They are… high elves?

Side seems surprised at this little camp out, To be honest, I'm quite amazed as well, The whole ‘camp’ is amazingly well crafted, With tree palaces so intricately designed that each that every single crack in the bark is actually a carving or picture that connects with the rest of the tree house, The drawings however vary greatly: From giant flying monsters made of spaghetti, Frogs on unicycles, Cute dogs, Cute cats to vast complex arrays signifying how great the universe is, The whole history of the world, Ancient battles with heros and demons and how nature is one with everything,

Just looking at a tree makes my brain hurt not to mention the house, The house is a what you would call a mansion but constructed with trees and combines every single culture you can think of while somehow still melding together perfectly, Its an architectural wonder on how so many different ideas somehow blend together seamlessly into such a grand building.

Wisdom up

The high elves are all wearing tattered clothes, With bloodshot eyes and dishevelled hair some are smoking multiple leaves at once. We walk to the hobo high elves and ask some questions, ‘’Yo, So what are you doing here?’’ I wonder what high elves do in this world, Other than being high all the time ‘’whaaaat. are you talkin aboot. man dude? We juuss. chillin here. havin a smoke. wanna tri eet?’’ The high elf raises a hand and offers me a rolled up leaf with some sort of other dried up leaf inside ‘’n-no thanks, I'm good’’ the high elf shrugs his shoulders and takes another puff from his leaf ‘’skewl. dude. help yerself if. ya want any’’

The elf lies down, He was lying down the whole time though only turning slightly to offer a smoke before going back to his intense chilling session, I walk to another elf ‘’so what are you doing here?’’ the elf takes in another puff of his leaf ‘’heheheehe w-w-waat are yoou doing? Hehehaaah! Lookit yer faaccee! Hhaaahaa!’’ The elf continues to laugh like a madman, Pointing at random things and laughing even harder, This conversation will go nowhere so I walk to one of the more reasonable high elves

‘’So what are you doing here?’’ the elf is sitting on a finely crafted wood chair, One leg crossed over the other with a hand on his chin, The thinker position, ‘’What are we doing here? What are any of us doing here? Are we all fictional characters made to play the tune of higher beings? Do any of us have an actual free will? What is the purpose of my existence? Am I just some fodder character no one will remember in a few chapters?’’

I slowly back away from the elf, That was going into some deep ship and I don’t feel like questioning my life right now, Side was marvelling at their weed-growing factory off to the side ‘’Su! It's amazing how they managed to automate the creation of products through the use of plants! I didn’t even know you can engrave commands into It's very fibre to make them repeat a motion endlessly without the use of supplying magic!’’ It looks like the high elves aren’t as simple as they seem, but who owns that mansion? It's certainly not those high elves since they have the hobo class.

I notice a path on the ground that seems seldom used but a darker shade of ground along with the plants nearby being just as dark, I wave at side and point to her the path ‘’ooh! That must be where the dark elves are! I read that their paths are always connected to another elf path but the shade is slightly darker’’ dark elves? If they are anything like high elves I worry about the future of this species.

We follow the darkened path before reaching a similar clearing but it’s like someone turned off all the lights, It didn’t bother us since we can both see in the dark but it would be highly inconvenient for a normal person to stumble here, In the clearing all the plant life is colored black, There is a large gothic themed house at the end but a place adjacent to it is a small gathering of elves all wearing hoodies,

I walk closer and see them in more detail, The elves have straightened black hair covering one eye with a splash of colour here and there, Black eye-shadow and piercings on the nose, Lip and ear, Some with heavy makeup all over the body, Their clothes are black and all have some kind of elven band names I think? The band names range from ‘Panic! At the treetop’ to ‘My natural romance’

‘’Hey identify, Do me a solid and just tell me what kind of elf is what when I meet them, this is ridiculous’’

The elf subspecies should all be self-explanatory just when you see them, I think you might need some glasses if you need my help identifying what is what but nonetheless, I will now identify the first elf subtype you meet

Thank god the system actually agreed, It could do without that snarky comment though but we can just ignore that

Dark elves, level 19 emo threat 8%, an elf that has embraced the darkness, They specialize in dark plant magic and making everyone around them depressed, one of the more antisocial bunch on the elf species

That doesn’t sound very nice, I walk up to a dark elf that was cutting its wrist and strike a conversation ‘’So… What ya doing there?’’ the elf looks up with tears in his eyes, mascara running down his face ‘’*sniff* the world is a cruel place, Everyone will die one day, Forests are getting logged, habitats ruined, animals extinct, everyone you meet will leave you, reality is all a lie, the world is empty, the auth-‘’ I run away from the elf, The system was right in that they make anyone around them depressed, I dont feel like talking to the other dark elves after that.

We leave the dark elf group and join up with the main road
