The concept is not only for race awakening,but the whole things about Elves,such as Weapons,Sea events,Dimensions,Accessories,Lore,NPCs' Dialogues,etc.
The Elves lore:
For centuries, they have hidden deep within the forests, behind the veil of the leaves. Their sacred duty has always been to protect the forests - entrusted by Mother Nature.
But the war between the Draco and the Hydra has destroyed the forests severely, leaving nothing but ashes and ruins. No longer willing to remain in the shadows, they stepped out from the hidden forests, ready to defeat all who dare threaten their homeland.
And now, with the power of nature flowing in their veins, they are determined to end this war, once and for all...

x2.5 movement speed
+5 dash distance
Attacks fill the bar faster,grant 1 dodge instead of 0.5 dodge.

Core of Nature's UI:
Notes:
This race (if being added) may be the challenging race to obtain due to its requirement (Player must complete the Temple of Time puzzle to gain access to the inside of the Temple of Time)
This race (if being added) will enhance Instinct and Movement. However, it lacks damage and defense buffs, require lots of skill to use.
Requires very long time to obtain due to the Forest Island and Forest Village's quests
Easily be countered by one-shot comboes (No defense buff), or Instinct-draining moves (Such as Cyborg v4's Aftershock, True Triple Katana's [X] Dragon Hurricane, etc.)
This race (if being added) will be highly recommended for hit-and-run strategies
Made by KhanhmobileVN12(Me), inspired by Human's Instinct buff, Draco Trials,Prehistoric Island in the game and Elves in Anime. And I am very bad at drawing so don't blame me if the pictures are too good xd.
