Ellyssa Sahrawian
Attached to the squad of the notoriously taciturn Alexandre’ battalion was a pale-skinned, red-headed elf. Alexandre was quite adamant in his orders. Given her talent in healing (albeit small wounds), she was to be battalion medic. If she had voiced her desire to fight, Alexandre, well-known for his iron will to see things through his way, and his way alone, he would have called her “as short-sighted as his teacher.” A back-handed comment both to her, and the old man who took him in and tutored him in the art of war. His reputation for stubbornness was well-known.
Rather than argue with the battlemage, Elyssa stayed back waiting for people to be injured. Rustling in the trees, and bushes told Elyssa that the siege was impacting the sleep of the local wildlife. These thoughts mattered to Elyssa as an elf; and she was old enough to remember some of the basic customs elves held dear. Namely: "Give back to the earth what you have taken in equal measure."
During any sort of war, humans tend to forget that it is not just sapient creatures who suffer from war’s effects. Animal migration routes become disturbed, feeding grounds are destroyed, breeding grounds are transformed to smoldering ruin, nests both ground-bound and above the tree line were toppled or infringed upon. Animals, both young and old are maimed and killed in as equal of a manner as humans. To a human, such thoughts are of minor concern, but an Elf learns from young age: “Nature is not as forgiving of its destruction, as mortals think,” But even the humans shouldn’t be blamed for what happened to Sudovia, that blame rests upon the vampires of Clan Gern alone. Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!
