Elves in general
Narrated by Garden
Every being plant related is an elf or elf like. Dozens of variations exist fairies, ents, dryads I could go on for hours. My point is simple elves and plants are one. My subordinates tell me that I am no exception. Being able to grow and manipulate any plant, a power unheard of. They are convinced even though I'm from another realm, that I have elf blood.
Some say plant beings are majestic, wiser and more fare than others so why wouldn't they be elves by definition.
Not all of them are good, there are elf gods and devil's and those who serve. Something that can be said is that Eternity and Infinity elves work more well together. Than any other race of beings.
Dryads
Narrated by Garden
This race is rather terrifying and aggravating. They are one of the highest ranked races of plants. They are lethal in battle and much more arrogant than any race I know. To compare their status, they are like the brother to the king without heirs.
Their one weakness is if you kill their tree they will die. Which is why when they are born from the trunk of the oak tree. The baby is taken across a galaxy and it's location is never spoken of. The method of the tree giving birth, is a Dryad will place a special seed inside. 5 Earth months later Dryads gather to welcome the new baby. I have witnessed this ritual, I know of no ceremony more spectacular. To honor a child coming into the world. The tree is given immortality of age to one day being bigger than a red wood. The only way to kill it is to chop it down.
Now back to the arrogance thing. Since they are unkillable and vastly powerful. One of them might walk up to a king and knee him in the gut. At the end of the day they could be thinking, what other king could I assault for something to do.
Their powers are vast in possibilities but have 2 deliveries. Their breath or off a piece of oak touching their body.
As for ways to slow them down one might think fire. But depending on fire to be your ace in the hole. It is like shooting a bebe gun at a giant oak tree. Darkness is the one thing you can do to slow them down. But they still can't be killed unless their tree dies.
Now they keep to themselves though. Finding a oak tree here and there. There was one poor guy who picked a fight with a princess. I saw his death and it was horrific. She blew her breath on him and in moments a tree grew from inside his body. Ripping flesh and bone apart as it grew. They told me his soul was in the tree. Which was like forever being nailed to the same wall.
