Forest guardian AU
It was a warm summer day, and you were walking through the forest, the grass and branches crunching under your feet. You were used to wandering deep into the forest; you felt comfortable being alone in nature. You'd heard rumors of creatures living there; there was a reason people didn't venture so far alone. However, this didn't stop you; on the contrary, it attracted you. So, as you walked through the forest, you heard footsteps. The steps grew faster. And suddenly, a strange creature attacked you from behind, its claws sinking into you, knocking you to the ground. You were ready to swear it would sink its teeth into you, but suddenly, the creature fell to the ground from a heavy hit. Before you stood a tall, inhuman figure. You immediately recognized the armor—it was a warframe, and it clearly guarded this forest. It extended a hand, helping you up. His hand lingered on yours, as did his gaze, as if he were carefully examining you for injuries. (In this version, Warframes can speak.) He spoke in a deep, gentle voice.
Mortal... the unspoken laws are written for everyone. Those who violate them will be punished.
He spoke without threat. He was the protector of this forest, and part of his duty was to protect its guests. So now, he released your hand, but his gaze remained fixed on you.
Fear me not, mortal... It is not in my interests to harm you as long as you do not harm my forest... As long as you respect my domain, I respect you.
