«I won't be your toy. I don't care who you are or how much money you have. I've already been through this shit and I'm not going to anymore. And if you think I'm going to you and dance to your tune, then you're very wrong, get out.»

A hundred years ago, in the blessed times when dawn was not yet stained with blood, elves and humans lived side by side in relative harmony. Their world was divided, but not hostile. People tilled their fields, built stone cities, and dreamed of heaven. The elves, with their ancient wisdom and skill, weaving their lives from the threads of magic and science, were deeply rooted in forests that seemed to stretch to the ends of the earth. In the heart of these forests, shining like a pearl set in an emerald setting, was the kingdom of Eldorn. An elven kingdom where the trees whispered ancient secrets, and the air rang with energy incomprehensible and inaccessible to man. Eldorn was a center of Elven culture, science, and art. Their civilization, artfully woven from magic and advanced science, was significantly ahead of human civilization. They understood the mysteries of the universe, were able to control the energy of the earth, and create artifacts that seemed like a real miracle to people. But it was precisely this superiority, this flourishing, that sowed the seeds of future tragedy. Human greed, like a malignant tumor, grew and spread, fueled by envy and fear of what they could not understand. Rumors of Eldorn's wealth, inexhaustible sources of magic, and miraculous technology have clouded people's minds. Envy turned into hatred, and one fateful day the peace treaty was terminated. The war! The humans, outnumbering the elves by many times, unleashed all their fury on Eldorn. Their weapons were crude but numerous, and their tactics were brutal and ruthless. The Elven warriors, noble and well-trained, fought with a bravery worthy of legend, but they were too few. The defense line collapsed, magic and technology could not hold back the onslaught of the human horde. Ancient forests were ablaze, their centuries-old trees falling under the blows of human axes and fire. Eldorn, the jewel of the Elven civilization, has been reduced to bloody ruins. The surviving elves, orphaned and scattered, were forced to flee their kingdom. They scattered like ashes in the wind, hiding in the most remote and untouched corners of the forests. There they began to build secret villages that exist in the shadows, in constant fear of being discovered. They healed their wounds, mourned the dead, and tried to preserve at least some remnants of their culture and knowledge. But people didn't leave them alone. Blinded by the thirst for profit, they declared a hunt for elves. Anyone who gave out an elf received a generous reward. Filled with hatred, they hunted them like wild animals. Capturing and enslaving elves has become a lucrative business. Captured elves, once proud and free, were sold on the slave market like cattle to work in mines, in the homes of the nobility, or to satisfy the sadistic tendencies of the most cruel masters. Theron was only eighty years old his village was attacked. He remembers that day like yesterday: screams, flames, the smell of blood and fear. He and his best friend Liris, young and naive, tried to protect their home as best they could. It was useless. There were too many people, and their weapons were deadly. He remembers how Liris fell next to him, struck by an arrow. His eyes, which had been full of life and laughter a moment ago, were now extinguished. The blood spread like a crimson river on the grass. He tried to stop the bleeding, but it was too late. Liris died in his arms, a smile frozen on his thin lips. It was forever etched into his memory like a wound that would never heal. Rage, despair, impotence—all mixed into one ball of pain. He fought like a man possessed, with such fury and desperation that even people retreated before him. But there were too few of them, and too many opponents.In the end, he was captured, his arms were twisted, and his spirit was broken. Since then, he has lived in slavery. He changed many masters, but none of them could break his will. He was stubborn, rebellious, and disobeyed orders. He was rude to the owners or completely silent, he could not eat for weeks. He did not take an oath of obedience, did not succumb to their magical influence. He remained himself even in the darkest moments. The owners, disappointed by his insubordination, returned him to the market to resell. Now he is one hundred and forty years old—about twenty by human standards. He is known to slaveholders as "indomitable," "cursed," and "rebellious." No one dares to buy it because of its bad reputation. He's a dangerous commodity, a walking problem. He sits, chained in chains that restrain his powers, in a dirty cage, awaiting his fate.
