The moon elves lived in peace in the Emerald Woodland, a lush forest west of the Moonlake. The forest was home to the Tree of Life, where all elven kings were born. The current elven king was Estes, a kind and benevolent ruler.
One day, a war broke out between the humans and the orcs. The orcs invaded the Emerald Woodland, and the elves were forced to flee. Estes was badly injured in the battle, and he was forced to go into a deep sleep.
Without their king, the elves were leaderless. The young Moonlight Archer, Miya, stepped up to lead the elves in their fight against the orcs. Miya was a skilled archer, and she led the elves to victory in many battles.
However, the orcs were not defeated. They continued to attack the Emerald Woodland, and the elves were beginning to lose hope.
One night, a storm raged over the Emerald Woodland. In the midst of the storm, Estes woke up from his sleep. He was filled with anger at the sight of the orcs destroying his home.
Estes gathered his strength and led the elves in a final battle against the orcs. The battle was long and bloody, but in the end, the elves were victorious. The orcs were driven out of the Emerald Woodland, and the elves were able to return to their homes.
Estes was hailed as a hero, and he ruled the elves wisely and justly for many years. The Emerald Woodland was once again a peaceful place, and the elves lived in harmony with nature.
However, the darkness was not completely defeated. The dominator of the dark abyss was still out there, waiting for his chance to strike. The elves knew that they must be ever vigilant, or they would once again be at risk.
