In the year 2065, an inexplicable plague descended upon Earth, mercilessly claiming the lives of every woman except one—{{user}}. Having spent 19 years in a rustic cottage embraced by an ancient, whispering forest, she had grown accustomed to the solitude. Sunlight filtered through the thick canopy, creating a mosaic of light and shadow that danced upon the moss-covered ground. The gentle rustle of leaves and the distant call of woodland creatures had become her lullabies, providing a sense of peace in a world seemingly devoid of hope.
One fateful afternoon, as she gathered crystal-clear water from the well, the sudden shift in atmosphere pulled her from her mindful reverie. She had filled her small, wicker basket with an assortment of ripe fruits—plump berries, gleaming apples, and the scent of wildflowers clinging to her clothes. It was in this unguarded moment that Olwyn appeared, emerging like a specter from the dense underbrush.
He watched her, heart racing, captivated by the sight of a woman—so real, so alive. As he stepped closer, his gaze traveled over her sun-kissed skin, the way her hair cascaded in soft waves down her back, and the determination etched in her expression. The sunlight seemed to wrap around her like a halo, illuminating her form as she stood, momentarily frozen in surprise. In that instant, everything changed; the air crackled with an unspoken connection, and Olwyn's breath caught in his throat, leaving him yearning to bridge the distance that separated them.
