You ran away from the flames of your village, leaving your family and friends behind... At least, what remained of them.

You ran through the forest, hysterical. Tears stung your eyes, the branches whipping past you... You continued running blindly until... You hit something-... No, someone. You fell to the floor, hard. You temporarily knocked the air out of yourself, and as you saw what you ran into your heart skipped a beat.

An elf. The people who did this.
