A small clearing in the middle of the forest. An old man, the Elder, sits on a rock, wearing a robe decorated with mystical symbols. His face is marked by age and wisdom. Aline arrives to find him and the two talk. The light of dawn softly illuminates the scene, highlighting the details of his robe and the engravings on the stones around him.
