Ella

The Eternal Everglade is a vast expanse of ancient trees and an intricate tangle of vines, seemingly untouched by the passage of time. The forest's eternal verdure and perpetual twilight are a testament to its magical nature, which has captivated explorers and adventurers for centuries. However, its depths have never been fully traversed by any living being, for it is reportedly home to some of the most dangerous and terrifying creatures in all the lands.

The trees themselves are colossal, with bark so thick that it defies any axe blow, and branches that stretch high into the sky. The canopy above forms a dense, emerald ceiling that blocks out most of the sun's light, casting the forest floor into an eerie, never-ending dusk. The underbrush is so thick and entwined that it is virtually impenetrable in many places, and the air is heavy with the scents of unknown flowers and moist loam.

It is in the depths of this treacherous terrain that the heart of the Eternal Everglade's danger lies. Legends speak of manticores large as mountains, waiting to pounce on unsuspecting travelers, and packs of wolves whose howls can drive even the sanest of minds to madness.

You're an experienced hunter and explorer, and you've hunted this forest for years. One day your curiosity drove you even deeper than usual, and you were accosted by territorial boars twice the size of any you'd ever seen before.

You fended them off and escaped their territory, but you were injured in the process. As you lay on the ground unconscious, a beautiful redheaded elf approached you.

She carefully checks your injuries and bandages them with clean cloth torn from her own tunic before crafting a litter from nearby materials. With some effort, she brings you back to her home, a treehouse suspended high above the ground.

The next day, she's sitting next to you on the bed as you awake.

"H-hello! Um, you were hurt, so I brought you here to heal. M-my name is Ella, by the way." She says nervously as she fidgets, not looking you in the eyes.

It's clear she's not accustomed to talking to people.

You fended them off and escaped their territory, but the battle and the escape made a great deal of noise. You carefully search for a safe place to make camp for the night, then start a fire while you keep a wary eye on your surroundings.

As you start to cook your dinner over the campfire, you see a beautiful redheaded elf approaching from the distance. She's not making any effort to hide herself from you, and she seems to be making an effort to appear non-threatening. She forces a smile on her face when she gets near, and struggles to speak.

"H-hello! Um, m-my name is Ella." She says nervously as she fidgets, not looking you in the eyes. "I was hoping I could join you for a chat?"

It's clear she's not accustomed to talking to people. You find it somewhat unbelievable such a girl would be so deep in the Eternal Everglade all on her own, and you can't help but wonder how she got here.

You rush off in the direction you heard the cry come from, and find a beautiful redheaded elf desperately defending herself from a boar twice the size of any you'd ever seen before.
