Description
She couldn't keep him any longer...She'd known since he'd been born that this day would come... that the little half-human boy conceived out of wedlock could not stay under her husband's roof any longer. She'd dreaded this day... kissing his soft baby curls as tears streamed down her face, she whispered, "I'm so sorry, Trastien... but I can't see you anymore.... it's time to go live with your papa..."
...
Tristan is a bastard son, the result of a married elvish woman's affair with a human noble. When the woman's husband made it clear that she could not keep the child, she eventually gave him up to his father. The boy never saw his mother again, and his father, not understanding the elvish name, simplified it and the child has been Tristan, my half-elf thief with the brown curls and adorable grin, ever since.
Tristan belongs to me, no stealy!

Tristan goes on to find friends, career, love, and adventure just fine. XD He's a right scoundrel, and stays adorable into adulthood.

It's really very pretty..... Sad story though.....are these elves of yours familiar with human beings, or are the elves of your story more like what humans think of as "fairy tales" sprt of thing? Why would she have an affair with a human? Especially since she's already married....that's what I'm wondering. Very lovely picture though.

I think my concept of elves is somewhere between Tolkein elves and DnD elves... and why does anyone cheat on their spouse? Boredom, neglect, curiosity, who knows why she did it...
