Destroying My Own Novel-Chapter 527 526: Alfheim.
Since Freyja agreed to what Mykel proposed, Aurea stayed in Folkvangr. Mykel then left with his team to travel around the Yggdrasil Tree since they wanted to see the worlds that existed inside the tree. The first place they went to was Alfheim where the light elves lived with Freyja's help.
Alfheim's world was nothing but a rainforest where the trees were as tall as skyscrapers. So many animals lived there, from weird-looking forest cats with very long ears and tails, deer with four stags, and birds with four wings. The air was so refreshing that they all felt relaxed which made them don't realize that they were being watched from the top of the trees.
"So, this is the land of elves? It's exactly as what the fairy tale described..." Rozan said as he walked behind Mykel.
"Yes, elves live here and Alfheim is ruled by Freyja as well," Mykel answered. "The elves are said to be prettier than the sun," Mykel pointed out as he looked at the sunray that went through the gap between the trees.
"Prettier than the sun?" Sven asked with curiosity.
Mykel hummed as he stared at the elf who was staring at him. He smirked and waved his hand at the elf since he didn't know much about Alfheim and its terrain. If they wandered without knowing where to go, they all would be lost in the forest forever.
Everyone looked up and saw the leaves falling down, but then they realized those weren't leaves, those were people in green robes. The elves landed around them and they were as tall as Mykel who was 6 feet tall. The elves' faces were dazzling and they all looked handsome and yet pretty at the same time.
All Elves had the same body structure, a muscular body yet not a manly body. Both the male and female had the same body, and the only difference was their genitals. Since elves didn't have any sexual desire, they never looked at each other as male or female, they looked at each other as brother and sister.
"We greet the prophecy," The tallest elf said, and his voice was as soft and soothing as a Goddess. "Goddess Freyja has informed us of your visit, so please follow us," he continued as he pointed at the northeast.
Mykel nodded his head with understanding and followed the elves who escorted them.
Rozan and the others were looking at the elves with confused and curious looks on their faces. They couldn't tell which one of them was the male and which was the female since they both wore the same attire.
"If you're curious about which are the males and females, ask them. You can't tell by looking at them with the naked eye," Mykel answered.
"So, which one of you is female?" Jeanne asked the elves who walked next to her.
Of the fourteen elves that walked around them, six of them raised their hands and showed their gentle smiles at them. It was as Mykel said, they were so dazzling that they couldn't look those female elves in the eyes. Lillith, Nagy, and Edith looked at the rest of the elves and they also couldn't look them in the eyes because of how gentle and pretty the male elves were.
"What do you think of them, Elena?" Jeanne asked since she was curious if Elena was interested in those pretty elves.
"What do you mean auntie?" Elena asked since she really had no idea what Jeanne was talking about.
"Right, never mind that then," Jeanne smiled as he held Elena's hand in her six-year-old body. She forgot that Elena was still a child in the head.
After two hours of walking, they finally saw the end of the forest and saw the city of white hidden in between the forest mountains and above the lake. The city was covered with mist because of the huge waterfall behind it.
"Welcome to our city, Ljosalf," The man said as he pointed at the city.
They all walked at the long bridge made of white stone above the lake. They could see silhouettes of weird animals in the water since the mist covered the lake.
"Can I ask you why with the visit?" The man asked Mykel.
"These two, I want you guys to let them stay here and study your archery and herb potions. If you dare to mistreat these two, you can say goodbye to your world," Mykel said and stared at the elf with a sharp gaze that made him shiver in fear.
Light elves were arrogant being they looked down on humans because humans acted like animals. Consumed by their own emotions and greed were the reason why light elves hated humans.
"Rest assured... even if we want to, Goddess Freyja will kill us all if we do that. You're our honored guest, and we wouldn't dare to do such things," The elf answered and tried to not show any fear.
Gerrard and Nagy looked at Mykel with admiration since they realized how Mykel treasured them both. It was a greater feeling than being recognized by the Gods. With that being said, they had decided that they would do everything to grow stronger with the opportunity given by Mykel.
They entered the city and they were surprised by the vines and plants that wrapped the pillars, the bridges, and the buildings. It was so calming and put them into a state of hypnotic relaxation and couldn't wait to explore the whole city.
Since Freyja was the ruler of Alfheim, there was no elf king or queen, but there were elders that ran Alfheim that were trusted by Freyja. Those elders were five hundred years old or above, and they could be called the ones who had authority over the Alfheim.
They made a welcoming party for Mykel and his team, but it was underwhelming because the food was all vegetables. There wasn't a single meat on the plate nor alcohol which made Mykel and the others feel like they were being tortured than being welcomed. f𝑟e𝒆𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗oѵ𝐞𝗹.c૦𝑚
"I pity you both," Rozan said as he looked at the distance of the beautiful waterfall. "You both might become vegetarians once you're back. Worse than vegans," Rozan chuckled as he looked at Nagy and Gerrard.
Nagy and Gerrard already knew that, and they had to endure it for the next three weeks, but suddenly Mykel whispered something to their ears so the others couldn't hear what he was saying. Nagy and Gerrard were shocked, and they both looked so excited and happy at the same time.
"Hey, what did he whisper to you both?" Sven asked with his eyes squinted.
"It's a secret," Nagy chuckled as she shook her head.
What Mykel whispered to those two was the power of the herbs and the food the elves consumed. Those vegetables had hidden power to give youth and had a super efficacy to help them grow stronger without having to train their body. Something that people call an Elixir, and that originated from Alfheim.
"Do you want to stay here for dinner or do you guys want to go to the next world? I can assure you the food is more delicious than here," Mykel asked.
? "Then there's no need to answer that question, we're going!" Gunnar said since he barely touched his food during the welcoming party. "I also don't like it here. I feel like something bad will sprout inside my chest," Gunnar said and he looked terrified. All the male and female elves were so pretty that he started to like them no matter what gender they were. "You should be careful here, Gerrard. You shouldn't go into the rabbit hole, you hear me?" Gunnar looked at Gerrard with a worried expression.
Gerrard chuckled as he nodded his head with understanding, but he already had someone he was interested in, and luckily she was with him. As long as he could see Nagy, he didn't have any problem even living among the elves.
Mykel, Lillith, Jeanne, and Edith knew that both Nagy and Gerrard liked each other. But they didn't say anything about it and let those two get together with their own effort.
"Alright, let's go back to Folkvangr first since we are going to Vanaheim with Freyja's help again," Mykel said as he looked at everyone.
They all left Gerrard and Nagy on their own, and the moment they came back to Folkvangr, they were surprised to see the whole place was turned upside down. They saw Aurea laying on the ground unconscious with Freyja and all the Valkyries standing around her.
"Oh, you're back already? Did you enjoy their food?" Freyja asked jokingly since she also hated the food there that was why she barely stayed in Alfheim.
