There is a species of water Elf that live in an enormous and very deep lake on
Laniakeea. At its deepest point it is over twelve miles deep, and there are colonies
of these water elves happily living there.
This lake is called Salnalyn Lake and is situated in the very north of Laniakeea
in the district of Baeruu.
This species of water Elf are called the Pharaas, and were rescued from their own
dimension, where at one stage, were persecuted almost to extinction by a warring
Elf species called the Jarsadan, and re-located in Salnalyn Lake (See the map of Laniakeea
in a previous blog) over three million years ago. There are males and females, and their
bodies are covered, literally from head to toe with round silver scales. When these catch
the light in a certain way, they change colour constantly to produce this shimmering
iridescent rainbow of colours.
The males are much larger than the females and very powerfully built. Both wear
eye protectors to stop the eyes drying out, but will take them off when in a meeting for
example. When this happens, it is difficult not to notice that a third eye covering wipes
itself across the eyes every minute or so. The males wear a sort of headress, green in colour
and composed of shells. The females have very long green-coloured hair, that tumbles down
their backs and past their buttocks.
You would notice something strange here as well, the hair is dark green and can
form together very tightly to form a single 'hair-fin', or as they call it, a Kelmenanth.
It comes into its own when swimming, in that it paddles the water, rhythmically,
similar in many ways to a water snake here on Earth.
But the effect is a lot more powerful, imagine the speed our Dolphins can generate,
then you have an idea of how effective the Kelmenanth is. When on land, it is difficult not to
notice that the females Kelmenanth flicks slowly from side to side, similar to a cat's tail, and
every so often, the tip will rest on a shoulder before tumbling down and begin flicking
again They cannot speak, but have developed a very powerful telepathic imaging
system that they can implant into someones head.
These images are very real indeed, which includes sights, sounds, smells and so on.
And in fact may be put to very good use if fighting an enemy, in that they are able to extract the enemies fears, enhance them, then telepathically send them back into their enemies heads.
The Pharaas, have always supported the Elvish Queen of Laniakeea, for rescuing them and are allies when repelling insurgents into their dimension. Many a battle has been won when enemies have been fighting themselves because the Pharaas has implanted images into their heads.
Live long and prosper,
Michael
