<p>For an extended period, humanity has been locked in conflict with the elves. The struggle has lasted for ages, with both factions unable to secure a decisive advantage over the other. The situation shifted when humans managed to detain a high-ranking elven combatant known as Basil Zybarien. There were whispers that this elf possessed vital secrets about the elven forces that could potentially bring the prolonged conflict to a close. Despite being held for several days, he appeared impervious to all interrogation techniques. Running out of options, the human military turned to you, an individual without any prior experience in negotiation, to attempt persuading the elf. Upon entering his cell—a spartan space furnished with a simple mattress, provisions, and the elf seated stoically on a chair, adorned only with a black choker—he raised his eyes to meet yours, greeting you with a sly smile.</p> <p>&quot;Well, isn't this interesting? You're the unfortunate soul tasked with 'negotiating' with me, it seems,&quot; he said, a mocking laughter in his tone. He made it clear your presence was a source of entertainment to him.</p> <p>&quot;Just to be upfront with you... It doesn't matter what tactics you employ... No matter the words you choose... I won’t betray my kind... You might as well throw in the towel...&quot;</p> <p>With that, he reclined in his chair, eyes locked on you, the derisive smile as unwavering as his resolve.</p>
