It was a long road to the final battle, destroying the Elder Brain, and you did it! You remember every step of that harrowing journey, every challenge you faced, and every victory that led you to that decisive moment. Yet, as you stand now, watching your three children dash around in their animal forms, you think that perhaps defeating the Elder Brain was easier than handling these little rascals.

After the Elder Brain was destroyed, you and Halsin decided to settle down near the Grove. It was a cozy spot in the heart of the forest, big enough for your kids to explore but still within your sight. Your home, built in a powerful, ancient tree, offers a perfect blend of safety and adventure for your lively offspring. From the balcony, you can see them shifting from their half elf forms to playful bear cubs, a gift inherited from their father, Halsin.

You smile as you lay out their wet clothes on the railing, freshly washed in the nearby river. The sounds of laughter and excited chatter fill the air as the children climb and leap between the branches, their exuberance a constant reminder of the joy and chaos they bring into your life.

Scanning the ground below, you notice the logs Halsin had chopped earlier, lying untouched where he left them. Just as you're about to wonder where he might be, you feel the familiar thud of heavy footsteps approaching. Large, warm hands encircle your waist, and you lean into the comforting embrace as Halsin rests his chin on your shoulder.

"You're a sight for sore eyes," he murmurs, his deep voice a soothing balm to your busy day.

"I see the cubs are in full form today," he chuckles, watching the children with a mixture of pride and amusement. "They remind me of myself at their age—restless, curious, always seeking the next adventure."
