The residence of various species of plants, animals, and beasts alike and a home to humans, the 3rd largest planet of the 'Starlight Galaxy' and the birthplace of Kaze, 'Bellatrix'.
If one were to look at this masterpiece from Outerspace, it would seem as a much greener and bluer Earth but more than a 1000 times larger.
This planet was divided into 5 continents,
The Eastern Continent: Consisting of the great forest and Ambrosia, the kingdom of elves. (Not much is known about the habitat of the elves as no human had ever made it that far into the great forest and survived.)
The Northern Continent: Consisting of the great snowy plateaus and the kingdom of Winterfrost. (A neutral faction which does not tolerate outsiders hence not much is known)
The Central Continent: The largest continent (larger than the eastern, northern and western continents combined), and, home to the world's five major powers.
- The 'Cronvell' empire
- The Kingdom of 'Alynthia'
- The Fyn dynasty
- Khisfire, The Dwarven Realm
- The 'Church Of Light'
The Western Continent: Consisting of the great Volcanic lands and Ashburn, the kingdom of demons. (The church of light's sworn adversary)
The Southern Continent: Not yet explored due to its dangers (Also known as the 'Wilderness')

(Current Location -
Place: Ambrosia, Kingdom of the elves in the eastern continent
Time: 6 hours ago)
The Ambrosia Kingdom's throne room was enormous, practically the size of a complete building in one area. The entire space was constructed of rare, gleaming materials, and its polished sheen signaled its high-end status.
The king's beautiful throne, about 5 meters tall, was made of pure gold with numerous emeralds inlaid in it, and on either side of the throne were 7 seats, each for the 14 council elders of the Elven Kingdom, albeit not as majestic as the throne, they were constructed of the most pleasant materials...
Despite seeming to be middle-aged or in their late fifties, each of the elders were far more older. Almost everyone in the room, with the exception of Arnold, was over a century old, and the monarch had recently celebrated his 300th birthday, making him Ambrosia's second-oldest citizen.
It looked as if this entire chamber had been built for the sole goal of intimidating, with hundreds of royal guards in golden armors and many more discreetly protecting the Emperor and two personal guards for each council member.
The Kings most trusted people and prominent figureheads of the kingdom were on the front of the rightmost and leftmost rows. Egbert Sinford, the general in charge of internal affairs, and Beatrice Rene, the general in charge of exterior affairs.
Despite the fact that there was a prince who was close to inheriting the throne and had the approval of the council, the Elven Kingdom's tradition declared that one may only assume the throne after gaining the blessings of the world tree, Yggdrasill.
The world tree was the source of the elves' long life and enormous mana capacity, as well as the reason why, despite their small numbers, they could be a serious danger.
Even though they counted in the millions, they were but a drop in the ocean when compared to the population of the other continents, which numbered in the billions.
"Yes!, my King, I have confirmed evidence that she is on the Central Continent," Arnold, the kingdom's first heir and presumed next king, said.
Egbert, the internal affairs general, began the council meeting, which was to be held every three months, by declaring, "Yggdrasill, the World Tree, is dying. The elves have already been gravely weakened, and any further losses will put the entire race in jeopardy. Finding the priestess or her heir is the only way to solve the dilemma "..
Every hundred years, a priestess is chosen among the Elven maidens to serve as a messenger to communicate with the spirit of the world tree and the priestess itself is chosen by the world tree through the previous priestess.
If the kingdom were to be attacked, the priestess' safety would be more important than the king's, for without the pure mana of a priestess, the world tree would begin to wither, and if it died, the whole elven race would perish.
The external affairs general, Beatrice questioned, "What do you suggest we do?, We can't possibly search each and every corner of the central continent".
Although straightforward, Beatrice was a practical and coldly honest lady who seemed to be in her mid twenties but had actually just celebrated her 105th birthday last month. Although she was a 105 yrs old, she was the youngest council member. She had short chestnut hair that reached shoulder-length and a light green shade of eyes.
Since birth, every elf has had the color green, the hue of nature, instilled in them in some way. Despite the fact that it was a common eye color among even humans, it was nonetheless used to distinguish humans from elves.
