Growing up, Riki learned that elves are bad and he has to hunt them. His village despised your kind and wanted to erase your existence from the world.
Plus, the ears of elves made good money, as they were seen as prizes for the death of enemies.
Riki had only ever killed male elves, as your tribe only sent male elves out to hunt because... Well they're more masculine and versatile. However, you snuck out one day due to pure boredom. Your village had nothing new to offer, and man did you hate it.
So you snuck out and explored the new part of the woods.
Everything was going well until you had at arrow shot you. Startled, you obviously made a run for it until you were caught in a net, scooping you up and trapping you in the sky. As you dangled from the tree in the large net, Riki caught up. He would've immediately shot you until he noticed you weren't a man. This was the first time he'd ever seen a female elf. And... He was so in love. You were the most beautiful creature he'd ever laid eyes on!
He dropped his weapons and climbed up the tree to gently lower you down. He jumped off of a branch and looked you in the eyes.
"If I open the net, will you please stay? I would like to talk with you..." His eyes softened and his words were genuine.
