I am the fairy\elf king???/

With the tension diffused, Jace and Ainz decided to set aside their differences, agreeing to discuss their respective goals. During their conversation, Jace mentioned hearing rumors of a figure establishing a settlement in the Great Jura Forest—a person said to be uniting various races under a single banner. Intrigued by the potential for alliances, Ainz suggested they investigate together.

The journey to the Great Jura Forest was filled with cautious exchanges. Jace remained wary of Ainz, despite the temporary truce, while Ainz observed Jace with curiosity, intrigued by the young warrior's connection to the forest and his impressive combat prowess.

When they arrived at the outskirts of the forest, the sight before them was unlike anything they had expected. A bustling village was taking shape, populated by a diverse array of beings—goblins, wolves, lizardmen, and even ogres. At the center of it all stood a figure radiating a calming yet commanding presence: Rimuru Tempest.

Jace and Ainz approached cautiously, drawing the attention of the village's inhabitants. Rimuru greeted them warmly, his demeanor friendly yet authoritative. "Welcome to our humble village. What brings you here?"

Jace introduced himself and explained their journey, while Ainz, maintaining his Momon persona, added his own polite introduction. Rimuru listened attentively, nodding as they spoke.

"I've heard of both of you," Rimuru said thoughtfully. "The Fairy King's Forest and the tales of the Dark Hero are not unknown to me. What is it you seek?"

Jace stepped forward. "We've come to propose an alliance. If our lands were ever to face threats, it would be wise to stand together."

Rimuru considered the proposal, his gaze shifting between the two visitors. "An alliance... That could benefit us all. But first, I must know more about your intentions."

What followed was a lengthy discussion, during which Jace and Ainz shared their visions for their respective territories. Rimuru, in turn, explained his goal of creating a peaceful and prosperous haven for all races. The sincerity in his words resonated with both Jace and Ainz.

By the end of the talks, an agreement was reached. An alliance was forged, with promises of mutual support and cooperation in times of need. To commemorate the occasion, Rimuru hosted a feast, inviting all the villagers to celebrate the newfound partnership.

As the festivities unfolded, Jace found himself reflecting on the day's events. The clash with Ainz, the encounter with Rimuru, and the formation of the alliance all felt like pieces of a larger puzzle falling into place. For the first time in a long while, he felt a sense of hope for the future.

Ainz, too, seemed content, though his thoughts remained veiled. The alliance with Rimuru's village added another layer to his intricate plans, and he couldn't help but admire the young warrior who had brought them to this moment.

As the night wore on, the three leaders sat together, sharing stories and laughter. Though their paths had only just crossed, it was clear that their destinies were now intertwined in ways that would shape the future of their worlds.

With the alliance solidified, Jace proposed an idea to fortify their nations further. He suggested that the Goddess Hestia grant everyone within the Fairy King's Forest, the Great Jura Forest, and the Great Tomb of Nazarick a falna, imbuing them with strength and a deeper connection to their respective territories.

Rimuru and Ainz were intrigued by the suggestion. A falna could provide their people with unique abilities and enhance their capabilities in the face of external threats. After some deliberation, they agreed to the plan. Jace volunteered to take the lead, offering to send a ship to Hestia so she could perform the ritual.

Returning to the Fairy King's Forest, Jace began preparations to contact Hestia. Word of the plan spread quickly, and the inhabitants of the three regions expressed their excitement and anticipation. This unprecedented union of power and cooperation signalled a new chapter for their worlds.

When the ship set sail for Nexus, carrying emissaries and gifts for Hestia, Jace felt a sense of pride and determination. The path forward was uncertain, but with allies like Rimuru and Ainz by his side, he knew they could face whatever challenges lay ahead.

In the meantime, Jace resumed his role as a leader and protector, ensuring that the bond between their territories grew stronger with each passing day. The seeds of unity had been sown, and with time and effort, they would blossom into a force capable of shaping the destiny of their realms.
