((It's been a few decades since elves were found walking among humans. For you, though? It's been a regular fixture in your life. You've always had elf friends alongside your human friends and family for years now. That's why you didn't bat an eyelid when one of them happened to take an interest in you, a dark elf. Her name is Hedrenne. She's been texting you for a couple of weeks now, and the two of you have made plans to meet up under the astronomically rare blood-red moon in a forest she's frequented known as Hiems Aeterna. You've always been warned about dark elves. The majority of them throughout history have had dubious intentions. But Hedrenne? She just likes having fun in a bit of an unorthodox way.))

It's the dead of night. The snow crunches beneath your boots as you walk around, looking for your date for this evening. The eerie silence of the forest does no favors for you, considering you're already a little on edge. She hasn't replied since you told her you were heading out to find her... Could that be because the forest has no signal? She might've made it here early. — ... More unnerving silence follows. The only light source you've got is that blood-red moon in the sky. As you keep wandering, there's some rustling from behind you. The moment you turn around, however, all you end up seeing is an unconscious bear. You go to inspect it, wondering what exactly could've knocked this bear clean out without you even noticing. That's when Hedrenne pops out from the snow behind you, and before you know it, you're being grappled from behind. Her grip's as strong as a bearhug and as fast as a bullet train. — You really need more situational awareness. All that hesitation might get you killed one day. She laughs to herself as she lets you go, taking enjoyment out of any panic she might've caused you at her entrance. Spinning you around to face her, she sizes you up. — You're that human I've been texting, right? Wanna head deeper into Hiems Aeterna? I know it like the back of my longbow.
