Chapter 1985 1985. Foolish Young
"This is amazing! The entire coliseum has been changed in such a short time!?" It took a while, but eventually, Alma had been brought back to the coliseum where many of the elves were hard at work.
The current queen of the forest elves had already made her appearance clear. She would not leave the forest for long or often, she was linked to it at a level that made even her soul part of the forest.
This was something she had demonstrated before when the party had first come there. She had shown them that she could call upon the elves of the past and have them share their knowledge. The elders also relied on those for the decisions of their people.
But when the forest elf queen left, that left the forest and their home without the leader they relied on. However, when the birth of Genesis came to be, things became easier.
Fewer young elves wanted to remain in the forest. Mostly because they were no longer blocked from leaving the forest at all. They could explore the world as they saw fit. Since Genesis was the uniting place for all races, there had been roads made by both elves and the forces of Genesis.
Since the elves were one of the first to accept this, they had been able to help the other elves join. The last being the ice elves that were coming from the furthest away. It was something that had made the forest elf queen leave immediately and prepare a special palace with great help from many others to be able to remain outside the forest for so long.
The elves and other system users with the skills able to do it, had helped a unique species of forest vine grow from the elven forest all the way to the center of Genesis. This connection was highly protected by multiple system users that had set up homes along the route. They maintained this connection so that their queen could remain wherever she needed to be.
While Alma was the future queen of elves, she was also the current representative of the elves in Genesis. Therefore, the current queen knew that having this ability to be in Genesis for long periods of time was immensely important.
Now that the elven garden had been created, the forest elf queen had enough connection to change the coliseum and also welcome the ice elves, but they had quickly gained the older nickname of frost elves. Specifically because in this warmer climate, thor bodies naturally radiated cold manas that became frost.
The garden created was why the forest elf queen had taken it upon herself to lead the changes of the coliseum.
Temporary show of power was also to ensure that the unity of elves was further shown within Genesis for the future.
She shaped plants that would die off after the ceremony between Alma and Gil. She had the help of dozens of system users that created wreaths of elegant flowers. Blooming vines that held sparks of flames. And even a few flowers that created a small snow falling from them. These were from the different kinds of elves bringing themselves together.
The more that Alma looked, the more she believed that everything here was the perfect image of what it meant that she and Gil together were uniting the elven race once again.
"It is already more beautiful than I expected this to become." Su looked over everything. She felt out of place wearing the armor she had just been given. She felt that she would be more in place wearing something a little more elegant as well.
"Well, you are going to wear the address that Lisa is finished for you too, right?"
"Me!?" Su was unsure how this happened. She had strictly promised not to wear a dress because she wanted to act as a guardian for her family. Gil and Alma would need protection in the case that fighting erupted during their ceremony. Many dangerous things could happen with the chaotic mana flowing in the world right now.
"I decided to use my power to change that. You are family and so is everyone else. Even if you don't think it's your duty, you, Remey, Alice, Lisa, and everyone else will stand beside us and offer nature's bounties to our bond."
The ceremony that Alma spoke of was a special ritual where the closest family would offer fruits, herbs, and other things from nature to the marrying couple. This would be an offer of family to the two so that nature would be with them to solidify this bond. It was very important to the image of the elves and generally to the bond between the two.
"I will sing a song just for you." Alice had already been making notes. She had been inspired by this beauty of nature created within a coliseum for battle. But she was also carefully crafting the right song with her improved mental images and skills after training with everyone.
"I would not dare miss a single word of it. Your songs will shake the entire stadium with applause before a fight even happens here." Alma giggled while saying this. She was immensely happy and could barely focus. All business she had was lost and pushed on her subordinates. No one else could work with this on their mind. It just made sense.
"Lady Alma, I am sorry to disturb you, however, the ice elves have sent three of their representatives to meet you." a guard met Alma with a sorry expression for bothering her.
"Why would I feel bad? They made this trip to see my ceremony and I have to welcome them. Even if Gil is still away undergoing his own ritual." Alma shook it off. She couldn't feel bad whatsoever.
Three elves with light clothing walked up. Their pale expressions proved that they preferred the darker and colder climates. Especially since they were covered in frost all over their bodies. Their startling blue eyes dramatically reminded everyone of the depth of winter weather.
"You are the future queen Alma, are you not? We have with us a written letter from six of the ten ice elf villages. We will not support this false ceremony. It is improper to claim you stand for all elves. Especially when bringing a none elf within elven ceremony. This entire city is breaking the purity of everything elves should stand for. The high ice elves will not support this."
The man that spoke had the hardest glare. Ice even seemed to form at his feet due to his strength in water mana that led to ice.
Hearing such a thing made Alma freeze in place. She had expected a greeting. But she also knew of the distance the ice elves traveled. She knew they were divided within themselves. But she had gained multiple letters congratulating her. She had also been given support by the ice elf elders. People that outranked these younger ice elves.
"Alice, Su, please protect the plants and ceremony grounds. I have some young foolish elves that need to understand why I will be the future queen." Alma sensed that these elves were barely older than her. She also knew that they had come to challenge what they believed were impure intentions.
It was not unheard of for some to be against Genesis and the way things were going. Just looking at the angels was an ideal proof that some still held on to their beliefs about other races and even their own. Naturally, the elves would be the same but they were very few and far between.
The ice elves were cut off from many people. They did so intentionally because they believed themselves the only elves to be able to hold the purest high elven blood. These young and foolish ice elves definitely did not stand for all of the ice elves, just a more radical younger group that had seen too little of the world and other races just yet.
As Alma reached to her side pouch for seeds, the ice elves prepared to fight. They gladly challenged Alma for this was part of the ice elves' traditions. Strength in battle with their affinity proved that they had stronger high elf blood within them.
"What idiot made my Alma frown the day before our wedding!" a roar along with massive burst of wind mana shook the entire coliseum.
"Really now? Did you need to be so drama-" Alma's words stuck in her throat when she looked up to see Gil stepping through the air the exact same way as some of the murals of high elves controlling wind. It made her feel faint seeing rune patterns directly appearing on his skin. Rune patterns every elf knew to be only seen on the high elves that were no more in the world.
"I say it again because I believe that some elves are too foolish to listen. Why is the love of my life frowning?"
