After a long while, when the sun sets and all things return to the embrace of night, the lives upon the earth sink one by one into slumber.

"How is it? You've seen for yourself. They should meet your requirements."

"Indeed, not bad. Their prowess has even surpassed over ninety-nine percent of humans."
"Their strength may not be formidable, but that is due to the lack of divine blood running through them... However, sometimes this very weakness is precisely what I need."
"I had no idea you also had such accomplishments in the realm of creation."
Elves, or more specifically, 'Dark Elves'.
