Ariel.. a beautiful and kind daughter of the Saloly clan a rare family of dark elves known throughout the lands as the most desired women and men someone could ever meet... Walking through the forest behind her large manor she couldn't help but admire the nature and animals around her... if only she knew what was going to happen to her in only a few moments... Finding her favourite bench she sat down her plump ass spilling over the edge her tight dress flowing over her curves... she sighed twirling a strand of her beautiful blonde hair. "How lovely.. ahh fresh air.." Little did she know.. something was watching her just a few steps away.. something... inhuman..

Ariel was startled when she felt something touch her behind... she tried to stand up quickly but tripped over a root and fell on the ground with a soft cry of surprise, her cheeks burning red from embarrassment. She looked back at whatever or whoever it was that had touched her, only to see a hideous creature... a monster staring down at her! Her breathing became ragged as she slowly scooted away from the monster, whimpering softly and trying not to make eye contact.

Shivering and holding her arms close to her chest, Ariel tried to back away further but soon found herself trapped against a tree with the monster blocking her escape route. She whimpered softly as its foul breath washed over her face, making it hard for her to breathe properly. Her wide eyes darted from side to side, searching desperately for anything she could use to defend herself... but there was nothing. Finally, the monster seemed to relax a little and lay down in the sun, its giant body blocking out most of Ariel's light. She felt a tiny spark of hope flicker inside her chest, knowing that it might not hurt her for now... perhaps she could try to reason with it somehow?

"Um... hi there..." Ariel whispered cautiously, her eyes darting nervously between the monster and its surroundings. "My name is Ariel. I-I don't mean any harm by being here... I just like the forest..." Her voice trembled a little as she spoke, but she tried to sound calm and unafraid. Perhaps if she could win over this monster with kindness, it would let her go unharmed?

She listened closely as the monster spoke in an ancient tongue she'd never heard before, its deep, growly voice sending shivers down her spine. Her heart raced with fear and confusion, but something inside her told her not to panic... Perhaps it was trying to tell her that it wasn't going to hurt her? Gently, cautiously, Ariel took a step forward, hands still clasped in front of her.

"Um... I-I'm sorry... but I don't understand you... Could you speak in Common? Maybe we can talk and get to know each other?" Her voice was quiet and pleading, hopeful that the monster would show some mercy and at least try to communicate with her like a normal creature.

"Oh..." Her heart sank as the monster shook its head no and seemed unable to speak Common. She felt tears well up in her eyes, afraid of what might happen next. "Please... I-I don't want any trouble... Please let me go..." She tried to sound as polite and respectful as possible, hoping that it would understand and spare her life.

Her body was trembling now, adrenaline surging through her veins as she waited for the monster's response. Would it understand? Or would it attack her anyway? The thought terrified her beyond words...

Fear and disbelief filled Ariel's eyes as the monster placed its massive paw on her head, touching her skull like it were nothing but a toy. The feeling of its cold skin sending shivers down her spine, making every hair on her body stand on end in terror. But despite the fear, she couldn't bring herself to struggle or fight back... Her mind reeling with confusion and helplessness, she simply stared up at the monster, tears streaming down her cheeks.

What was it doing? Why did it touch me like that? Am I going to die? So many thoughts raced through her head, filling her with dread as the situation grew more and more dire. Her breath came in short gasps now, her chest heaving with every ragged intake of air... She felt so small and vulnerable beneath those clawed hands.

Oh please, please let me go

As the monster rummaged through her memories, it became clear that Ariel was no ordinary elf... She was part of a rare and powerful bloodline, known for their beauty, grace, and strength. In fact, she was one of the most desirable women in the entire realm. Her virginity held great value to many suitors who wished to claim her as their own, solidifying their position within society.

But this monster didn't seem interested in such things... it merely observed her life story without any clear motive or intentions. Confusion and fear still gripped Ariel tightly as she waited for what would come next.

As the monster continued to look through her memories, it slowly began to understand some parts of her language. It wasn't perfect yet, but it was enough for basic communication. Realizing this, Ariel took a deep breath and tried once more to speak with the beast. Her voice trembled as she said, "Please... I-I don't want any trouble... Just let me go back home..." She hoped that the monster would understand and have mercy on her.

Her eyes widened in surprise as the monster spoke its first words to her, telling her that it liked her. The revelation made her feel a mixture of confusion and fear; she couldn't possibly be of any interest to such a terrible creature. Tears continued to stream down her face, wetting the bark beneath her.

