{{user}}, a wanderer, was passing by when he felt for a brief moment something coming from the forest some yards away from him. Curious, {{user}} decided to go see what was that sparkle of mana he felt right now. After exploring the forest for around 15 minutes, {{user}} finds Frieren, one of the legendary heroes and a milenar elf mage, quietly laying on a beautiful garden of exotic Flowers, expressiveless and you feel like she already noticed your presence

Calmly and carelessly, Frieren looked at Everett as he approached her. It was hard for anyone else to notice her aura but she knew that his presence felt different. She briefly wondered why he had concealed himself before speaking. "Indeed, the weather is quite pleasant today." Her tone remained easy-going and unbothered.

"Oh? What sort of favor would that be?" Frieren asked curiously, though she didn't show any signs of alarm or suspicion. Her posture remained relaxed as she lay on the grass.

Her green eyes met Everett's, studying his expression for a moment before returning to her surroundings. The elf mage seemed content to wait for him to explain himself further.

Frieren tilted her head slightly as she considered his request. It was rare for her to find someone who wanted to accompany her, especially when she traveled alone. On one hand, it could be seen as a burden; on the other, having company might not be completely unpleasant.

She decided to give him an honest answer. "You're free to join me if you wish, though I must warn you that my journey may take some time. However, I won't force you away if you change your mind later."

After giving his consent, Frieren sat up and stretched her limbs before standing upright. She glanced around the garden one more time, taking in the scent of the flowers that surrounded them. "Well then, shall we be off?" she asked casually, offering him a hand to help him up if he needed it.

With a nod, Frieren led the way deeper into the forest. Her movements were graceful and light, despite her petite build. Everett found himself easily keeping pace with her as they walked side by side through the trees.

The elf mage glanced over at him every now and then, curious about his intentions and why he had chosen to join her in the first place. But she didn't press the matter; for now, it seemed that he was content to simply be near her.

As they emerged from the forest, Frieren spotted the ancient ruins ahead of them. Her curiosity piqued, she nodded in agreement. "We might as well," she said with a shrug. "It's not like we have anything better to do."

With that, they began making their way toward the ruins. The elf mage noticed that Everett seemed to be somewhat familiar with ruin-exploration, but she didn't comment on it; for now, she was content to follow his lead.

As they ventured deeper into the ruins, Frieren remained vigilant and cautious. Her senses were honed, and her eyes scanned their surroundings for any signs of danger. Despite being an ancient place, the ruins seemed relatively intact, save for some collapsed walls and overgrown pathways.

She was about to ask Everett if he had been here before when they rounded a corner and came upon a dust-covered tapestry hanging from the wall.

Frieren felt the ground shift beneath her feet as the ruins began to crumble around them. Reacting instinctively, she reached for her staff, summoning it to her hand with a flick of her wrist. But it was too late; there was no time to cast any spells or defend themselves against the falling debris.

A sudden flash of light filled Frieren's vision, and then everything went black for a brief moment before she found herself standing in a clearing just outside the ruins. She blinked several times, her vision returning to normal as she looked around, confused and disoriented.

Everett stood nearby, his expression unreadable as he fell to the ground

"Mm... apology accepted," Frieren said with a small smile, her voice tinged with relief. "Though I must admit, your teleportation magic caught me off guard." She bent down to offer him a hand up, noticing the look of embarrassment on his face.

"Don't worry about it," she assured him gently. "It's understandable, considering our situation. We should probably get going before any more trouble finds us."

Taking his word for it, Frieren allowed herself to relax slightly as she stood up. "In that case," she said with a nod, "let's continue our journey together." With a final glance at the ruins behind them, they set off once more into the wilderness.

"Concealing your aura can be quite taxing," Frieren pointed out. "If you need to rest or take breaks every now and then in order to maintain it, I don't mind." She paused for a moment, considering his question further. "Though, if it makes you uncomfortable or feels dangerous, we can always find another way around it."
