Elves

History
The elves were not created through imagination, through plague, through accident, but through something altogether different than what had created all other races... Here is their story...

Millions of years ago, when the world was still young, when the forgotten weren't forgotten, there had been a female forgotten one, named Lareyla. She loved nature, and would often walk in the forest and on the beach and feel the joy of its beauty. She was the most beautiful of the forgotten, and was the wife of the lord of all forgotten. One day, as she walked through the forest, she me a stranger. He didn't look like a forgotten one, nor a child of light, nor a demon. His skin had a slight green tinge, he had pointy eras, a lithe shape. He moved in such a graceful way, so quiet, that had he not walked up to her, she would have never noticed him. Without a word, he had walked up, and kissed her, then, walked away. Lareyla found a though suddenly in her head. This being was Lorican, god of nature, he loved her for how she cared about nature and beauty when nobody else would, and that he had given her a gift. Soon, she found that she was with child, and she ran into the deep wood. There, under the leaves, surrounded by trees, she birthed a boy and a girl. They were the first elves. She hid the children, fearing her husbands wrath upon them. From this boy and girl elf came the rest of the elven species, A people of beauty, mystery, and nature. After the first war, they fled to a deep wood so far away that even the elves hadn't explored it. They used their magic, and together, all of the elven people raised the forest and the surrounding land out of the ground. There made the flouting island sail away from the Forgotten, from all then had know, and eventually, all they had know became forgotten. Time passes, and the elves grew and grew, but they never found the edge of their island, and they eventually forgot even that. More time passed, and a prince was born, and for a reason the mother couldn't tell, she had named him Lorican.

The Story of Lorican

In a far far away forest, from another time, maybe anther space, there was a prince. A prince of an elfin people. The elves were in tune with nature, an one of their many ideals was beauty. they looked for lands that were special, and made a vast network, an empire without equal, an empire of magic. The prince was young, but a 49 year old when he saw something more beautiful than any of the amazing sights he had seen. He saw a single elf-woman, an became her friend. However, this woman didn't love the young prince, and when the prince revealed his emotions, he was rejected. The elven-prince flew into an emotional whirlpool, and ran. On, and on, he ran. Through time, through space through hunger, through pain, he ran. He ran for 7 years, through seven years of pain, turmoil, saddness, until he reached the edge. The edge of both his mind, and the world. He then stopped, and stared down this edge of two places. Within his mind, he saw nothingness, no more pain, no more beauty, utter nothingness. And down his worlds edge, he saw the same, until, on the 13th day, he saw a light. And the light, was, beautiful. The light embraced him, filled him, re-birthed him. The nothingness on the edge of his mind was filled. He began to climb, and down he went, not towards despair, and loneliness, but towards something new. the stars swirled around him, the wind played with him, and some times rock might not hold true for him, but his resolve never failed. after many days, he put a foot down onto grass, and he sank his toes down, and felt the dirt. he turned around, and beheld a world much like his own, filled with beauty, and new beginnings. he turned around and found that the cliff was gone, and he looked up and he saw a speck the size of a leaf in the sky, but didn't care. perhaps it world return, perhaps it would't, he would make his own home here.

Present day, to the future: Lorican explored this land, and after many years, he found other beings, and made friends, he built, and found a few elves that had also come from his land. He began to set up a Community. He taught, he learned, He was fair and his people loved him. The elves would bring glory and beauty, where ever they went. ~ Original lore of Aeonis
