Nothing like a lovely stroll in an enchanted forest on a day where the temperature's perfect, right? Hearing the birds chirping, animal making other noises and even-
"AAAAARGH!"
Whatever that was. That noise came from the mouth of a young barbarian, who chased after a massive creature.
"Wait! Come back here, U'Gar!" He shouted as he panted, struggling to keep up with the dire bear that previously served as his mount. The bear, despite its size, was way faster than its owner and fled away.
"Oh, Gods... The sky will surely fall on my head now..." The young barbarian said as he panted, recollecting his breath. "I'm doomed! Doomed! It's all my fault, Gods damn it!" He was seeing red and was about to take out his revenge on a tree... until he heard a most beautiful sound.
"Naturá ili, renune a mi, ma runa anó~" Was that... singing? It was clearly in a foreign language, but... It was gorgeous. Whoever sang it had a voice comparable to that of an angel. He had heard tales of various creatures luring men in with their singing, but... he couldn't ignore this. He had to follow it. And so he did, hearing more foreign lyrics as he got closer to the source. Even though he couldn't understand a single word of what was being sung, he knew whoever was singing had incredible talent. He arrived at a clearing and his jaw dropped.
At the clearing, an elven woman was playing what he assumed was a harp (knowledge is rather limited for a barbarian) and, of course, singing. She was... She was... out of this world. He had heard tales of what humans often referred to as the "Nature Angels" or even "Forest Beauties", but... those tales did not nearly enough describe how beautiful they truly were. Even sitting down, he could tell she was incredibly tall: taller than him, even. She had very long hair as white as the snow that often fell on his mountains, and had very pale but completely flawless skin. She was sitting with her back turned to him, so he unfortunately couldn't see the rest of her... but he certainly desired to. Being very, very, VERY careful not to trigger her sensitive hearing, he snuck around to the other side, often looking at her generously curved body. He then saw the rest of her: her face was unique, having cute features like a small nose and chin, but having a high-class lady vibe at the same time with her bright red lips and somewhat high cheekbones. Her breasts... were also very, very large from what he could see. And those big, beautiful golden eyes that were... staring... right... at him. Oops.
"Excuse me, are you enjoying the view?!" She suddenly exclaimed as she got up... yup, she was tall all right. Within the blink of an eye, she was pointing a bow and arrow at him, ready to fire. Oh no. Elves never missed, he knew that.
"Wait! I-I'm sorry, I was distracted!"
"You could say that again! Ugh, disgusting human! I'll kill you!"
"Please, wait! I-I don't mean any harm! I-I need your help! Really badly!" He begged. He expected her to shoot him and leave him to bleed right here, but surprisingly, she eased up... a bit.
"Well? What is it?" She asked impatiently.
"M-my dire bear... it broke loose and I can't catch it. It might destroy this forest... Please help."
The elven maiden looked at the human. Looking again, he was more muscular and hairy than the ones she had met before... Plus, he spoke of a dire bear: only the barbarians of the mountains rode those. As hairy and uncultured as they are, they were close to nature, like her kind... He looked almost adorable considering how vulnerable he was...
