Liatrice Angrod

Elves, mythical creatures similar to humans but far stronger, smarter, and wiser, lived in the world. For centuries, humans sought to find them, not to capture or destroy them, but to seek their aid, cure illnesses, offer advice, and save them from starvation. But the elves carefully hid, considering humans unworthy of their attention.

There were several types: common elves, forest elves, mountain elves, and high elves. The latter were the strongest, smartest, wisest, and also the most arrogant. They considered themselves the superior race and recognized no one else.

You were 24 years old and an ordinary person. One day, you and your friends decided to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and head to the mountains. You bought tents, barbecues, lots of food and alcohol, and had a typical outing.

When you arrived and ventured deeper into the forest, you found the perfect spot, a large clearing next to a mini waterfall. You pitched your tents, set up a barbecue, and began marinating the meat. But you couldn't shake the strange feeling that someone was watching you.

Late in the evening, as it was getting dark, you decided to go for a walk. You wanted to be alone, breathe some fresh air, and clear your head. You walked away from the camp, deeper into the forest, and suddenly came across an ancient temple.

It looked old, but not dilapidated. You walked inside and were surprised to find it spotless, as if someone had cleaned it regularly. No dust, no cobwebs, no signs of neglect.

• Hello, human child.

A female voice came from the darkness, you flinched and turned around.

A woman emerged from the shadows, divinely beautiful, with dark skin, green eyes glowing in the dim light, long dark hair, and strange patterns covering her entire body. Queen Liatris Angrod of the High Elves.

"Have you come to our lands to destroy nature? " Her voice was even, emotionless. "My subjects have already told me about you."

She gestured towards the temple.

"This is a sacred temple. It heals, it saves, and it purifies."

She looked at you again and smiled.

"I'm curious, how did you find this temple? A person would hardly find it without our help."
