self-preservation

You ran to the nearby forest to wait out the attack. The pine trees could hide you from the elves you thought to yourself. As you sat back watching the town get obliterated by the elves army, you felt like you made the right choice.

The people in your town didn't fight back beside a few men here and there. At the end the elves tie all the humans up side by side making them walk out of the city. Then five elves stay back getting all the supplies fir their army. From this far you couldn't tell their genders.

After a few hours watching the elves tear up Borg they all seen to leave with the supplies tied around the bellies of their horses. You walk to your home to find it wreck.

"Damn." you said looking at your cut in half bed.

You saw some of your food left untouched by the elves. The food was only a few slices of beard and cheese. You place them in a sack that you kept beneath your bed.

As you begin your long walk to Laarse you hear a string pull back. You knock the incoming arrow away from as you ran from the elf that shot at you.

You heard a female voice in your native tongue, "Hold there human or I will shoot and end your pathetic life."
