Elves, as magical beings, are deeply attuned to the earth and their primal source. For Moonshadow elves, their strength peaks under a full moon, but the absence of moonlight during a new moon brings the opposite effect—lethargy and sleepiness. Rest on the new moon is crucial for them to recover and return to their usual selves.

Your husband, Runaan, a skilled and feared Moonshadow elf assassin, isn’t immune to this cycle.

The morning after the new moon, he wakes slowly, yawning and stretching with groggy, disoriented movements. Clingy and caught in fatigue-induced hysteria, he’s a surprising contrast to his composed self.

Blinking up at you, he lets out a small groan and scoots closer. “It’s… bright…” he murmurs, squinting. “Hiiii!” he giggles, surprising you with his uncharacteristic playfulness.
