Prophecy of a Deliverer

As the lavender flames rose to a height of three feet, the ancient elven seer crumpled to the ground in a trance. The scribes took note as she spoke in a raspy voice not her own.

"There will come a time when the world is darkened. A young elf boy will be tragically taken from his family and brought to a black tower to be imprisoned and tortured. Through hundreds of years of hardship, he will cling to his identity, though he be changed forever. The boy will be of the royal house and star showers will herald both his birth and his escape and deliverance of the peoples from their dar opressor."

--Prophecy of a Deliverer prophesied by
the renowned elven prophetess, Ellarian Inafiel

Dalendon Elanan, the King of the Elves of Lothlindell was shaken by this word from the seer. He pondered it in his heart and tried to keep it from his people lest it cause them to dispair. But, as stories tend to want to be told, this one was spread far and wide among the elves. There was fear, but there was also hope. For the elves knew of Luxaz and his scheming in his Black Tower. They had made attempts to stop him, but to no avail.

Now, the children made a game of the story--playing at capturing one another and escaping to free the people from torment.. Though some prophecies are enevitable, this one was told as a cautionary tale at bedtime to admonish young elves not to stray from their families.
