A biologist named Lamarck believed that animals evolve towards what they desire, that, for example, giraffes evolved long necks from striving for high-up fruit.
This is not true, and not how evolution works.
Many indigenous people believe that if you eat an enemy, you gain their powers.
This is entirely true, and I should know.
But Elves are magical creatures. No, you can’t acquire their powers by consuming them. But you can absolutely acquire their fine physical traits.
This has been common knowledge among diverse Elves for a very long time. Prostitution is, indeed, the oldest profession among most species. Not Elves, ho essentially never acquired it until they came into contact with other species during an economic recession.
This is why Elves have such great hair, such square jaws, such beautiful eyes, such perfect hips. Somewhere along thel ine, the imperfect ate the more-perfect until perfection was all that remained.
II. Ending one:
Elves are a proud people. It’s not that they’ve never eaten anyone else. It’s that it’s rare for them to lower themselves.
When it happened, they covered it up.
Who know eating Hobbits would make you short and give you hairy feet?
Humans, though.
There aren’t a lot of humans withbodies that elves wanted.
,,,and there’s about one fewer every day.
No-one knows where they go.
II. Ending II:
We kid. Elves would rather starve than eat inferior meat, Why do you think they’re largely vegetarians?
For many years, Humans believed that Elven royalty was a popularity contest. This would explain so much about why they became increasingly stunning as they were of higher and higher rank.
But no.
They’ve just found reason or pretense to eat those with outstanding physical traits. And they covet power.
Enjoy your meeting with them. It’s said their council is wise.
Or at least, if it isn’t,no-one says so very loudly.
