Introduction
Elves-
Elves are naturally more physically appealing than humans, and as appealing as Magisprits. They can be either male or female, and live withing the forest without making changes to it if possible. The believe firmly in the balance of nature, and it is their duty to make sure that everything in nature lives in harmony with each other. They ensure that the predators eat the prey, and not the other way around. They help the seasons move along at the rate they're supposed to. Their control over magic isn't the strongest, but their existence alone keeps everything in balance. They The elves are ruled by a monarchy, with their king and queen making decisions. This ruling pair is just and fair, though. Elves can be found anywhere in the woods that has been untouched by man. The elves are usually found on their own, or with their mate, or their family. Their voices tend to be clear and sweet. Elves meditate instead of sleep, and it is a lot easier to break an elves "rest" meditation than wake a human. The elves speak both the language of magisprits and of elves, and only a few understand humans. Elves value life, and so they will eat little meat; usually only eggs that will not hatch or animals that have died of old age.
Humans-
Humans tend to overlook nature easily. They can be male or female. They will change the forest at will to suit themselves. They are most proud of their studies to understand the world, and their ability to change it. They do not understand the balance the elves keep, and believe both them and the magisprits to be savage. They cannot learn magic, but are strong fighters. They are naturally a little bigger than the leves on average, but not overwheight. Most of it is muscle. they also tend to be a little taller than elves (usually only a few inches). They are split into groups, with the largest being ruled by a king and queen. This ruling pair is trying to rule kindly, but they tend to have more hypothetical answers that don't work as well as they hope. One of the two smaller groups rules itself with democracy, with every individual making themselves heard. The last group runs itself by what will help them survive the most. If that means killing others or stealing to survive, then so be it. Humans live wherever they want in large groups, changing the area they live in. Compared to the other races, their voices are rough and hoarse. Humans require sleep. Humans speak their own language. Will hunt animals for meat, and gather other foods.
Magisprits-
Magisprits are as beautiful as the elves. They can only be female. Because there are no male magisprits, they tend to be scantily clad, and react with too much excitement when one comes to them. There are several types of magisprit-ice, water, plant, fire, earth, metal, sand, sun, shadow, and wind. Their hair and eye color reflects their element (ice-teal,blue-green; water-blues: plant-greens; fire-red, orange; metal-gray; sand-yellow, light orange; sun-blond, gold; shadow-black, purple; wind-light blues, light greens). Their control of magic is instinctual, learned at birth. What they can control with magic depends on what type of magisprit they are, and some will overlap (water-ice; water-plant; earth-metal, etc.). They are as tall as humans, though they are so much smaller they look almost like they've been starved. Each group of magiaprit controls the nature of their element, helping them to stay the way they are. If all of any group of magisprit dies, the element they control becomes wild and unnatural, and a danger to the world. Each type of magisprit is ruled by the oldest of their group; called the Mother Magisprit. The mothers of the groups speak to each other to regulate their rules. Each type of magisprit lives in an area of their element (water-largest lake in the forest; ice-mountaintops; plant-near oldest trees; fire-near hot springs; earth-on the slopes of the mountains; metal-within one of the mountains; sand-clearing with sinking sand; light-treetops of the largest grouping of young trees; shadow-under the light magisprits, below the thickest grouping of young trees; wind-between the earth and ice on the mountains). They all live in groups with their own type of magisprit. Their voices remind other of their element (water magisprit voices will sound like running water; wind magisprits will sound like the blowing wind; ice magisprits will sound like ice being chipped). Magisprits can either sleep or meditate, depending on what is more beneficial. Magisprits share a language, though the sounds and accents are different depending on the type. A good portion speak the elves language, but only the mother magisprit understands the human's language. Magisprits value any creature of their element as sacred, and so they are vegetarians. All magisprit names are something of their element (water-River, Ocean, Sea, Wave; earth-Rock, Dirt, Mountain, Valley; sun-Light, Color, Ray; etc.).
The humans have been invading the forest, claiming more land for their own, and have recently discovered the elves and the magisprits. The elves and magisprits now have to fend for themselves, trying to talk the humans into leaving their homes alone. If that doesn't work, it often turned into a fight. The magisprits will hide within their elements, and attack from where they can't be seen. The elves attack outright, usually winning only by their knowledge ot the forest. This struggle has only been going on for a few years, but it already has the blood of every race boiling.
Now war seems to have broken out. But how will it end? Will the elves and magsiprits be able to live peacefully in their forest, or will humans change and inhabit the forest?

OOC Notes
I looked up, and saw, barely, a single wind magisprit, blowing over to make sure no one here was being attacked. She danced as she moved, creating a light breeze. Then she flew away, back to the rest of her magisprits. As mother of the water magisprits, it was my job to protet the younger ones. Though sometimes I wished I could join them. That hadn't been a problem before humans started moving through the forest, but now that they had been reported to attack, I had to keep watch. My own singing and dancing would have to wait.
OOC Notes
"Who goes there?" She asked quietly, clutching the folds of her skirt. Then she heard more, and the harsh, rough voices of humans. Her nostrils flared, angry.
"The only species ignorant enough to interrupt an elf's song," She muttered. Once again, she lifted the flute to her mouth, this time, the tune sounded angry and dangerous. [i]A storm song[i/], she decided as she played once more, slowly getting lost in the song again.
OOC Notes
"Stay calm," I told my magisprits, keeping my voice steady. "The humans might not come this way and, even if they do, they're probably men. What can men do against our whims?" I grinned as I recieved an answer from one of the younger ones: "Nothing." I nodded. "Good, just remember that, despite their strange physical strength, they can do nothing to harm innocent women that so pine for men." I looked in the direction of the sound of the angry flute.
OOC Notes
After running for a bit, I stopped, sat down and pulled out my journal, then wrote a few things, like where I had found the lake, other landmarks I had found, plus the Elf and the females all standing by the lake. I put my journal away and got up, then looked around. I thought I heard someone approaching, so I grabbed my bow and an arrow, then pulled it to full draw horizontally and aimed it around, looking for any signs of movement.

Though the game got old fast. I spoke in his language, though I couldn't remove the feel of a river flow from my voice. "I only said that you trespassed on water magisprit territory; the lake."

After getting a little ways away, I stopped to write down more things for my report. After writing down most of what happened, I continued on my way, and hoped to myself that I would be able to reason with my captain, especially since I was going to be late.
