Inktober 2019 Day 8: Frail

Today's Prompt:

Some condition plagues the body, sapping its resistance.
It's a dark omen manifesting as sallow skin, splintering bone, and frail build.
It might be the cause of natural law or the result of a dark ritual.
What condition can sap the strength from even the strongest warrior?

Elven size

When most humans began to regroup and rebuild after the Calamity, a few of them preferred to follow their new beliefs to the letter and stay in smaller groups, living a life closer to nature. They found that Wind magic was very useful for their lifestyle, and through the generations, this type of magic transformed these groups into true predators, the Elves, as is the Wind element's characteristic.
Feel kinda bad putting elves in the frail prompt, but oh well, they're not exactly tough xD

Frail doesn't have to be super frail. Such a great elf BTW!

8:31 [FRAIL] : All in all, the folk who have thrived within the hard territories of the Inbound Lands are a strong people, and those who live to an advanced age are considered a gift of wisdom and knowledge to the community, and play vital roles in mentoring the young, caring for the home, and speaking for the land.
