The elves were undoubtedly the kindest kingdom of this world. They shared with one another, tended to refugees from any other kingdom as if they were their own, and had a strict belief in pacifism, having no military or police force to speak of.

She was strikingly beautiful, and wore her elvishness with pride, always having some sort of traditional elven hairdo, and showing off her ears. They were in the process of hanging her mother and father before her eyes as they dragged her away. They simply wanted to show her just how evil humans can be, as of this war hadn't already...
