Issei's Pov

I furrowed my brow, a tinge of suspicion lingering in my mind.

Issei:King Galadon, Queen Thalia, is there more to the disturbances in the ley lines than what meets the eye? I sense there's something you haven't shared.

The monarchs exchanged a solemn glance, and King Galadon's expression grew somber.

King galadon: you are perceptive, Issei. The disturbances are not solely a result of natural imbalances. There's an underlying threat that we've been hesitant to disclose.

Queen Thalia continued, her gaze steady.

Queen Thalia:Within our own kind, there exists an extremist faction led by my brother, Thaloc. He believes in the dominance of elves and aims to establish a regime where elves reign supreme. It's a dangerous ideology, one that threatens the very fabric of elven unity.

My eyes widened at the revelation, a sense of foreboding settling within me.

Issei:An extremist group within the elven race? What are their motives, and how does it connect to the disturbances in the ley lines?

King Galadon sighed, the weight of the revelation evident in his words.

King galadon:Thaloc's faction believes that by tapping into the ley lines and harnessing their immense power, they can establish elven dominance not only within Eldorien but across all elven realms. It's a radical plan that could plunge our kind into a war with other species, reminiscent of the old Satan faction you mentioned.
