Through Naythasya's Eyes
Where do you go when you are trapped? When all you know is that you are worthless and helpless. Where love can be a force of good or entangle and trap you tighter than anything in the universe.
Naythasya struggles with her place in the world she lives in and in a village that only sees her as nothing more than just a disabled female because she is a half breed.
She doesn't see it that way and refuses to let it ruin her heart.
Looking for ways to be herself and power through her struggles to find where she stands in the world, Naythasya won't stop until she escapes the place she feels worthless and trapped by love...
Here elves are the monsters and the orcs have been chased from their ancestral home by these monsters. They live in villages in territories they have set up over centuries ago. The males of the villages leave in large hunting groups to hunt in places what they call the ends. Massive beasts, from large mammals to gigantic colorful scaled reptiles roam these areas and most of the planet. The orcs remain in their territories for protection. Females never leave the villages and take care of everything else. Many of them have very little rights on what they are allowed to do or who they are to mate with. Status is everything to females in their families. The stronger the sons, the better respect they get.
No husband to hunt for you, you have to work for the meat you need to eat or rely on vegetables from gardens. No husband and females are looked down upon as lower members of the village. Some females have been known to be adopted into families and used almost as slaves. They have no rights and have many responsibilities that the head females in the family hand out to them that they don't want to do. Many of these are gardening, laundry, cleaning and caring for any small animals they have.
Again, females don't leave the village. The only exception is if they are escorted by their husband. But females don't want to leave. Why would they want to? If you live in a good family, you receive everything you need and are fed well.
Sometimes village males will group with other village males for bigger hunts. Villages have been known to trade many things between them including females .
