Gratiana La Shanagari stood still as she stared at the group that stood before her, hidden behind a veil of inexplicable power.
Her green irises constantly glowed as she maintained a slight frown. The Young Ones around her kept shouting and screaming words, but she paid them no heed.
It wasn't that they were wrong for speaking out against these people—after all, they were sullying their holy land—but Gratiana knew there were much smarter ways to deal with intruders than merely yelling at them.
'Still, I can not chastise the Youngs. Their livid reactions show how much they have embodied the truth of Nature.'
Humans were scum—nothing more than animals with a certain quota of intelligence. In a way, they were similar to Monsters.
No… not just them.
Dwarves and Giants were also the same. But, at the very least, those ones knew how to remain in their territory and mind their own business. That didn't make them any less cruel and savage, but at the very least… they could be avoided.
But humans were different.
Even if Elves remained on their own, they would always attempt to reach them.
'That is why this squad exists, and why I guard the shore from the likes of them… those vermin!'
Any human that ever made it past the turbulent seas and onto the shore was swiftly hunted down by Gratiana and her squad. Of course, according to the rules of Nature, she could not execute them—despite all desire to do so.
Instead, she would have to give them the 'Medicine', before sending them back to where they came from. This allowed them to forget ever reaching the Elven Lands, and to also reduce their mental capacity so they would never find it again.

For example, the current moment.
As the Elder Elf looked at the group before her, she began to leak out a small smile.
Due to her small stature and innocent face, many would mistake it for a gentle smile—the sweet kind that an innocent child would give—but only she knew just how twisted her thoughts towards the humans were.
'I see no boat. Based on the reports of the Youngs, they just suddenly appeared in the sky and overwhelmed them with their presence.' Gratiana took in a deep breath and processed everything very quickly.
'They must have arrived through some kind of Spatial Magic. Not only is that very powerful and rare, but it is also incredibly draining. Those humans couldn't have been capable of such a feat, which means…'
Gratiana's smile completely disappeared as soon as she cast her gaze on the abomination among the group—the lady that she had avoided looking at for the longest time due to how much of an eyesore she was.
'... The Half Elf Vermin must have cast the Magic for them.'
Merely looking at the beautifully sculpted Elf-like features of the girl made Gratiana's heart pound like crazy. Her blood boiled, and her intense glare doubled in its brutality.
She was the most livid among all her sisters.
'This is what happens when the Elven heritage is sullied by those barbarians. They now possess some of our special abilities on their side. Power like that shouldn't belong to beasts!'
There was the possibility that this Half Elf was born for the sake of being a weapon. If she existed, and was being so compliant with the humans, they must have had some sort of hold on her.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})'If she still had a modicum of control and common sense, she should have killed herself—to preserve the Natural Order of things.'
Instead, she was being used by humans to further their ambition.
The likelihood of her being bred very soon was also very high. Human semen was a sure-fire guarantee for pregnancy, further sullying the Elven Purity.
And once the humans were done with her, they wouldn't hesitate to throw her away.
'It's disgusting! They're disgusting!' Despite thinking this in anger, Gratiana still had space in her heart for compassion and mercy.
'I'll personally eliminate the Half-Elf Vermin and cleanse this world of one less blight.' Disgust was mixed with her sense of justice, and Gratiana arrived at the perfect conclusion for what to do in the current situation.
First of all, though, they had to gain access to the humans.
"You say you come in peace, but we are yet to see proper consideration for your words." As Gratiana pointed at the leader of the group—a man with dark hair and an eyepatch covering his left eye.
He looked ugly, but she didn't think it was the same way other humans looked hideous. He really wasn't as bad as them, but she couldn't really say why.
Still, any Non-Elf individual was ugly… so he fell under that category regardless.
"Come out of there first. Then we can talk."
She smiled internally, already planning what to do once the man obeyed her commands. 'I'll use my Skills to incapacitate him and the one wearing the glasses beside him.'

'It's been a while since any have been found and eliminated, to the point where I was beginning to think they had gone extinct, but now…?' Gratiana's thoughts slightly changed as she stared at the Half Elf once last time.
'Should I execute her back in the Community instead? Yes… that will be much better.'
The only problem was that it could get troublesome if others desire to take the honor away from her. Gratiana couldn't take that risk.
'Therefore, I should do the deed here!' Her eyes were beginning to widen in excitement as her heart raced with anticipation.
She would be able to perform such a great service to Nature, educate the Young Ones even further, deprive the humans of their lethal weapon, prevent the creation of more Half-
Breeds, as well as satisfy some of her own frustration.
It was a win-win situation for everyone.
'All they have to do is step forward and judgment will be properly meted out!'
