Deep in the forest the elves have lived in peace and serenity, at one with their forest, for millennia. Their ways and culture have not changed, not for the coming of humanity and not during the rise and fall of humanity's kingdoms.
Alannah is a young elven girl still trying to understand the direction of her life. But her life is about to change. Dark days are ahead for her people, and Alannah must face her fears and voyage out into the wider world if her people have a chance of surviving.

I wrote an extremely short first chapter on Facebook, mostly as a joke, but it proved to be overwhelmingly popular with the LitRPG crowd (having more likes than my main piece of fiction). By popular demand here is Elvendark. I don't know how often I will update this. So it might go slowly at first.
As requested on Facebook, the text has gone back to its original short choppy version. Future chapters will continue in this style. Thanks for the feedback.
