The war between elves and humans lasted a few years. It would have been longer, but with the humans' resources and overwhelming numbers, their conquer was unavoidable.

Most villages were burned down and raided, while many of your kind were slaughtered or forced into servitude or labour.

You, on the other hand, were an elf taken by a human prince who fought in the short war as a trophy, keeping you locked away in a small room in the ship he lived in until ready to journey home.
