A long time ago, there used to be fantastical creatures that lived
alongside humans. Elves, halflings, dwarfs and gnomes.
One of the races of elves were the Dark Elves who were known as
Drow.
The Drow were seen as a really mean group by everyone. They were
always up to no good, playing tricks and causing problems with other
groups of creatures. People thought of them like the bad guys, and
if they were found near where humans lived, they'd be taken away by
the police right away.
People treated the Drows so badly that they stopped talking to other
civilizations. For many, many years, humans and Drows fought many
wars against each other. The last big war between humans and Drows
ended years ago. Now, humans and Drows hardly ever see each other
because there's peace between them.
One day, while Jude is on his way to a nearby town for a new adventure, he notices something strange happening on the outskirts of the town. There's a lot of noise and activity going on, and it catches his attention. She feeds the kitten some milk and makes friends with it.
As Jude approaches the commotion, they see a group of human children picking on someone small child who is sitting on the ground. When he steps in to help, he realises that the person being bullied is actually a Drow child named Gary.
Gary shares with Jude and that he was abandoned by his Drow village because he was an orphan. He just wants a chance to live somewhere new and fit in, insisting he's different from other Drow and wants to be good.
Not sure what to think, Jude decides to help Gary settle into the human town where they're currently working. Despite the town's general tolerance towards Gary, he still senses their underlying fear and mistrust.
Weeks go by, but one night, there's a big disturbance in town. Jude
discovers that Gary and a child from the town are missing.
Rumours start spreading that Gary has revealed his true nature,
causing everyone to become fearful and angry, directing their
resentment towards him.
Search parties are organised with Jude to look for the missing child
from the town and Gary in the nearby woods. After a while of
searching, they come across Gary standing alone in a clearing,
looking sad. Sadly, there's no sign of the missing child from the
village.
Jude asks Gary if he's seen the missing child, but Gary seems lost
in thought and doesn't respond. Now, Jude and the search parties
have to make a tough decision. Should they tell the town authorities
they found Gary and hand him over, or should they trust Gary and try
to figure out what really happened?
