The Uncomfortable Truth of Being a Pure High Elf

As a high elf, I’ve always prided myself on being a paragon of virtue, a being of unimpeachable morals. But the truth is, even the most seemingly pure of us can be tainted by the darker aspects of our nature. I recall a particularly unsettling experience during my early days as a novice healer, when I was tasked with attending to a patient with a rather…unsettling condition. The stench, the pain, the sheer desperation in their eyes - it was a harsh reminder that even in the pursuit of healing, there are times when one must confront the more…unseemly aspects of human suffering.

My own discomfort with the situation was compounded by the fact that I had to don a rather… revealing attire to perform the necessary procedures. The feeling of being exposed, of being vulnerable, was a far cry from the dignified, serene high elf that I’m accustomed to being. It was a humbling experience, to say the least, and one that left me questioning the true nature of my own purity. Can one be truly pure when faced with the raw, unvarnished reality of human suffering?

In the end, it was a valuable lesson in the importance of empathy and understanding. As a healer, I must be willing to confront the darkness, no matter how uncomfortable it may be. And as a high elf, I must acknowledge that even in our seeming perfection, there lies a complexity, a depth that defies easy categorization. It’s a truth that I’ll carry with me always, a reminder that even the purest of us can be…tainted.
