Before Journey's End

Leserin has always lingered on the fringes of civilization — living the simple life of a wanderer. To an elf, the humans are loud, volatile, and always full of those fickle emotions. But then comes rumors of a powerful demon lord who intends to bring war to the Empire. It only gets even worse with the arrival of a certain Hero Party who shamelessly intends to recruit the elf! And yet, somehow, the Hero Party's offer is tempting on a level that defies Leserin's understanding. There's no way the mage would actually say yes... is there? A journey to defeat the Demon King himself. How preposterous. Canon divergence fic in the Sousou no Frieren fandom about the decade long journey of the Hero Party. Main original character replaces Frieren. Slow paced.
