Elf's queen pov...
As I look at Lucius, the only survivor out of all the people summoned, I feel proud. Even the stoic Word tree is happy.
I know he was trying to make me lose face in front of all the Elves as revenge but as I am here we both came to a tacit understanding. Licius must have figured out it was the Elves that was the reason he was in this world after death.
I'm sitting in front of Lucius now and I have to admit that he's really handsome. My 2000 year old maiden heart is beating fast.
"You know the reason why I'm here? I want answers", He said.
I began to get scared. He might get angry and go on a rampage. But he deserves the truth. So I began to tell him.
"The world tree saw the future. In the future Demons ruled the world. Males of all species were slaves while females were used for reproduction. Of course the most important thing to the world tree were we Elves.
We began searching for a solution to the problem. The only way left was to summon people with powerful souls who would easily become geniuses and make them kill the demon king. We didn't wanna take any chances so we summoned people from all races. But that used up a lot of energy from the world tree which reduced the power of spirits and Elves. This was why the world tree killed anyone who wasn't useful. So the world trees gave them each a part of its soul. It allowed us to see the progress of each of the summoned people and to punish them when necessary.
Most of them were talented and this led to many forgetting their original purpose the result was death as the world tree's soul detonated wiping out their soul. Some were genius who trained their soul and manage to escape but we track them and kill them. Geniuses who aren't disciplined will only lead to disaster. Out of everyone, I loved you the most. You were always complaining but you never gave up. I was your partner for 5 years before I pretended to died. You were 63 at that time. I was not too important and acted like fox demon. I only observerd. I fell in love with you but you were too weak so I had to stop myself. Some summoned people are still alive though. Like the Goblin king who brought all the goblins under his wing. He wasn't too ambitious but he wasn't too talented so we just left him. We prepared external and internal threats for the Demon king. When you were 700 we noticed the Demons making some moves. That was when we understood that the Demons were looking for treasures to make the demon king level 900. That was why we bet the fate of the world on you. We gave you the whole of the spring of life. We refined it and made it more concentrated. That was your reward after creating a special art for your race. Till now the world tree hasn't recovered and our spring is dry. But all this is for the greater good"
After my explanation I began to look at Lucius face to see if he was angry. He didn't look angry and that made me relieved. The World tree couldn't keep check on him again since he had gotten stronger so we don't know how strong he is. If not that I believe him, the high council woukd have started trying to eliminate him.
