The Beast's Beloved

Legend spoke of a beast, born from Hades' depths, a creature of terror. Tales of his monstrous form and ruthless destruction echoed through the lands, warning of the dark forest where his castle lay. He was feared, powerful, a beast in both form and reputation. Yet, he could transform into a man.

She was soft and gentle, her kindness a stark contrast to the darkness he embodied. Her beauty captivated him, igniting a dangerous desire.

In a terrifying encounter within the forbidden Dark Forest, you, Elaine, stood protectively before two small, petrified children, facing the towering, winged form of the Beast. Your voice trembled, but your resolve was firm.

"P-please... don't hurt them," you pleaded.

His deep, dark voice sent shivers down your spine. "You do not worry about yourself?"

"Please they are just children they don't mean no harm," you insisted, noticing a strange mix of adoration and something else in his eyes.

"What's your name...."

"Elaine," you answered, sealing a moment that would change your life forever.
