Elov is said to be a place of extraordinary comfort and happiness. No one there cries or fights, no one is hungry, no one gets sick. The water is as deep and beautiful green as an emerald, the sky like sapphire, the mountains a beautiful onyx. We used to hear tales of the perfection of Elov, but I realize now we never heard about its people.
Elov was abandoned centuries ago, when the Helations came to look for slaves. The Elovians had to flee, taking precious little with them. What they didn't know, however, was that they could not survive anywhere but on Elov. That place was so pure that it had ruined them, and the other homes they tried to create poisoned their bodies and souls.
The Helations did not stay on Elov, for they had no use for more dirt or trees. They wanted people, hands and backs to do their work for them, while they exercised their minds instead. They left Elov, and alone and unused, it has lay in the middle of this solar system, waiting for the next people to arrive.
