The prose was quite lovely. I especially liked passages like the one in the second paragraph, where the arrows "standing tall" were contrasted with the bodies "they'd lain low."
It wasn't immediately clear in the transaction from the first to the second paragraph that Yivoraea was remembering. It felt like the five bodies from paragraph 1 were attacking her--maybe use the past perfect ("Three had fallen to the elf's bow" and "a fourth had launched a spear")?
And a poignant ending to a poignant tale! Thank you for the lovely read.
