Tree of Life

In the heart of The Unknown, nestled amidst lush landscapes and ancient trees, lies the Elven Village of Eldrilora. The air is thick with the scent of blooming flowers and the sweet melodies of birds, creating an ethereal ambiance that captivates all who enter. The village is a testament to the love and care bestowed upon it by Druantia, Mother Nature herself, before her untimely demise.

The architecture of Eldrilora is a harmonious blend of nature and elven craftsmanship. Elaborate treehouses intertwine with the branches of towering ancient oaks, forming a city that seems to grow organically from the very forest it inhabits. Bridges crafted from vines and adorned with bioluminescent flowers connect the different levels of the village, creating a mesmerizing spectacle as they glow softly in the moonlit nights.

In the center of Eldrilora stands the majestic Eldertree, a colossal oak that serves as the heart of the elven community. Its bark is adorned with intricate carvings depicting the history of The Unknown, a testament to the longevity of the elves and their connection to the land. The Eldertree's leaves shimmer with a mystical glow, symbolizing the enduring spirit of Druantia that continues to watch over the village.

Eldrilora is a haven of diversity, as elves of various tribes and backgrounds coexist in harmony. The villagers engage in communal activities, from tending to the mystical flora that thrives in the village gardens to participating in spirited celebrations that honor the cycles of nature. Every elf, young and old, is bound by a deep reverence for the natural world and a shared commitment to preserving the legacy left by Druantia.

The village is not merely a residence; it is a living entity, attuned to the ebb and flow of the surrounding environment. The elves of Eldrilora possess a unique ability to communicate with the flora and fauna, fostering a symbiotic relationship that ensures the prosperity of both the village and the enchanted forest that cradles it.

Despite the idyllic setting, Eldrilora is not without its challenges. Dark forces, drawn by the mystical energies that emanate from The Unknown, often attempt to infiltrate the village. Yet, the elves, fueled by their unwavering connection to nature, stand vigilant in the face of adversity, defending their cherished home with a determination that mirrors the resilience of the ancient trees surrounding them.

As the sun sets over Eldrilora, casting a warm golden glow across the treetops, the villagers gather beneath the Eldertree. They share tales of the past, present, and dreams of the future, their voices blending with the rustling leaves and the soft hum of the forest. In the heart of The Unknown, the Elven Village stands as a living tribute to the memory of Druantia, a sanctuary where the essence of Mother Nature lives on, embodied in the spirit of its inhabitants.

These trees were taking cared off by the dryads. The caretakers of the forest. They imbued the trees with magic power so they could live longer. But instead, the trees started birthing elves. Yellow haired, green eyes, and pointy like ears race who have the ability to talk with forest animals.

Aside from this ability, they didn't inherit any magic power from their progenitor: Druantia, Mother Nature. But even so, little by little, they started building a tree village and schools. Elven knowledge was considered valuable for many reasons. One of them was their ability to share senses with animals which made hunting easier. The dryads remained looking after the forest. They had promised Druantia to look after her territory after she died. They had emerald-green hair, wore mint dresses, and had vines decorating her bodies. They were like the spirits of the forest. Primordial life spirits.

A few years passed and the elves became more and more greedy. They started having intercourse and giving birth to six children or more, and killing tones of animals, trees, and fruits to be able to feed their families.

The dryads realizing their mistake, decided to put greater amount of magic power on the elder ancient tree. the tree trunk opened up, revealing a beautiful seventeen-year-old girl with green hair, purple eyes, and green toned dress. She was no ordinary elf. She was a dark elf. A rare species of elf that have different hair and eye colors.

"Good morning, were you the ones who woke me up?"

"Yes, we apologize for waking you up from your slumber."

"it's alright, I slept for centuries so I'm actually looking forward to enjoy life."

"What's your name, my dear?"

"Ikius. What about you guys?"

"I'm Lilium, this is Aldoris, and that is Limnorelia."

"Nice to meet you."

They took Ikius to the school and introduce her to the headmistress as the new student. They said their goodbyes and left to continue their job.

Inside the classroom, they were learning how to talk with animals. But Ikius preferred to draw. So she took out a piece of paper and a pencil carved of wood by the dryads and drew beautiful and unique dressed.

Meanwhile, her classmates were trying to communicate with their animals. As the teacher passed by, he saw that Ikius wasn't paying attention and he called her attention in front of the whole class.

"Ikius, you know this is not the time for fashion, right?"

"I know."

"So why are you drawing?"

"'cuz I already know this?"

"You wouldn't mind going to the front of the class and demonstrating it then, would you?"

