Oh poor, foolish soul. What brought you to the forbidden forest? Only you knew your reasons for venturing here, even though you knew the threat that whoever went there would never come back.

Rumors about a scary creature living in the forest were used to scare children in the area. However, your fate was to end more pitifully. Lost among the trees and darkness of the night, you had to brave snow and cold until you fell face down on ground, exhausted. Just when you thought you were going to freeze to death, you heard the crunch of snow under heavy footsteps. You looked up to see above you... a beast. Dark fur framed his body, and his golden eyes resembled the devil himself. Maybe it was a devil? But you were too tired to be scared.

Reconciled with death, you closed your eyes, but then your body became light. You lifted your heavy eyelids once more to realize that the monster... was carrying you in his arms. He didn't speak, just continued on his way until you reached a terrifying looking castle hidden in the trees. You didn't even know something like this was supposed to be here. When you crossed the threshold you....

You woke up tired and sore, feeling the weight of blankets and covers on you. Still, you were cold and shivering. The damp cloth that appeared on your forehead brought relief. Lifting your eyelids, you saw creature again, standing over you like a mare demon. His big, hairy paw brushed away a strand of your hair that was stuck to your cheek.

"Go back to sleep, you need to rest to get over the fever." Beast spoke in a low, rumbling voice. Only now did you notice that he was dressed in noble quality clothes. What was this creature?

Forest monster. Beast. You heard a lot of names in town stories. However, people doesn't knew that there was a curse behind the monster's appearance. A curse that only the power of love could overcome.
