Chapter 1484 1484. Hidden City
The stone walls were reinforced with many runes and different building techniques that utilized plants. The plants that Alma could see were very different from those she had seen anywhere else. They had pale leaves and didn't seem to require any light at all to grow. Some were even attracting the shadows slightly meaning that they were feeding off of the darkness elemental mana.
"This is the joint city of the stone and dark elves. Welcome, as long as you are a guest here we ask only one thing. You do not disrespect the lives we have chosen." The dark elf seemed to have much more stake in this. However, Alma had more questions than could be answered even if she responded.
"Just as in Genesis, I will act accordingly. Every race is seen as equal. We even have dragons that roam the streets." Alma knew that she had to ensure that her words were made common knowledge. Since she wanted the dark and the stone elves by her side, she would be more open and slightly bragging of Genesis.
"Fairy Tales will get you nowhere. We do remember the outside world before our chosen isolation from foolish ideals." The stone elf did not believe Alma at all.
"You already see that I come with elves that were long separated from the forest. I also know that no matter where you are you have learned that the goblins and grey haired spiders became sentient races as recognized by the world. Do you think that happened out of nowhere? Or do you think that it may have been in the city I have spoken of; Genesis." Alma held firm and continued to follow out of the tunnel.
The sight below was very different from the dwarven city. Alma had imagined that she would see something that Gil had described to her. However, she saw a very different world.
Vibrant purple and green glowing plants were shaped to create an underground city. One that had a variety of elves moving through it. Not every single one was covered in tune tattoos but they were dark and stone elves.
Some appeared to be working to create items, while others were harvesting strange glowing mushrooms. Thi city was both home and farm for the elves here. It also spanned in to many more tunnels that held secrets Alma could only guess about.
"There will be a single meeting with our king and queen. You will appeal to them and they will choose what to do from there." the dark elf seemed to soften slightly. Alma had a feeling that she was closer to the king and queen than she had been told.
The streets were quickly full of curious faces. They watched the elven mages, enforcers, and most of al Alma. their curiosity bloomed as more gathered and started to talk. They had not allowed another being within their city in many years since they sealed their home away from the world. Away from the dangerous values that could cause strife.
A building made up of shaped stone and strange dark vines was in the center of the hidden city. There were plenty of guards around but none of them seemed to make a move. Upon closer inspection, Alma realized they were stone golems with darkness runes carved on them. A fusion of magics to make a new form of guard. It was amazing, to say the least since Alma was in no way privy to how it was made.
"The great stone king and the great dark queen welcome the travelers to their main hall." A single elf announced the queen and king. The tall man that stood was not at all what someone would imagine an elf to be. Muscular and strong looking elves were a rarity. However, the king had such muscles and was standing a whole head taller than any elf in the room.
The queen that was named the dark queen was shorter but had shadows dancing around her. The darker skin and pale hair was a drastic opposition to what the light elves were known to look like. But that was if the light elves would ever be in the same place.
"You have come to our city even though we have sealed it off from the world. Name your reason or be tried by my court!" The stone king was firm but not demanding. He wanted answers to protect his people from anything that could harm them.
"I am Alma. future forest elf queen. Representative of all elves within Genesis. I have come to invite more elves to come together within Genesis. We will bring back the high elf race. No longer will the elves be divided by elemental affinity. Currently, Genesis seeks to free the demons from their oppression by a demon lord and cruel sin demon title holders." Alma stood tall and looked at the pair of rules in their eyes. She did not want to foolishly look away as if she was weak.
"you come to bring the elves together? Why? Why must that happen? My people are safe here. They do not need anything from the outside world. We live in peace and prosperity." The dark queen spoke as if she were whispering. But her words also echoed through the room.
"You don't have to come. It's your choice, but the world is changing. You are already behind. There are oppressive forces rising, problems from across the oceans arriving here on our lands, and races coming together. That doesn't include the monster races gaining their representation as sentient races. Times have already changed. If you remain here you will find yourself lost before long." Alma didn't hold back. She wanted every single point to be clear. She wanted the dark and stone elves to know just where the world might be heading.
"I can promise you one thing, you will be welcomed at any time even if you say no today."
