Chapter 3: Journey with embracing Bijou
"My wise and preserving elves! Remember our sadness this day! We must leave our home we thought would last forever and find a new place. Don't forget the spirit of our poor comrades! Remember their noble sacrifice! And for those who have betrayed us will realize. They will suffer more than we did. They will be painful ten, hundred times more than we are!"
Elderine's journey seemed endless. The continent was devastated much more than she thought.
"Oh my god, the continent used to be full of leafy trees but now….."
"Great Elderine, do not blame yourself. Your sorrow is our sorrow."
"My grieving is beyond the telling of it. Why are the gods repeating foolish acts?"
"They too are merely weaklings imprisoned by their own greed. Please fade away your sadness and give hope to yourself and your followers."
"You're right. I could never take away their hope."
Elderine's followers, the chiefs and elves, never lost hope. And finally they reached the deep south, the far end of the continent where they were safe from the hands of the monsters.
There they encountered a new species they have never seen before. They were called "humans", they also came from far away in the continent, with good and innocent spirit.
They were particularly different than expected. They ate 'meat' which elves do not,
They also 'cooked', cut down trees and built houses. They lived a life difficult to understand for the elves since elves controlled both 'destruction' and 'harmony'.
"Why do you kill the living and ingest its nutrient? You can still live without eating meat."
Wise Elderine advised them. The most elder among the humans came out and answered.
"We humans are not as strong as you elves, nor can we live as long as you do. We cannot continue living with small amount of fruit and water. We are much weaker and humble compared to your kind but we are living by staying together as one. We alternate meat with insufficient food, condole over them. It is not enough with the food we harvest from nature, so we grow seeds to benefit from nature. We need a lot of energy and live the bless called life for a short lifetime. We may be weak as one, but with unflinching team spirit we can be strong."
Although humans live a short life compared to elves, Elderine could not help admiring them. She thought that elves too will have no choice but to live as the humans if they are given a short lifetime.
They were not arrogant or vicious, living a happy peaceful life only for themselves in harmony with nature.
"We thought only our lives were the true way to live all this time. But your lives are true and righteous. I, Elderine, the mother of all elves wish to live with humans in peace and harmony. In the land full of bless given by Legel".
