The Great Tree

In the middle of dry season

Elia was standing beneath a giant tree, on a branch sat an old elf that was pondering her statement.

(Elder)"You believe all humans can truly believe in nature, and protect it over anything?"

(Elia)"I do great elder, in my native land there were many that even faught for nature."

After living here for so long she devoted herself to nature like the elf's, she began to feel more alive then ever. She found her purpose in life after wandering in it so long, nothing could compare to it.

(Elia)"People will realize nature is the light, the guiding power forcing us all to greatness."

When she recalled how her cousin who went to college became vegan and protested meat processing plants, she felt respect deeply. She already turned vegan living with the elf's, and felt proud of it.

(Elder)"Very well, but you alone will fight this war. I can't in my heart send such a good child to die though, so you will be accompanied by a team."

The great elder knew the perils of war, holding your best friend in your hands as he bleeds to death. Or the news that a friend died and you weren't there to save them.

(Elia)"Thank you great elder, I will leave tomorrow to the closest town and liberate them!"

(Elder)"May the spirits be with you child, for you embarked on a long arduous journey."

She left with determined eyes, it felt like life had meaning finally and the whole world needed to know it. She went back to house she lived in for last few months, she worked up her courage and went to his room.

He was her best friend, and the only person she could trust in her new journey. He was the elder sibling to the chills she saved, he taught her magic and her new love of nature. The two always were together inseparable, he was her rock in this world

(Sion)"Come in, I know your there Elia."

She came in shocked he was ready to go, his bags were packed and he was full outfitted to go.

(Sion)"What, not taking me with on your great adventure?"

(Elia)"Of course I am Sion!"

She was relieved afterwards they met with the dozen security guards they all wore the best armour that fully covered them. They were chipper in mood but their gear looked like it came from some medieval war zone to her.

(Exor)"You must be Elia,the name is Exor. Well, let's set off now. The daylight should be enough to reach the nearby town, they won't bother us much either."

After shaking hands they walked out in full gear, she was carrying bags and food with no weapon. She trusted in her magic and believed it wasn't really needed, she felt extra safe with the guards too. Sion wasn't wearing some high end armor but soft leather stuff he bought from a town with a sword and bow it was mainly handydown stuff.
