Birth of Elves

== The Beginning ==
When Keltharia was going through its Evolutionary / Animal Kingdom stage, there were these lakes of magical life. It wasn't like the ocean water, no.. This water lit up in the night and gave the trees that surrounded it an odd shape. As years flew by they started looking like tall wooden statues of what are now known as elves. After a storm had passed the trees began to speak to one and other, the speech they had spoke was not of a language but of sounds and roars it was how the Ents communicated with each other. They called themselves "Ents", and as time passed they learned how to uproot from the ground and walk upright on the very soil that gave birth to them. It wasn't long before they had built a home in their "Birthplace." Not after long, over hundreds of them stood proud, as their civilization was thriving.
=== A Falling Star ===
In days past the Ents had seen many storms, but none like the one they saw that one evening.. When the stars that lit the sky at night were bright even though the Sun was awake, and began to fall down on their home. They were burning hot and burnt anything in their paths in a frenzied panic. Many of the Ents died in the flame, however many more fled to the lakes. They went underwater for as long as they could to bide their time, and wait for the blazing storm to die down.
=== A New Change ===
The Ents believed they could stay underwater forever, but found themselves shocked when they had to come up for air. When they went to the surface their body was no longer wooden, and their face not covered with leaves as they once were. They had fingers and palms, and they were purple and blue as the very lake that gave birth to them.
=== Learning Speech ===
The Ents had come a long way from being nearly wiped out and no longer communicated through sounds, but with their tongue. They were able to create their own language, and the use of it only created more possibilities.
=== Establishing Civilization ===
The Ents, no longer having any signs that they once were walking trees no longer called themselves "Ents", and renamed their race after the language they had created, "Elven". The love for trees was still apart of their culture, so they dwelled in them, creating homes in the trees and using the wood from fallen trees to build houses. The Elves also added something else they did not have to do as Ents to their culture.. Hunting...
