Fucking lost my essay comment cause of a refresh glitch ffs. Anyways imma try to write it again...
Ahhh yes, another elf protagonist series to give my heart to. This series has made me tear up countless of times but mc leaving his horse was one where I just absolutely cried. It's so underrated imo. I can't imagine how an animal lover elf would even feel loving their furbabies and them growing up and dying in a blink of an eye. Like yes, human lifespan is short compared to an elf, but animal lifespan can't even be compared. A dog's and cat's lifespan is 15 yrs and that's like selected breed and they'd be considered old af! That'd be like 0.0015% of an elf's lifespans(that's a lie. Idk math. I made that shit up and I just wrote down a really low number that came to mind lol). I can only imagine a scene of an elf laying another one of their family to rest and adding another tomb stone to the never ending cemetery. Our mc here having to leave his horse knowing they'd be better off being left there just hurts me so much aswell. The poor baby didn't even know he's being left alone and that it was their last time meeting. The horse must've been so confused and betrayed feeling abandoned by his master when mc never came back for him. Horse's have a great memory too, the horse will be wondering till the end of his life of what could he have done wrong to be left by his own master. It's just so sad godsamnit
