Silax a young elf struck by a mysterious illness that takes away his ability to get stronger, yearns for a cure and a way to get stronger. Legend whispers of the World Tree, a mythical entity rumored to hold the key to ultimate power and unmatched healing. Reaching it promises not only a cure but also a chance to reclaim what was taken from him. Driven by ambition and a thirst for strength, Silax leaves home.

He spends years searching until one day his efforts bear fruit. What he finds is not the blessing he anticipated, but a curse. It requires a sacrifice, a darkness that must be embraced to wield its might. A power fueled by darkness and life force absorbed from others. This dark power grants him immense strength but test his morals.

Torn between ambition and morality, he must make a choice. Embrace his monstrous nature and achieve his goals at the cost of everything or give up on this power to protect the world from its danger.

This is a story of the corrupting nature of power, the sacrifice and the cost of achieving ones goals, and the blurred lines between ambition and self-preservation. It's a tale that explores the lengths one might go to in the face of mortality.

The Crimson Elf

Several hours later he saw Yvonne approaching him. He had been wondering where she was, because he hadn't seen her since they separated.

She grabbed him and led him up the stairs, then pulled him into a bathroom. Silax was about to ask what they were doing in a bathroom when Yvonne started undressing. He quickly turned around and faced the door of the bathroom.

"You should have told me before you started taking off your clothes."

"I don't mind. Also, I'm sure it's nothing you haven't seen before. You should put on your mask and cloak now."

After a few minutes, she told him he could turn around, but Silax ignored her, because he could still hear shuffling coming from behind him.

A couple of minutes went by, then he felt a tap on his shoulders, he was still unsure whether he should turn around. Yvonne stepped past him, taking the decision out of his hands.