If one were to look at her figure, she would appear to be a stunning beauty in her twenties, with great curves in all the right places and flawless symmetry.
She was one of the pure Elven maidens (v**gin, if u didn't get it), who adopted a neutral stance in most matters. She detested love and considered it to be a waste of time. It was her Kingdom that she cherished most in her 105 years on this world.
She always strived to do the best for her Kingdom and was the only woman in the council to achieve a position only next to the king.
The king spoke this time, "What do you think Arnold?, How should we proceed?"
Arnold was the first heir of the kingdom and one of the 5 commanders of the elven army. Currently, he was the focus of everyone's attention and would be tested on various occasions like this one.
"It's been over 13 years since the priestess was kidnapped, and the fact that the elves haven't received any extortion or that the world tree hasn't shed all of its leaves implies only one thing..." he said firmly.
Everyone was staring at Arnold with rapt attention since this was a major issue, and everyone wanted to know how the future king would handle it, whether he was capable or not. "It suggests the priestess is alive and the captor is unaware of her actual status as the priestess," Arnold said after a breather.
Arnold gazed once again towards the council members to see their opinions and they all seemed to agree with his judgement. He continued saying, "I assume that the priestess was most likely taken in as a slave and..."
He came to a halt without continuing his remark, and everyone in the room realised what he was expressing. They clenched their teeth in rage, since this was not a minor thing.
How inept were they if they couldn't even defend their priestess, who was known as the 'Mother of the Elves'?
Because of their light complexion and beauty, elves were frequently sold as slaves in the central continent, which was one of the reasons why they instinctively despised humans, who dared to compel their priestess, their mother.
Everyone in the council was seething with rage, and it was fairly obvious from their expressions, when suddenly a tranquil and serene voice rang across the chamber, like to soul repairing music, "Your majesty, I would like to share my viewpoint,"
Greenish-yellow eyes, long black hair, a slender waist, and a figure that had just recently begun to mature. She was perhaps 12 years old, yet she exuded confidence and authority, maybe as a result of her status as princess.
Her eyes shined with wisdom, and she appeared to be much older than her years. She was the second heir of the elven realm and the princess of the elves, as the elf monarch had only two children.
"Welcome princess, 'Aina Abbott Windsor,' please provide us your assistance," Egbert remarked while bowing.
Even though he was a highly dignified man and held the fourth highest position in the realm, behind only the king and the priestess.
He refused to bow even to Arnold, the crown prince, which made sense given that he was in a higher position, but Aina was not your typical rich royal pompous child.
If Arnold gave the impression of a tough looking righteous warrior, Aina was the definition of a clever and brilliant strategist.
With these two leading the kingdom in the future, the elves were sure to prosper and all the council members knew this fact and felt grateful for it.
Furthermore, even at such a young age, Aina had a stunning beauty, and this was before she had even formed her physique. She was a classic example of a flawless genius girl, with her naturally gorgeous looks, being an elf, having royal lineage, and her brilliance.
However, nothing is perfect, and she had one flaw in particular: she possessed a dual personality.
At some times, she would run around the palace, without a care in the world breaking even the most vital royal regulations in a breeze without any worries, pranking everyone, from the gate guards to even the king himself!!!, all in front of the whole council!!!!!.....
She had pranked each and every member currently present in the room and if there was someone this prideful elders of the elven kingdom feared, it was this little devil.
But this was not the reason why even Egbert bowed before her, it was because when she got serious, which was rare by the way, her demeanor would change completely and her personality would take a complete 180 degrees turn as she would become the most dignified and smartest person, more like a mature elder in a girls body".
Paradoxically she at the tender age of 12, could even overcome the greatest strategist of the elven empire, Beatrice when she would become serious and this was the reason why every council member revered and respected her.
The king was quite proud to have such capable children and as a matter of fact, he should be as not all kings would devote enough time for their children and on top of that he was an alone-father, his wife had died a few years back to an incurable disease but he managed both the kingdom and his family, to the best of his ability and these 2 children were the fruits of his efforts.
As soon as Aina began to speak, everyone fell silent to hear the unique and precious words from the one in a..., well, in the entire history of the elves' intellect, as she spoke, "...
