That elf was a genius.
That was the only word that can describe him. From the moment he was born, he was aware.
He was aware of himself, he was aware of the world around him. He was aware that life is good.
----------------------------------------
The genius lives an idle life, aware of all things and all elves surrounding him. Life was good and so there was nothing for him to do, to put his mind to the job.
When he is thirsty, he drinks, when he is hungry, he gathers the fruits, when he wants conversation, there are elves surrounding him to talk to.
However, he soon grew bored of conversation. The moment the other party opens their mouth, he already knows what they will be speaking of.
Instead the man improves his spirituality and heads toward nature.
He is a wood elves, it is natural for him. Surrounding him is the forest, his home, Elves Wood.
In the Elves Wood, there grew a special tree, the Spiritual Tree, the human call them the Magic Tree, plebians they are.
A single Spiritual tree takes 300 years to grow from a seedling to a fullgrown tree. And then it will last for thousand of years, just like the lifespan of an elf.
The Spiritual Tree is a wood elf's best friend, living as long as they are, providing life with sublime's beauty.
However, one day, disaster struck.
The genius went and found that the tree that he has known ever since that he could walk was cut down.
It was not an elf that cut it down, no instead, it was a human-dwarves joined operation, illegally cutting down the forest in his neck of the wood.
A Spiritual tree takes 300 years to grow to adulthood, however, the greedy human and dwarves alliance didn't care. A single magic wood is worth ten times its weight in gold. What drive them? A need for expansion and greed. Worthless, worthless greed. Are they drawn to gold because of simple greed? Through their spirit of entrepreneur, their human-ism, their gold sickness, they would sell their mother, their father, their children, their daughter and their son just for greed.

Greed is their god, their ruler, their master, their lord and their torturer. A human can't live without greed. A dwarf was born greedy.
Greed is the driving force, the fuel for their act, the drug to their mass.
Greed fulfills their spiritual needs, their intimacy need, their worthless self-worth.
IT can be said that money is their mother, their father instead of their physical mother and father. Greed is the only thing that they care about.
The elf silently observes the proceeding. After the human and dwarves have cut down his favorite tree for a lifetime worth of riches, what are their rewards? And what are their punishment?
However, they were allowed to walk free. Free after cutting down his favorite tree.
One of the illegal lumberer was a prince of the human, on an adventure with his trusty dwarven friends.
Entire swathe of the forest was cut down and this is their response.
"Why are you so serious? It is just a tree."
The wood elf disappears entirely from Elves Wood after that day, bringing with him the remains of his favorite tree, taken from a human lumberer cold dead hand.
He was just an angry young elf, angry about human and dwarves.
They will all pay, the price for cutting down his favorite tree is their life.
The wood elf disappears with hatred in his heart, marking all the human and dwarves involved in the operation.
He knows he can't bring down all of them, especially the prince.
Not as a lone elf.
Who is better to bring down humanity itself than someone who has an intimate knowledge of humanity?
The elf disappears from his village, never to return.
