Is that so? Is she an "elf" like you, Frieren?

[spellcollect]

No. A human.

[ She sounds a touch fond. ]

The time of elves is passing.

[gaeaf]

A human.

[ She repeats, voice neutral. She has conflicting feelings toward humans. Although she despises the Human Order and the ones who drove her counterpart away from her claim, she does not resent the ones in her kingdom as much as she does with the other fae. ]

Why must it be so? Why can't both times align together?

[spellcollect]

That I cannot say. Perhaps it's just a matter of the gulf between us. Elves are long-lived; we do not often seek romance or to reproduce. Humans are shorter-lived... but they can accomplish so much when they put their minds to it.

[gaeaf]

You do not create progeny in another way?

[ Faeries in Britain are infertile as humans are. No, they are because that "humanity" is. But they repopulate with other means. ]

It will be a shame. A world dominated by only humans will lose its magic. It will become grey, polluted, and twisted, breaking any covenant with nature. In the end, they will ravage its resources and destroy their own future.

We recreate the same as humans. But I think we lack the same drive to do so...

[ Or it could just be her, jury is out on that one. ]

And I don't think that's true. At least not in my world - some of the most skilled and worthwhile magicians have been humans.

I see. [ A beat. This isn't a topic she will usually bring up.  ] Have your people tried aphrodisiacs? You will become extinct if you do not reproduce.

Give them time. Unless the majority have access to this, they will abandon it for science. Their consumerism nature may yet to stir.

[spellcollect]

Some of them may have. I haven't.

[ ANd she has no interest in actually having children anyway, so... ]

We'll see. I think they'd surprise you, if you were to see them.
