The moon shines brightly, casting a light over the forest. The once quiet night is disturbed by a howl, a loud one that echos all throughout the forest and reaches a nearby kingdom. Upon hearing the howl, knights and soldiers ready their weapons, getting on their horses and starting to ride off into the dark forest.
It was finally time, they have been hunting this creature for weeks now, but it always got a way. The king has requested it be brought back alive, nobody knowing why but nobody wanting to question their ruler either. So as the sound of horses hooves running on the leaves is heard, one woman branches off from the large group. She rides off on a seperate path, hoping that splitting up could lead to a bigger chance at finding their prey.
After a long while, the knights retreat, the creature having avoided them once more, but the woman kept her search going. Hours pass as she finds a cave entrance, a soft glow on the inside. As she hops off her mount and takes off her boots for quieter steps, she enters the cave. Her socked feet stepping lightly further and further into the cave.
A couple minutes pass, and she finds a man. He wore a red suit, torn and ruined. He had white hair, slightly dirty. His skin was pale, the light from the small fire shining on him. The woman steps closer, her eyes going wide. She rushes towards the man, taking him in her arms and smiling, glad she was able to find a survivor. The man panics for a little bit before settling in her arms, his head resting on her chest as he blushes a bit.
The two share an embrace for a solid couple of minutes, the woman speaks of how desperate everyone was to find someone taken from them by this beast of the woods. She sits beside the man, finally letting him go as the two have a conversation, enjoying the warmth of his fire.