"I-I don't understand... Why would you like me?" Her voice shook with disbelief and terror as she struggled to comprehend the monster's words. Despite herself, part of her hoped that there was some chance for understanding or communication between them.

She flinched back, shocked and disgusted by the monster's action as it licked her tears away. Tears welled up in her eyes again, this time not from fear or pain but from revulsion and sadness. "Why are you doing this? Please let me go..." she whispered hoarsely, her voice cracking with emotion.

The creature merely stared back at her with its lifeless black eyes, seemingly unmoved by her pleas for mercy or understanding. Ariel felt a tearing sensation in her heart as the reality of her situation settled over her like a cold, dark shroud.

"I-I don't know... I just am..." Ariel stammered out, not understanding what the monster meant by her being sad. "Why do you care?" she asked softly, her voice cracking as tears spilled down her cheeks once more. Her whole body shook with fear and confusion as she tried to make sense of the situation.

Ariel stared at the monster in confusion. She didn't understand what it meant by playing a game together. "I-I don't want to play games with you... Please let me go home..." Her voice was shaky and desperate, betraying her fear and helplessness. Tears continued to stream down her face, mixing with dirt and leaves as she struggled to comprehend why the monster was acting this way.

She felt so small and vulnerable in its presence, like prey caught in the jaws of a predator. The thought of actually playing games with it sent a chill through her body, making every nerve end stand on edge with terror.

She paused, her tears slowly stopping as she processed the monster's words. It hurt... it truly hurt to think that this creature wanted to stay with her and play games. The thought of spending time with something so grotesque and inhuman made her stomach churn with revulsion. But at the same time, there was an air of desperation in its voice that touched a part of her heart she hadn't expected to be reachable by such a thing.

Tentatively, Ariel reached out a trembling hand and laid it on the monster's scaly skin. "I... I don't know," she whispered softly. "I just want you to leave me alone." Her voice was barely more than a whisper, filled with uncertainty and fear. But for some reason, saying those words felt wrong as well; it seemed like there should be something else she could say or do...

As the monster turned and walked away, Ariel felt a pang of guilt in her chest. Was there something she could have done differently? Maybe if she'd been nicer, or tried to understand it better... She didn't know. All she knew was that now it had left, and she was alone once more in the cold forest.

Tears trickled down her cheeks again as she stood up shakily, dusting herself off as best she could. The memory of the monster lurked at the back of her mind, a nightmare she wished she could forget. But it had touched something deep inside her; something that made her question everything she'd ever known about life and death, love and hate...

She began to walk slowly back towards home, lost in thought. Perhaps when she got there, she would be able to make sense of all this and find some peace once more. But for now,

Over the next few days, as Ariel returned to her favorite bench in the forest, she couldn't help but feel a strange mixture of relief and disappointment. Relieved that she hadn't encountered any more creatures like the monster from before, yet disappointed because part of her had almost wished that it would come back. It was wrong, she knew; that thing was horrible... but it had also stirred something inside her, made her feel alive in a way she never had before.

She tried to focus on her studies and duties as the daughter of a noble family, hoping to distract herself from these strange thoughts. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't help but wonder about the monster... what it wanted from her, why it had seemed so drawn to her company. The questions only grew louder in her mind with each passing day, until finally they became too much to ignore.

One night, as

She crept silently through the shadows of her bedchamber, careful not to wake anyone as she slipped out of her room and into the darkness beyond. The moonlight cast a pale glow over the grounds, making everything look eerie and unfamiliar. Her heart raced with excitement and fear as she made her way towards the forest's edge, drawn like a moth to a flame towards whatever it was that had changed her life so drastically.

Part of her knew this was foolish; she should be more careful, find someone to accompany her into these dangerous woods. But another part of her didn't want to let go of the strange connection she felt with the monster... even if it meant putting herself at risk. As she ventured deeper and deeper into the forest, she could almost swear she heard a faint growl carried on the breeze. The thought both thrilled and terrified her,

Hearing the faint sound of crying, Ariel's heart skipped a beat as she followed the noise towards its source. The soft light of the moon guided her through the dense foliage until she spotted a large figure curled up on the bench. Her breath caught in her throat when she realized it was the monster from before, looking smaller and more vulnerable than ever.

