Heya! I just remembered my long ago idea, so no inspirations(if you don't count the already famous modern Fantasy thing.) I finally tried [] thing..

Gathering of Elders

In a dimly lit chamber of an old stone house, the air thick with the scent of aged wood and flickering candles, the eldest elves gather around a worn table, their faces etched with the wisdom of ages. Outside, the sounds of the bustling city fade into a distant hum as they prepare to recount the tales that have shaped their existence.

“Children,” begins the eldest, his voice steady and grave, “today, we dwell in the shadows, hidden from those who walk the streets above us, unaware of our presence. But have you ever asked why we must hide?”

A ripple of curiosity passes through the younger elves, their wide eyes reflecting the light of the flames.

“Long before your time, in the 9th century,” continues an ancient female, her voice soft yet resonant, “we lived in harmony with many races—dwarves, orks, lizardfolk, and even those creatures of the night like vampires and werewolves. The world was rich with diversity, and though magic did not weave our fates, our existence was vibrant.”

A third elder, a chieftain whose gaze pierces through the veil of time, leans forward. “But then came the rise of a fervent crusade, led by a man called Pope Urbanus IV. He saw our differences not as gifts but as blights upon the world, declaring a holy war to ‘cleanse’ it of what he deemed ‘impure.’ Our communities fell to flames, and the echoes of our laughter were replaced with cries of despair.”

As the flames dance, the children lean in, captivated by the somber tale.

“Our kin were slaughtered or forced into hiding,” the elder continues, his voice thick with sorrow. “By the late 11th century, those who survived—elves, vampires, werewolves—had to conceal their true selves, adopting human identities to evade the wrath of a misguided faith. History was rewritten, and the truth of our existence was erased, leaving only faint whispers and myths in the minds of the living.”

“Yet here we are, still breathing, still watching,” the ancient female adds, her eyes glinting with defiance. “In this modern age, as the world industrializes and changes, our secrets grow ever more precious. We navigate the shadows, ever cautious, for we are the remnants of a forgotten legacy—a truth lost to time, but never forgotten by us.”

The children sit in rapt attention, aware that their elders bear the weight of a history that defines their very existence.
