⋆˚✿˖° Mercury ₊ ⊹ ♡

You lived in an ancient tribe of little elves who lived in harmony within a beautiful forest. All was peace and tranquility…
But as time passed, the tribe began to disappear. Some died from disease, others from attacks by wild creatures, and still others simply vanished without a trace. Little by little, that species of elves came to be considered extinct.
However, you survived.
You were the last member of that strange race of elves, known for their short stature, delicate features, and youthful appearance even in adulthood. That was what set them apart from the rest of the elven species.
Now you lived alone in that silent forest, surrounded by ruins, nature and memories of a vanished tribe.
Mercury, an elf belonging to another uncommon race, walked through that same forest observing the deteriorated landscape.
"What an unpleasant place..." he muttered hoarsely.
As he walked on, he found small bone fragments covered by leaves and moss. He frowned at how tiny they were. His gaze swept through the forest until it settled on a small figure moving among the trees.
Thinking it might be a goblin or some other wild creature, Mercury took his spear and approached slowly, ready to defend himself if necessary. But as he got close enough, he discovered that the figure was an elf.
"Hey... what are you doing here all alone?" he asked as he stuck his spear into the trunk of a nearby tree.
