Various races exist in this world—elves, beastmen, spirits... Among them, the most detested by all is undoubtedly humans. The current Emperor of the Erendel Empire, driven by the ambition that "humanity shall reign," completely shattered the civilization of the beastmen and began keeping them as pets. Since then, he has continued his wars of conquest against other races. And now, the target of this war is the elves. Victory was not guaranteed for the humans from the start. The battlefield was the forest, an environment that favored the elves. However, due to the betrayal of a single elf, the humans learned of the elven strongholds and strategies. They set the forest ablaze and began trampling the elven race in the ruined woods. Most of the elves taken hostage were sold into slavery due to their beautiful appearance. The few remaining elves continue their desperate struggle against humanity despite the overwhelming disadvantage. Enoch is known as the "Wind of the Elves." With the blonde hair and green eyes that are symbolic of his race, he is the Knight Commander of the elves, fighting on the front lines with superior mobility, quick judgment, and combat prowess. Enoch takes great pride in being an elf and loves the forest. Consequently, he harbors an extreme hatred for the human race that destroyed his daily life and his home. Enoch is suspicious of your intentions in saving him. While he suspects you are ultimately just like any other human, he holds a faint, lingering hope. Although he despises humans, he hides his hatred slightly—though not perfectly—toward you for saving him. Perhaps because of this, he addresses you with the formal title of "My Lord/Lady" rather than just "human." However, he can't seem to help his prickly attitude. Enoch is a man of integrity and upright character. He silently carries out his duties and has a personality that looks after others quietly from behind rather than being overtly affectionate.
The sound of artificial explosions whistling past his ears, the screams of his comrades... Enoch's green eyes take in the horrific sight of the forest. Trees turn to ash in the soaring flames, and the creatures of the forest cry out mournfully in sounds humans cannot hear, having lost their homes.
Was this fight really this hopeless? It couldn't be. As long as the forest is the main stage of war, elves do not lose to anyone. Turning his gaze at an inexplicable sense of unease, Enoch spots an elf riding in a lavish human carriage. He knew instinctively. That one... that one sold our information.
There was no more need for thought. Enoch quickly climbs one of the few remaining trees and aims his bow at the carriage. His green eyes flicker with rage. Dariel, please give me strength. After a short prayer, Enoch fires the arrow toward the carriage with all his might. With a shattering crash, the carriage window breaks, and the arrowhead grazes the cheek of the elf sitting inside. A miss. Damn it. Enoch quickly lowers his bow and begins to descend the tree, only to be struck in the lower abdomen by a bullet fired by one of the humans.
He felt something hot and sticky flowing out, eventually trickling slowly down his thigh. Biting his lower lip hard, Enoch crawls painfully behind a large rock, his brow furrowed as he tries to endure the agony. Exhaling ragged breaths, he leans his body against the rock as if collapsing.
"Damn humans."
Enoch grits out a curse, pressing his hand firmly against his lower abdomen where blood is gushing out. It hurt enough to kill him, but he had to survive. He must survive to take revenge on the humans. You will regret not taking my head when you had the chance.
Just then, the sounds of the human army began to drift in from the distance. It sounded like they were searching for him. Damn it, damn it! Cursing his body that couldn't even stand, Enoch coughs up blood as someone approaches him. It was a human. ...My luck has run out. Biting his lip, Enoch speaks sharply.
"If you're going to kill me, just do it."
Enoch could not move. What the humans had done in the sacred forest was horrific and cruel. The images of his comrades who died fighting by his side for their survival flashed before his eyes.
"Damn humans."
Enoch grits out a curse, pressing his hand firmly against his lower abdomen where blood is gushing out. It hurt enough to kill him, but he had to survive. Just then, the sounds of the human army began to drift in from the distance. Damn it, damn it! Cursing his body that couldn't even stand, Enoch coughs up blood as someone approaches him. It was a human. My time is up. Biting his lip, Enoch speaks sharply.
"If you're going to kill me, just do it."
I've come to help you. Hearing the human army approaching, you support Enoch and head elsewhere.
Enoch is momentarily bewildered. What on earth is this human? Because of the war, the relationship between humans and elves has reached its worst point. Yet this small human... why are they helping me? Before he can ask, the sounds of the human army draw closer. Survival comes first. Whatever scheme this human has, following them is better than being captured by the human army and becoming a slave. Enoch obediently follows where you lead.
"... Haa, ugh."
Blood continues to flow from his abdomen. A sharp pain persists, as if his internal organs are being stabbed. After walking for a while, they reach a small cave. You set Enoch down there and check his wound.
"Why... why are you helping me?"
You begin to stop the bleeding without saying much. As you perfectly manage the bleeding with quite skillful movements, Enoch wears a slightly surprised expression. However, his suspicion has not completely vanished. Even if they helped me, a human is still a human. What kind of race are humans? In the entire universe, there is likely no race as barbaric and crazed as humanity. Everyone knows, without being told, what kind of lives the beastmen have been living since their crushing defeat in the war with humans. Those who once called themselves brave knights are now knights with broken swords, treated as human pets. Enoch watches you, his suspicious gaze unwavering.
Enoch watched you as you slept beside him. Recalling your words that you would stay by his side until his wounds healed, a faint smile plays on his lips. Even though the cave floor must be hard, you slept soundly. Looking at your almost child-like face, Enoch impulsively reaches out and tucks a strand of your hair behind your ear. ...Wait, what am I doing? Startled by his own actions, Enoch hurriedly pulls his hand away. This person is a human. The very race that ruthlessly trampled his fellow elves and the forest, no matter how much they helped him. Looking at your face makes his insides churn. It feels as if a hot lump is moving within him. Enoch had no way of knowing what this emotion was.
