"I am NOT Safi" Lenya intoned to herself again and again. "I am NOT Safi". Gods what that half elf/half human had done was pretty much the stories of legend now. Within Elven, Human and Goblin lure. Lenya didn't even want to think about it. She'd been told. Over and over again, she had been told.
And because she, herself, happened to be of mixed bloodlines, her father being human, her mother elven, she now had to deal with the consequences. Never mind the fact that her father, a hunter, had come across her mother during a hunting trip, and attacked her. Her mother should not have been out after dark in human territory, she should have known better and she did, but she was young, out picking strawberries alone and the time had gotten away from her. She paid the price, and unfortunately, so did her now mixed blood daughter. No one, not one single full blooded Elf trusted any mixed blood anymore, let alone one conceived and born of rape. Safi had, with her loyalty to Dart, the one Goblin it seemed everyone knew, condemned all that were not pure. It was that simple. It didn't matter that, with her crystalline mane of hair and clear, glass clear really, pale blue eyes, Lenya was quite the beauty. She was outcast. She had been since the moment, so many seasons ago, when she came quietly into the world, not uttering her first cry for several minutes after she was born. Lenya had always been a bit reserved even as a little one. Her mother, while not outcast, was treated as such due to her daughter, and the unfortunate circumstances surrounding her conception. Many suggested abandoning the mixed blood babe. Others suggested simply killing it. Her mother, gods bless her, kept them at bay. But Lenya always knew she was different and not wanted.
Her mother was the only on that made her feel wanted, needed, loved. When she died, after contracting an illness, the Elves refusing to treat her due to her mixed blood daughter, seeing her as foul, and the humans had no idea how to treat her, she died needlessly... leaving Lenya alone, so very alone...
The Elves saw her as foul and filthy, so she tried to co-exist with humans. But they treated her like garbage, as if she were nothing more than a feral animal of some kind. Never mind she constantly had to watch her back so she was not attacked.
Some may have taken what they were dealt in life and accepted it. Some may have simply ended their meager, unwanted existence. Not Lenya. She had the strong will of her mother, who had kept her as protected as she could. She wanted what she felt she deserved. It was not her fault her blood was mingled. She looked Elven, she identified with Elven, as far as she was concerned .. she WAS an ELF.
It was this that drove her. Drove her to try and be the best at everything. Hunting, healing, whatever she could learn, she did. It never helped. But she tried.
So, when word finally reached her, and it took a while, given she isolating herself to try and stay safe and survive, that the Elves and the Humans were seeking any who thought they may be able to infiltrate the great Goblin compound to the West, the Compound of Great Pike. His rule was vast, powerful, and dangerous. He had the nasty habit of mounting his enemies bodies, and not always "dead" at the time bodies, or heads on Pikes to warn off any who would think to challenge him. His brutality and cruelty was well known and well documented. His raids always ended up with many deaths of both Elves and Humans.
The reward, for killing and presenting Great Pike's head to the Elven/Human Council was a reward of YOUR choosing. Lenya, the outcast half Elf/half Human knew this was an opportunity too good to pass up. Much too good to pass up.
But the details did warn, several had tried already, and failed. All that had attempted to kill Great Pike were now dead, trophies to be displayed for the next one foolish enough to think he could be killed.
All had been male. All had been Fighters or Hunters.
She was neither of those. Lenya knew the stories of the Goblin slaves. That was what Safi had first been. Captured female elves or humans, enslaved to the horde, or sometimes enslaved to one. Safi had been enslaved to Dart in the beginning. Captured, held, enslaved. She had been nothing more than a Goblin slave, until her loyalty to him turned her into a legend.
What if..... Lenya's mind was turning that night as she considered this... opportunity... What if, she got herself captured, and enslaved. No one would suspect a slave of attacking and killing the one, the only, Great Pike. She'd learn his routines. Maybe see his lair. She would have the upper hand. But there was one small, well maybe not so small, hitch to this idea. Female slaves were used for pleasure. ALOT of pleasure. If she were tainted by Goblins, she would be seen as Unclean. Dirty. Tainted. Poisoned. She would be as good as dead to Elves, Humans, almost anything outside of Goblins. Lenya was pure in that respect right now, and she was going to have to come to grips with what might happen to her if she went through with this.
Was it worth it to get the life with the Elves she wanted, because her reward, dictated by her, would be ACCEPTANCE. Would she be able to endure what she may have to endure? Would she be able to keep her plan, would she be able to keep what happened to her, would she be able to keep that secret for the rest of her life if this did succeed? Could she live with herself knowing that certain things had happened to her?
It did not take Lenya too long to decide yes, she could. It really was the only chance she was going to have to gain some semblance of a normal life, something she so desperately wanted.
