Inside the Elven Forest, In the very center stood a colossal tree, towering above all others. Or rather, what remained of it. The great trunk looked like they had been sliced cleanly in half. But it was constructing itself.
From the severed stump oozed a strange green, slime-like substance that writhed and shimmered under the sunlight. They are spitting out tissues to mend the world Tree.
Beneath the broken World Tree, a Dark Elf sat cross-legged in deep meditation. A single word glowed upon his forehead in burning red script: "Sin."
He slowly opened his eyes, sensing a disturbance.
"Someone dares to breach the barrier? A Dark Elf...?" he muttered to himself, his voice low and rumbling like distant thunder.
He stood up and disappeared.

"Swim like a Kun," he whispered.
