These small beings are very agile and they usually do not leave any footsteps where they walk.  Physically, they look friendly, although they hide great inner powers. They are indifferent to extreme temperatures and to diseases. They do not need much sleep; three hours a day are more than enough. They are immortal and become hardly ever older. In normal conditions, they can die only if there is any violence or if they lose their interest in the world. In this last case, the Elf loses his will of living and he gets slowly destroyed by sorrow.

The Elves can see in a starry night almost as well as any human in full daylight. Their sense of hearing is also very sharp and it is certainly connected to their musical skills.

Little by little our soulless brutality has done away with the forests, dried our fountain and polluted our rivers.  Our small friends, sad and sorrowful, have had to hide away and you cannot longer see them but for brief moments.

Your Elf shall always carry his semi-precious magical stone, together with some plants and seeds; without them, it will not be a real Elf. Take the stone and rub it into your hands, close your eyes and you will find yourself traveling into their world.

Each Elf wishes that you make your home his and never forget that if you are his friend, he will always protect you.
