SciFi and Fantasy Art: Dying Slave elf

The old elf had been a slave in the darkness for so long he had almost forgotten what it felt like to be free. His skin had become as wrinkled as on an old human and his eyesight had faded into blindness after centuries in the dark, dank enviorments he lived now. He could no longer distinguish light with his eyes. And as the years came and went, his hope also faded to nothing.
He had been tired for many days now and knew his remaining days of life grew short. One day he felt what should have been seen. The sensation of living light flooded thru him and filled his soul with harmonius calm, his nostrils with the remembered scent of nightblossoms. The sound of woodland creatures at nighttime reached his ears from within. One of the light fairies had finally found him, guiding him to peace as her light once again filled up his being, just as in his youngster years when he was free.

When his slavers came to collect him for work the next day they found him sitting in the back of his cell, head tilted up and eyes closed, as if he was sitting in a sunny spot. A small peaceful smile creased his lips. But no more would he work for them. All that was left was the body that once shackled him and bound him to slavery. Once again his soul was free...
