venerable druid with wisdom etched into the lines of her face, began.
"It is a time for our young ones to commune with nature, to discover their strengths, and to learn the ways of our ancestors."
Beside her, Ranger Aric, a seasoned tracker with eyes as sharp as a hawk's, nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, the Whispering Woods provide the perfect setting for such an endeavor."
"Its ancient trees whisper secrets of old, and its clearings offer ample space for our children to explore and learn."
As the council members discussed the logistics of the exam, voices rose and fell in animated conversation.
Druids spoke of the importance of fostering a deep reverence for the land, while rangers emphasized the need for practical skills in navigating the wilderness.
However, amidst the enthusiastic discussion, a note of tension lingered in the air.
The topic of including lessons on survival skills and basic elemental magic in the curriculum stirred up conflicting emotions among the council members.
Some believed it was essential for the children's development, while others expressed reservations about introducing such advanced concepts at a young age.
In the midst of the debate, a young ranger named Talia raised her hand, her eyes shining with determination.
"I propose that we include lessons on survival skills and basic elemental magic in the curriculum," she suggested.
"Our children must learn to adapt and thrive in the wild, and what better way to do so than through hands-on experience?"
Her proposal sparked a lively debate among the council members, with opinions divided on the matter.
While some supported Talia's suggestion wholeheartedly, others voiced concerns about the potential risks and the age-appropriateness of such teachings.
Amidst the fervent discussion, Elder Thalara raised her hand, calling for silence amidst the heated debate.
"My fellow council members, we must remember the sacred purpose of this exam," she began, her voice carrying the weight of authority.
"It is not merely a test of skills, but a journey of self-discovery. Let us not lose sight of that."
With her words, the council fell silent, reflecting on the true essence of the Whispering Woods exam.
In that moment, a sense of reverence and unity settled over the gathering, binding them together in their shared commitment to the welfare of their children and the preservation of their ancient traditions.
Amidst the fervent discussion, whispers circulated among a few council members about the prince's participation in the upcoming exam.
The murmurs grew louder, causing Elder Thalara's brows to furrow in annoyance.
"Enough of these whispers," she interjected, her voice stern.
"If there's something to be said, say it aloud. We are in the middle of an important meeting, and such distractions are unwelcome."
Her words silenced the murmurs, and the council members returned their focus to the matter at hand.
The tension in the room eased slightly, but the underlying unease remained as they continued their deliberations.
Just as the tension in the council chamber reached its peak, the heavy oak doors swung open with a resounding thud, and a hushed silence fell over the room.
All eyes turned towards the entrance as Queen Elara Evergreen, the Verdant, made her grand entrance.
Draped in a flowing gown of emerald green, adorned with delicate vines and leaves that seemed to sway with every movement, Queen Elara exuded an aura of regal elegance.
Her long, flowing hair, the color of fresh spring leaves, cascaded down her back in gentle waves, framing her face like a verdant crown.
With a warm smile gracing her lips, Queen Elara strode gracefully into the chamber, her presence commanding attention and respect.
"Greetings, esteemed members of the Verdant Council," she greeted them with a melodic voice that carried a hint of mischief.
The tension that had gripped the room seemed to dissipate in her presence, replaced by an air of anticipation and excitement.
Queen Elara's mere presence had a way of lightening the mood and lifting the spirits of those around her.
"As we prepare for the upcoming Whispering Woods exam," Queen Elara began, her voice carrying a hint of excitement,
"let us remember the importance of this tradition in shaping the future of our kingdom."
"It is a time for our children to connect with the natural world, to discover their strengths, and to forge bonds that will last a lifetime."
Her words resonated with the council members, filling them with a renewed sense of purpose and determination.
Queen Elara's unwavering dedication to the well-being of her people and her deep connection to nature were evident in every word she spoke.
"Esteemed members of the Verdant Council," Queen Elara's voice echoed through the chamber, her words carrying an air of authority and determination.
"As we gather here today to discuss the upcoming Whispering Woods exam, I must emphasize that this year's event will be unlike any other."
Her gaze swept across the room, meeting the eyes of each council member in turn.
"We stand on the cusp of a new era, a time of great change and opportunity. And with that change comes the need for increased vigilance and caution."
"And in a departure from tradition," Queen Elara continued, her voice ringing with authority.
"this year's exam will not be limited to children of ten years."
"Instead, it shall encompass children from eight to ten years, providing even our youngest ones with the opportunity to partake in this sacred rite of passage."

Just before the technique takes hold—In a blinding burst of speed that most within the noble gallery failed to even register, Barrett Woods moved.There was no warning aura flare, no pressure surge, no distortion of air to announce his intent.One moment he was seated—composed, dignified, seemingly relaxed—and the next, space itself appeared to fold.In an instant, Barrett stood before Oasis.Two fingers snapped forward.They struck the side of Oasis’s neck with terrifying precision,landing on a point so exact that even seasoned Enlightened cultivators would hesitate to target it casually—a spiritual circulation node,a hidden convergence where refined mana flowed upward toward the conscious realm pathways to ignite the spiritual techniques.The impact was gentle.Yet devastating.The moment his fingers connected, Oasis felt it immediately.His spiritual circulation halted.Not shattered.Not disrupted.Sealed.!!!The reaction was instantaneous.Before sound could even catch up to

That stance was completely off,” Delvan whispered, barely containing his excitement.“Brother, if he shifted his weight just a fraction earlier—”Oasis nodded occasionally, offering brief responses, sometimes a faint smile, sometimes a single word.Delvan,

“And also—” Zenon continued, his voice calm but carrying an unmistakable weight, “what of those who were lingering behind the mountains?You said you had already dealt with them. Have you truly dealt with it, City Lord Welvard?”The hall fell quiet.Welvard straightened slightly, his expression firm.“Those ones were given until noon to vacate my territory,” he replied. “They had already left well before noon arrived.”Zenon nodded once, approving.“Good. It’s better to account for any variables that might hinder our plans. We don’t need inconveniences—especially unnecessary ones.”His gaze shifted subtly. “And who was handling the interrogation of the one I captured?”“Oh, that would be me,” Joy answered without hesitation.“Good.” Zenon’s eyes sharpened. “From what I understand, these enemies came from his region.Did he state whether there were more still stationed there?”“No,” Joy replied. “All who were present here are the only ones directly involved.His region is now under the
