Night.  High in the trees is a wood home, the floor walls and windows look all to have grown naturally out of the trees branches.  Inside an Elvish woman, mother, and wife finishes preparing dinner.  Her birth name Elo.  Her hair silver and long, with the ends of her sharp leaf shaped ears pointing through.  Beside her a child is sound asleep in a large nut shell crib.  She touches the child's face and her face glowing with happiness.

“Your daddy will be ...” 

Just then her husband, her Lali, walks in, Dylamisa, fourth oak of the Thanatos guard.  Tall and handsome, with dark hair and emerald eyes.  She feels her heart skip.  He is in uniform.

“My Lali, what is happening?  You served your time, the wood has thanked you for your service, why are you dressed ...”

Her husband closes his eyes, lowers his head, and sighs.  This gesture is all she needed to understand. 

“My wife, the Orcs are growing in number.  Something has changed in the Myrallia Pits.  Scouts say they no longer fight amongst themselves.  The council has asked ...”

“But you have served!  Surely they can get another.”  Elo chokes back tears with her last few words.

“None with my experience.  The wood needs me now more than ever.  I’m sorry ... but I leave tonight.  I married a strong woman, and I need that woman now.  For our child and for my spirit.  Your courage will give me courage.”

Elo breathes deep and nods, then coughs to clear her throat.

“Please return to us soon.”  She says plainly, hiding her fear.

“I promise,” he answers, leaving into the night.
