A wondrous planet of untold beauty and mystery exists in the vast expanse of the cosmos, nestled amidst the tapestry of stars. Upon this celestial orb, two sprawling continents, each adorned with diverse landscapes and teeming with life, dominate the shimmering seas that separate them. Several small islands are scattered across the boundless ocean.
Here, beneath the celestial canopy, a realm of ancient wonder and ethereal grace unfolds. The planet's name is Elpons, for this is ruled not by mortal hands but by the timeless and enigmatic elves, custodians of an ageless legacy and stewards of a realm unlike any other.
There are six significant countries in this world: Hibernia, Vernalia, Aestivia, and Autumnusia. These four countries only experience one season in their lands: winter, spring, summer, and fall. The last two counties' names are Lumina Isle and Umbra Isle. They are both in the center of the two countries, with a reasonable distance between them—the two experience the four seasons, making them seem odd to the other countries.
In the enchanting realm of Autumnusia, a land perpetually cloaked in the vibrant hues of autumn, the air is filled with the sweet scent of fallen leaves and the gentle rustle of golden foliage. A benevolent monarchy, the House of Amberleaf, rules this magical country known for its deep connection to nature and wisdom. King Thalion and Queen Elowen, both elves of remarkable grace, govern with a gentle hand, ensuring harmony between their people and the lush landscapes that surround them.
The capital, Maplehaven, is a picturesque city adorned with winding cobblestone streets and towering trees that glow with fiery oranges and reds. Elven artisans craft exquisite goods from the abundant resources of their land, from intricate leaf-patterned textiles to enchanting potions brewed from the essence of autumnal herbs.
Every year, the Festival of Falling Leaves celebrates the beauty of their eternal season, where music and laughter fill the air, and the skies are illuminated with vibrant lanterns. In Autumnusia, time flows differently, and the spirit of autumn whispers through every corner, fostering a sense of peace and unity among its inhabitants. Here, elves live in harmony with nature, cherishing the beauty of their everlasting autumn and the bonds that tie them to their beloved land.
Once a shimmering jewel of Autumnusia, the capital city of Maplehaven now lies in ruins, its vibrant streets echoing with silence and despair. The golden leaves that once danced in the gentle breeze now lay trampled underfoot, a stark reminder of the devastation wrought by an unforeseen invasion. The elves, who had never encountered humans before, found themselves unprepared for the brutality of war, having lived in peace for generations.
In a swift and merciless onslaught, the human invaders stormed the city, executing many of the royal family, including the beloved King Thalion and Queen Elowen. Their absence left a void that deepened the sorrow of the elven people, who now wandered the remnants of their once-thriving home, clutching at memories of laughter and celebration.
The remaining citizens were captured and enslaved, their spirits crushed beneath the weight of their captors' tyranny. The vibrant festivals that once filled the air with joy were replaced by a haunting silence, broken only by the cries of the oppressed. Maplehaven, once a symbol of beauty and unity, now stands as a testament to loss and sorrow, its autumnal splendor overshadowed by the scars of war. The resilient yet heartbroken elves cling to hope, yearning for their land to be accessible again.
Several human soldiers were in the castle, looting the place and creating a mess in this nation's most important place.
In the chamber where the Autumnusia held their meetings, military officers from the human army celebrated their fantastic achievement of conquering Autumnusia.
"This war was straightforward."
"You're telling me. These elves don't seem to know anything about war and offense."
"Their brains must be defective. That must be the reason it was easy to take their land."
The military officers were all having a meal, describing their victory and rewards.
Like Christopher Columbus and the Americans, humans recently discovered this plot of land. However, instead of finding endangered humans, they encountered people with long ears: elves. Just as the Spanish learned about the new world, they sent ships to conquer the land. Now, humans are doing the same thing to the elves.
"Hay, have you guys tried out their women yet? Their lowest part is so tight like they want you to stay inside them."
"We sure have. We all have a few elves to satisfy our needs."
"Oy, you guys need to try out their children. As they say, they taste better when they are still pure. Before coming here, I had time to take a little girl's virtue. She was weeping with joy as she called me master."
"Ooo. That sounds nice. I have two slaves who have their children. They will happily let me have their child for a night."
"Careful friend. One of my subnets wanted to lay his hand on an elve girl we captured with some other. However, one of the meals broke his nose."
"I see. To be safe, I'll put the parents in cages so they won't do anything to me as I plow their daughter in front of them."
"Ha Ha Ha. That's a good idea, buddy."
"Ha Ha Ha. Hey, what happened to those elves who broke your subaortic noise."
"Well, we touched him before the other elves he was with. Before he died, my subordinate, who the elve insulted, raped the child in front of the elve before killing him."
"Ha Ha. Service that elves right. How dare he try to define their masters."
Their conversation comes from the disgusting human things they do to the elves. From their expression and town, the humans do not see the elves as living beings.
********
In the capital's tallest tower, several dark figures are looking over Maplehaven as they are having a meeting. The dark figures do not appear to be humans or elves but are grotesque.
"Our pawns have finally conquered all of Autumnusia." The voices of the dark figures sounded like nails on a chalkboard.
"It's about time. I thought that short-lived creatures would increase their number like roaches."
"Humans are indeed short-lived species. However, they still take some time to reproduce and years to become useful soldiers."
The number of human soldiers was around 30 battalions, equal to 30,000 knights. Usually, taking a country with that many soldiers would be impossible. However, the humans had something that helped them wipe out a large number of Autumnusia's population: germs, viruses, and disease.
Most of the Elves died of sickness from the disease the humans brought from their homeland. The humans used a biological weapon to conquer Autumnusia. Humans dealt with the rest of the elves, who were immune to those diseases.
"If it weren't for the fact that we made sure humans convey all sorts of diseases, germs, and viruses, it would have taken much longer to concord Autumnusia as quickly as we did."
"Indeed, tell me. How is the progress of executing the high elves of Autumnusia?"
"It's going smoothly. We have already killed most of the royal family while |∆¢√| is pursuing the remaining high elves."
"Excellent. Make sure you get any information they know about the song of peace." One figure bowed his head before he vanished from his spot to deliver the leader's message.
Another dark figure spoke up. "My lord, we have received reports that the Altom elves are escaping to Hibernia. Should we send the humans to the next country?"
"That would be unwise; this is a massive planetary-wide conquest if we send the humans to Hibernia before establishing a permanent base here. It will mean sacrificing the campaign. We have to focus on finding clues to the song of peace. The high elves are our only clue on finding it. We will stay here until we finish searching for Atumnusia for some time." The other figures nodded their heads in understanding.
"I also have a report, sir." The leader turned his head to face the one who called out."I have noticed that some human motivation is beginning to drop. If this continues, they will question their motive for coming here. What should we do to keep them from having second thoughts about conquesting the elves?'
"I have also seen some of the humans I'm in charge of hesitating on attacking the elves."
They realize the problem they would face if their pawns didn't want to eradicate the elves. The leader devised the idea to ensure the humans would continue to follow orders.
"If the human's motivation is dwindling, then we must exploit their emotion of contempt of revenge and deviation from their faith." The plan involves targeting humans harboring doubts in their hearts, eliminating them, and instilling rage in the survivors so that they would avenge their deceased comrades. To prevent their minds and hearts from shattering, the group will bring some people from their religion, providing solace for their souls. Simultaneously, they will be motivated to eradicate the elves.
"Get everything ready as soon as possible. Also, get me in contact with our kin on the second continent. They should be starting their war with Vernalia. I'll at least want to discuss our progress with them."
"As you command, lord @+ß#π." With his last command, the others bow their heads to their leader before vanishing into the air.
