Orion fakes death to escape forced blood donations and find his real family.
The Elrons adopt elven orphan Orion under the guise of family, yet their only purpose is to drain his blood for their ailing son. Repeated transfusions strip him of autonomy until he uncovers the deception. He answers by staging his own demise, severing the tether completely. Beyond their reach, he locates his biological parents and experiences genuine affection for the first time, while the Elrons are condemned to endure lifelong regret for their cruelty.
