Chapter 5: Banquet

The welcome feast in the largest hollow inside the World Tree sapling was in full swing. The sun had set a while ago, but the faint magical light being emitted by the lake surrounding the venue was holding back the veil of night so effectively that there was no need for fire at all. The elves were used to this sight, but the human group marveled greatly at it, imagining that they were gazing at a scene from a myth or legend come to life. The breathtakingly beautiful Elven Queen, still floating in the position of power in the middle of the hollow, further amplified that impression.

Reen sighed. “It’s so beautiful...”

Ever the shrewd self-made woman, Julia reflexively replied, “It’d make for a great tourist destination,” prompting a nod of agreement from Frederica.

Aside from the floating queen, everything here was pretty much how Luna remembered it, and she therefore did not look particularly moved. Sol was sitting a ways away, but he was far too occupied to properly enjoy this wondrous view.

On the other hand, the elves were trying to show his group the very best hospitality they could. Having had almost no contact whatsoever with humans for the past millennium, they were discovering, to their surprise, just how highly humans valued elf wine. The way Frederica had forgotten herself when she first heard it mentioned had been little more than a glimpse.

The elves’ livelihood was by no means affluent, and therefore their stock of elf wine wasn’t all that significant. That said, it was something they absolutely needed for rituals and celebrations, so they always had a certain amount available at all times. Since their saviors were interested, the elves did not mind opening every last bottle that night. Along with the alcohol, they also set out more than enough food to feed the whole village, not hesitating to empty their larders.

“They sure pulled out all the stops,” Julia commented.

“When the elves celebrate, they do it wholeheartedly,” explained Luna, who had some familiarity with the race. “They believe that it is an outright disgrace to ply guests with food and drink while they themselves endured empty stomachs. They would rather not have a feast at all if that was the only option.”

To entertain a guest in the true meaning of the term, besides paying great attention to every last detail, the hosts had to enjoy themselves too. This was not just a matter of pride; it was a way of life that the elves could not imagine compromising on.

“Also,” the elf serving Julia and Luna said happily, “we heard that even if we emptied all our stores, Emelia would send more food. That’s how we’re able to hold such a large banquet. No words can express how thankful we are.” She then bowed deeply to Frederica, with all the other elves nearby following suit.

Since someone with the strength to wipe out their whole race had promised to provide support, there was no point in doubting him. So they were now holding their biggest feast in a thousand years.