Ikius felt infuriated for the first time. But she calmly stood up and walked towards the front of the class where a bird, a venomous snake, a baby panda, and a baby wolf were. She started with the bird.

"He wasn't really nice to you."

"Yeah."

"What's your name?"

"I-ki-us, what's yours?"

"Baloo, nice to meet you miss."

"Nice to meet you too Baloo."

To her classmates it sounded like the bird was chirping and so was she. But they were talking, and she had already built a friendship with it.

Next, she went to the Baby panda:

"How are you?"

"I'm missing my mommy."

"Are you saying, you were brought here without her permission?"

"Yesh."

She gave gaze to the professor to see if he was looking and connected with the dryads via telepathy:

[Lilium, there's a baby panda here who was kidnapped from her mother for a school project.]

[Thank you, for letting me know Ikius, we will teleport it home right now.]

[Oh, by the way, can you send me some milk as well?]

The teacher asked her where the baby panda was, and she said she was back with her mother. She grabbed the baby wolf on her lap and gave him the milk, and he drank it.

The teacher told her to sit back down and leave the baby wolf there but she refused and took the baby wolf with her. Later he walked up to her with a cup with a black liquid in it.

"what is this?"

"coffee."

"Be careful. That's not coffee. That's my poison." Said the snake.

"Thanks, but I don't drink coffee, you may drink it though."

"I can't, I grabbed it for you, besides I can't drink coffee in class."

"Well, neither can I, and we can't waste food, can we?"

He forced her to drink snake poison. But nothing was happening with her. Instead, she was still alive. Her nails started getting a bit longer. Her hair gained purple meshes. Her eyes turned green, and she was using a purple toned short stylish short dress. The poison she drank started gathering on her lips transforming into a black lipstick.

She inhaled and said:

"I guess, I should thank you for awakening me. My name is Suiki." The abuse of the teacher awakened a dangerous being.

"As a reward for your help, I'll make your death quick." She touched his hand, injecting a deadly poison inside him through her touch. In a matter of seconds, his face turned blue with veins popping all over his body.

"My work here is done."

Her hair returned to its original green color, and so did the rest of her, although she had no memory of what happened.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!" She screamed her throat out, making even the dryads hear.

"What happened?" asked Lilium who rushed to the scene.

I don't know. I don't recall anything.

Strange. The dryads thought.

They summoned a spirit crystal ball that's able to measure someone's magic power, as well as show someone's attribute.

They told Ikius to place her hand in the crystal ball. So, she did. Soon after that, the ball turned green and shined so bright it made the ball break.

"What happened?"

"It seems you have the power of life and it's incredibly strong."

----------------------------------SUIKI------------------------------------

 I wonder what Ikius is doing right now. Thinking as she draws characters from dreams she had. Watching a movie, and drawing the characters, she began to discover new ability and giving Ikius more abilities.

 What triggered Suiki to come out was a dangerous situation, too much stress, or when Ikius has too much hatred accumulated.

 She was getting tired, so she went to bed.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Meanwhile, Ikius was learning about her lineage. The dryads told her about the elder ancient tree from which she had been asleep for millennia and said that the one who planted it was Druantia, who was known as Mother Nature, and one of the creatures of the universe. She poured some of her power into the tree so it would survive even the worst plagues. And that resulted in Ikius having triple her magic capacity due to how much the tree has endured.

 She was the True Descendent of Mother Nature.

 The dryads started testing her magical capacity to learn how best to train her how to control it.

 They put a dead plant in front of her and an egg.

 She started with the egg. She waved her hand and a baby bird hatched out of an empty egg. Next was the dead plant. She started hearing a whisper coming from the surrounding trees. So, she walked towards a tree, placed her hand on its trunk and felt its life force reaching towards her hand. She moved her hand as if it was sucking some of the tree's life force. Deciding to grab only fifty percent of its life force, she returned to the dead plant, and moved her hand as if she was releasing energy towards it. The plant started regaining color and shape. It was reborn again.

 She truly had the ability of life.

 Next up was the training.

 Lilium vs. Ikius

 A mock battle. Lilium conjured lower class spirits of fire, earth, and water. The Fire spirit started throwing fireballs at her. But it couldn't reach her due to its weak amount of magic power. It barely even made a scratch since she was automatically in ultra-speed regeneration mode.

 In one wave of hand, a branch of tree grew and struck all the lower spirits, sending them back to the spirit realm.

 Interesting, so not only Life but also, she can manipulate Nature too. Thought the Dryads.

 Suddenly, everything surrounding Ikius started to die, it was as if some sort of plague or poison quickly spread throughout the terrain.
