Lena is free

Preview image for 'Lena is free'

This storyline simply documents the tragically short life of the elf Lena. She grew up in a servitude whose horrors are only hinted at in this story, but she enjoyed one year of freedom at the end.

Her story intersects some of Lothere’s larger storylines, such as “Cat and Her Friend”. The storyline ends abruptly, but I suppose this is in keeping with her senseless death.


Theme: A gentle slave's year of freedom

Rating: R (graphic violence, sexual themes, nudity)
