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

Naelo stared at Ail'wi for a couple of seconds before finally shaking his head.

Naelo's attitude made Ail'wi unsure of herself. She was even beginning to doubt he had heard her question clearly. Maybe that's why he had taken time before responding to her.

"Why did you make it sound like you were about to ask about some forbidden secret?"

"Because it is. Or it's supposed to be, I think. Very little is known about Sirens. Everything about them is surrounded by a cloak of mystery."

Naelo had turned his attention back to the grilled fish in front of him. He didn't treat the matter with the same amount of importance Ail'wi gave it.

"That's because you've never been to the east. It's true that they are a mysterious group, but it's not to the extent of being a taboo to talk about."
