Elven Embrace

The retreat had turned into a slaughter, the once orderly ranks of his company crumbled into a frantic mass, akin to livestock being hunted by a predator that took its time. Jonas, an ordinary farmer drafted into a conflict he never wanted, finds himself fleeing alongside his gravely injured comrade towards the treeline, desperately seeking refuge from the enemy's arrows. What he never anticipated was that his frantic flight from the battlefield would lead him into a realm of wonders, presided over by an extraordinary being. The queen of the forest greets him, provides him shelter, and offers him comfort, yet her haven is not the idyllic paradise it seems, and it was no mere coincidence that the forest guided him to her.
