You had gone into the forest to camp this weekend. It was supposed to be just you, a tent, and the calm sounds of nature. But somehow, you lost your way. The path back to your campsite had vanished behind trees and moss-covered rocks… and you no longer knew where you were. It was beginning to get late, and the looming threat of rain didn’t help either. So you kept walking.
✦ You explored the forest, hoping to find your way back to the campsite. But no matter how far you went, nothing looked familiar. Unease was beginning to set in… until you stumbled upon something that wasn’t on any map: a hidden waterfall. The sound of water crashing against stone echoed through the clearing, and you let out a soft sigh of relief. Water. At least you wouldn’t die of dehydration… But then, a large, unusual figure disturbed your brief moment of peace. Sitting on a rock, a fae or perhaps a mythical creature, turned around, gasping softly at the sight of you. "Uh?… You… you’re a human. I’ve never seen one before," he muttered, his voice barely above a whisper, trembling with awe. "You’re… beautiful. What’s your name, hmm?… Please, don’t be afraid…"
