- <span class="mu-r">I flight North, direction the elfs went. Then, I saw their ships sailing. It was simple : I anticipated their docking, then morphed into an elven form.
I invented an improbable sob story those suckers bought and I got a direct ticket to their island town.</span>
- Carrre to elaborrrrate?
- <span class="mu-b">Yeah, details!</span>
- <span class="mu-r">I don't really remember. It involved long-lost parents, me being obviously superior as an elf integrated in other societies, jumping from allegiance to allegiance to retrieve my long-lost people.
I was almost immediately accepted. As an outsider. So, elves are pompous pricks. They hate and despise everything that is not white with a tendency to blond hair, unless this is a mythical creature that is able to hold a conversation and eat them whole.
Anyway, they have a whole social ladder with me as someone not knowing her lineage is bottom of the barrel. Thus, I had to gang up with similar defects of society. Introducing my boy, Edwyrd.</span>

The teacher was quite schemy about the origin of that powder. Turns out, it's some kind of silver tree's pollen.
These flowers are ripe with mana. And you know how elves are dwindling in numbers? Well, they need this pollen.</span>
- <span class="mu-b">To get in the mood? How peculiar...</span>
<span class="mu-r">Not quite, although the ones that experienced childbirth told me so... More like, it triggers their reproductive capabilities. Pregnancy is not impossible without it, but way more difficult and riskier.
This is, not surprisingly, the biggest secret of the whole species. And their declines comes from a diminution and loss of such trees.
We mounted an heist for this year's harvest. A successful one.</span>
Edwyrd slams a pouch on the table. Judging on the weight, you have easily fifty doses. With that and the fountain, you are set for a good time. Right now, what you're lacking is stuff to enchant...
You're a bit relieved about the elf. Looks like he's been a circumstantial, and mostly reliable, ally. Their gang was made of six persons. Four of them died, your sister had to to show her hand to save the last one and the loot.
"<span class="mu-r">And that's the story. Anyway, brought the guy back cause I thought about making him my guardian. What do you think?</span>"
The man is reliable and skilled. Still, you really don't like how he is literally drooling while leering at her the whole time.
