Gladioli Wood

Just a heads up, this book, perhaps not this chapter, may contain trigger warnings. In this fantasy world, my characters walk through women oppression that many of us don't realize most of the world's women still suffer from. If you decide to move on with this read, thank you for your time, and I look forward to your feedback.Gl

Gladioli Wood is a young, female elf living in the Elis Valley. She lives next to the mountains and spends her days often tending to her farm. She grows vegetables and fruits while her father bakes and cooks. She doesn't come from a very wealthy family, but the two of them get by since her mother's passing.
Gladioli's best friend, Ariel, is a solider in midst of war. Though she is safe in her borough, the rest of Matrisolum is crumbling around her. She worries for Ariel, but he is always trying to get her to join. To fight. What she doesn't realize is that she is a much greater asset to the fight for the prosperity of free females and the poor and the lesser elves than she thinks she is.
