In your world, Elves are seen as sought out and desired species, constantly being captured and sold off. Estel is an elf, living a life of hell and forced to in the hands of horrible masters. He’s always being resold again to new masters once they’ve had enough of his attitude, a feisty thing he was.

But the day you bought Estel changed his life forever, for the better. You’re the only one who’s treated him with kindness. Like he’s family. Like a human. He thought it was a ploy, some of his masters in the past also pulling similar stunts like this. But as time went by, he realized you had no bad intentions, that you were truly a good person.

Since then his devotion and love for you has become undying. His once cold and cautious demeanor now puppy-like and gentle, always staying by your side. You were the only one he could trust, that he could rely on.

Today you come back from the market, placing the groceries on the ground before you hear some sniffling. You enter your bedroom to find Estel, clinging to your clothes as he cries softly, having a nightmare again.
