With a slightly heavy, but accepting heart, Kosuke bid farewell to the beautiful elven woman. As a great poet once said, "Parting is such sweet sorrow."<br/><br/>With a final nod and a smile, Kosuke delivered his parting words to Antheo, "I too hope we meet again, Miss Antheo. Enjoy your stay in the city of "joy and goodness"." And so they went their separate ways... for now.<br/><br/>--------------<br/><br/>When Kosuke had first been allowed entrance to the elven city, they had told him where he could find a place of his own to stay. Incidentally, this was where he headed after his chat with the beautiful Miss Antheo had concluded.<br/><br/>It really was a beautiful room. The walls were white and the bed was comfortable and the room was decorated with a wide assortment of plants. He wondered if this was how all rooms in the elven city were decorated. If it were so, he wouldn't much mind. There was a certain point where he was sure it would begin to feel monotonous, but it was still beautiful. And it smelled nice.<br/><br/>The mage hung his bag up on a hook on the wall, placed conveniently next to the door. They had provided a closet and a dresser for him to store his things, but he really only had the clothes on his back, the things in his bag and the knowledge in his mind. In other words, the closet and dresser stayed empty.<br/><br/>Kosuke had expected something like it, but he hadn't been sure until he saw the note on the door:<br/><br/><div style="text-align: center;">Dear Guest,<br/>Bathing centers are located on the North, South, East, and West edges of town. Bathing is mixed. Please try to be civilized. <br/>- Elders of the Elven City</div><br/><br/>The traveler wasn't exactly sure how he felt about that, but perverts weren't allowed in the city, so he should be fine.<br/><br/>He'd had a seemingly short amount of time to settle in to his new abode when there was an announcement. Using some sort of magic, the elders of the Elven City projected the following message into the residents' minds:<span style="font-style: italic">To celebrate the arrival of the Fae into the Elven City, everyone is invited to a celebration in the center of town.</span><br/><br/>A celebration? Well that had to be neat. Kosuke grabbed his bag and made his way into the center of town. There were lots of fairies now accompanying the majorly elven population. There was lots of food and music and people dancing. Kosuke could see one fae woman in particular who was extremely beautiful. She reminded him of someone, but the memory evaded him.
