386 Elf: Prince Aesril, II

Lifeforce connects all. Only with lifeforce magic was possible. The stronger one's lifeforce, the stronger one can manipulate the realities around them. A lifeforce favored by the air causes them to create wind as sharp as blade; water to create storms no ship can endure; ground to command; fire to scorch the rigid sins. 

LIfeforce can be controlled, but it also wants to be free.

But sometimes, just sometimes, there were individuals with complete control over their lifeforce. Adding lifeforce to their mana, they can increase their magical proficiency. They may be able to extend their life, gaining life no mortal individual could achieve; or corrupt them, turning a life of good deeds into that of eternal punishment. 

Prince Aesril, Gelethorn, and the human captives stood in a place that could hardly be called a town anymore.
