614. Koli

Koli was rejected by his dark elf family because of his love of music his beliefs clashed with those of his parents who only viewed him as an embarrassment While they were thieves and assassins clad in cloaks and smell of death his long black hair clashed with his colourful clothes emitting the light of life and joy that his people could not understand He sought beauty within instruments seeking happiness in tunes and notes they were happy with destruction feeding off another's misery and pain Though he cast his family's beliefs aside many wood and high elves rejected him due to their history of wars against his kind he was no longer one of his people even if his skin said otherwise Then one day they heard him play and sing and took him to their hearts with joy finally seeing that beneath his skin he was just like one of them Now he is celebrated throughout the woods and across the mountains high he never wonders about where he came from he has a new family now that accepts him