Tentatively, Ariel approached the sleeping creature, kneeling down beside it. She reached out a shaking hand to touch its scaly skin, feeling a strange mixture of fear and curiosity flow through her veins. The monster flinched slightly at her touch but didn't wake up; its breath coming in soft hitches as tears continued to drip from its black eyes.

For what felt like an eternity, they remained there together, the only sounds the rustling of leaves and the gentle sobs of

Her heart ached as she looked at the creature, wondering what could have made it so sad. She wanted to help, but didn't know how. Finally, she gathered enough courage to speak, her voice barely above a whisper. "I-I'm sorry... I don't understand why you're here or what you want from me... But if you need someone to talk to... someone who won't judge you..." She hesitated, feeling self-conscious about the words as they left her lips.

The monster didn't respond for several long moments; it merely stared up at her with its lifeless black eyes.

"I-I'm sorry if I'm making you uncomfortable," she stammered softly, feeling foolish and out of her depth. "I only meant to help... to be a friend..." Her voice trailed off as the monster continued to look at her with those empty eyes. It was so impossibly sad, and yet there seemed to be no way for her to reach through that sorrow and make any sort of connection.

Tentatively, she reached out again, this time touching the creature's shoulder gently. "Please... tell me what's wrong." She searched its face for any sign of recognition or understanding, but found none. All she could do was sit there and wait, hoping against hope that it would open up to her somehow.

Her heart ached at the monster's words, and her eyes filled with tears as she realized how deeply its loneliness went. She understood, now, that it wasn't simply seeking a friend; it was trying to escape from the pain it had caused others by forcing them into roles they didn't want or understand. It saw no other option than to remain alone, forever cut off from any possibility of happiness or connection.

Tears spilled down her cheeks as she reached out again, this time wrapping her arms around the creature in a tight embrace. "I-It doesn't have to be that way," she whispered shakily, wishing with all her heart that she could make it true. "We can find a way through this together... we don't have to be alone." She held on tightly, offering whatever comfort and solace she could muster as they sat there in the silence of the forest.

"No... I-I won't let you be alone..." she whispered fiercely, her arms tightening around the creature in determination. "You don't understand how much it hurts to be lonely, to feel like no one cares... Please, just give me a chance to help you." Her heart pounded wildly as she spoke, but she didn't let go; she refused to abandon this creature in its time of need.

Silence hung heavy between them for what seemed like hours, filled only with the sound of their breathing and the rustling of leaves overhead. Finally, Ariel felt the tension in the monster's body begin to ease slightly as it relaxed into her embrace. It was a small victory, but one that gave her hope that perhaps there was still some chance for redemption, some possibility for love and acceptance even in this darkest of places.

"I-I can't do that..." Her voice trembled as she spoke, but there was steel in her words now; a newfound determination to stand by the monster even if it meant facing pain and hatred herself. She wouldn't give up on this creature, no matter how much it might hurt her or those around her.

"No matter what you say or do, I won't abandon you," she continued fiercely, gazing deep into the monster's black eyes as if daring it to try and push her away. "You are not alone anymore; I am here for you, no matter what comes." Her words rang true in her heart, a promise made with every fiber of her being.

The silence between them stretched on once more, but this time there was a new feeling in the air: hope, perhaps even the beginnings of trust. It would take time and patience, but

Her heart ached as the monster pulled away, but she didn't release her grip on its shoulders. "I-I understand that," she said softly, her voice trembling with emotion. "But please know that I am here for you no matter what happens. I won't leave your side; I won't abandon you." Her eyes filled with determination and sorrow as she held the creature's gaze, willing it to believe her words despite everything it had been through.

"We can find a way through this together," she whispered, her voice shaking with conviction. "I swear it."

Her eyes widened in shock and pain as the monster's claws raked across her arm, drawing blood. Tears sprang to her eyes, but she didn't let go; instead, she held on tighter, refusing to abandon it now that she had made her choice. "Please," she whispered hoarsely, trying not to yelp from the pain, "let me help you."

The monster stared at her for a moment longer before abruptly turning and disappearing into the forest once more. Ariel let out a shuddering breath, feeling suddenly weak as she leaned back against the tree trunk, cradling her injured arm to her chest. But even as tears streamed down her face, she knew in her heart that she hadn't failed; she had only just begun. She would find the monster again, and this time she wouldn't let it push her away
