Chapter 31 - 30: Trouble
Facing a High Elf bent on death, David showed not the slightest mercy.
Just as vigilant with the Drow, he treated the High Elves with equal disdain.
If the Drow, who had inherited much of the dark aspects of the High Elves, were synonymous with conspiracy and betrayal, then the High Elves, in their complete form, were master manipulators akin to crafty lotus masters.
According to the Dragon legacy, in the years following their settlement on the prime material plane named Toriel, the elves had managed to displace the ruling dragons and achieve unification of the continent. Yet, due to their self-destructive tendencies, they nearly blasted through the earth’s crust. Subsequently, they plunged into a Crown War lasting three thousand years over the right to rule, from which they never recovered.
Some elves, no longer able to tolerate the status quo, made the same choice as their ancestors and opened Teleportation Gates to flee to distant lands.
However, while their ancestors had done so to avoid a cataclysmic end, these elves were trying to escape the endless wars.
Some of them settled in this material plane called Elariya and started anew.
But ironically, after many years of proliferation, they once again fell into the same patterns due to their nature. One-third of the High Elves, under the leadership of one named Anastasia Sameriel, reconnected with the dark faith of the Spider Mother, Rose. This reignited an ongoing struggle over the throne with the High Elves once more.
Faced with such forgetful creatures, prone to gamble their destiny and continuously court disaster, David felt no remorse at their death. Even if many perished before him, he would only clap his claws in enjoyment and then say,
"Good riddance!
Please continue your performance."
