After the God of Light destroyed the enchantment that the Goddess of Life left on the Main Plane with one strike of his palm, he did not stop there. That palm shrank slightly and still continued to head towards the ground.
It was pointing in the direction of the Ancient Forest.
Obviously, the God of Light was not planning to destroy the great enchantment on the Main Plane. He wanted to take the chance of being able to go with the flow and destroy the Ancient Forest. This would utterly shatter all the hopes the Elven Race had of showing their power and ruthlessness to the world.
