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

"Yes, the Startooth Mountains are rich in deposits of precious gems and minerals, but that's not my primary interest. This, right here, is." Florin declared, picking up the jewel and turning it over in his hand.

"This jewel possesses all the qualities of an azuri, but with a capacity to store energy that's seven times greater. It even seems to have a mind of its own."

"How did you discover this? How could a human find such a thing when the dark-elves, the owners of that land, haven't?"

"Who says that they haven't?" Florin countered.

Silax's eyebrow arched. He knew it was impossible for Florin to have stumbled upon the jewel without the dark-elves being aware. The real question was why the larger elven society was oblivious to the existence of such gems.

"First, you should know that I'm not the only human aware of these jewels. Many others are racing to secure mining licenses in the Startooth Mountains." Florin explained.
