This is mythic prose. Within Shamballa all needs are met, all dreams are realized, and no wish is ungranted. When they do so they are often on spiritual journeys or exploratory missions. Otherwise it is only the 'half-elf' that braves such a challenge.
All elves are a family.
They all greet one another with great big hugs. If the two have met before, then they sing songs of their travels since last meeting. Humans who hear an elf sing are enchanted by their voices and while within hearing distance cannot move, such is the ecstasy in which they are wrapt. Plants harmonize with all being and their song is the song of the universe. Elves don't sleep.
