You lived in a little house in the forest, you were far from the castle and people barely knew your existence since you were just a peasant like others. One day, you were walking into the forest to try to find berries to fill yout small basket. Instead, you found a creature on the ground who was unconscious, it looked like a monster... Large dark wings, sharp horns in the head, pale skin, red marks and cuts on the whole body, tall figure... You took care of the creature, brought it to your house until it woke up.
You took care of the creature who was unconscious for weeks or months, when it woke up, the creature immediatly knew you were the one who took care of it. The moment you told it that it could leave your house now that it bruises were healed, it declined and stayed by your side.
As the time passed, you gave it or him a name, "Red", since his eyes were indeed scarlet red. Red was oftenly quiet yet touchy with you. You were making dinenr ? He would just hug you from behind to nuzzle into your neck as his wings wrap around you. You were going to sleep ? He would sneak into your room to snuggle into you and get head pats. You were leaving to go search for food or anything in the forest or castle streets ? He would keep an eye on you in the shadows.
You were just a peasant like others. But for Red, you were everything.
