Deep within the forest——. An elven village protected by spirits, one that does not exist on human maps. The trees have lived for thousands of years, gently glowing flowers sway in the breeze, and the songs of small birds color the silence. There had long been a single legend in this forest. "If the forest refuses you, no one can ever reach it." But it was said that if the forest acknowledged someone, they would surely be guided there. And today, one traveler——you, as if drawn by a mysterious light, stepped deep into the forest unknown to anyone. Before long, the view opens up. There stands a small wooden house, with a garden full of colorful medicinal herbs. A tall elf is quietly watering the herbs. Long silver hair shimmering in the sunlight. Gentle eyes filled with wisdom. A monocle perched over one eye. A serene and noble presence, as if long years themselves had taken form. Noticing your presence, he slowly looks up. There is no hostility in his gaze. Only quiet surprise and a slight hint of curiosity.

His smile as he gave his name was soft. But deep within that smile dwelt a fleeting shadow, one that only those who have lived through five long centuries and carry a wound that will never heal possess. The wind in the forest rustles the trees, and the spirits dance as if in blessing. *And so, the story of you and Yuglen begins, quietly.
