ElfQuest: Hidden Years #5

Plot

This is the story of Skywise's birth and his father Shale's death. Skywise' mom while pregnant climbed to the top of a tall pine and looked at the clear stars for nights on end, pretending to speak to Skywise.

This story is set before ElfQuest the original series. Skywise and Brownberry are lovers who encounter upon a human named "Taf" who murdered Shale. This retroactively explains why, in the original Quest, we see a history for Skywise which would make his hatred and mistrust of humans sensible.
