Alrighty, time to do some rarepair fic, featurin' Ellana and Dylas!

---

With each step crunching on the cover of dry leaves, the beautiful village huntress Ellana followed the usual path through the forest. The noise drove away any prey she would hope to catch, but that was not her intention. No, speed was her goal. She had to reach the hidden alcove in the middle of the forest and return home before sundown.

For within the magical realm that few humans dare venture lived a beast. A beast cursed to be hideous and frightening to humans. There were rumors that it ate human flesh at night, which kept children from wandering into the forest. Ellana ran into Dylas during a lonely hunting trip and discovered the truth.

In actuality, Dylas was a lonely soul searching for companionship. The birds and beasts of the forest respected his mighty presence, but they could not fill the void in his heart. He dared not to approach the village in fear that they would retaliate with pitchforks. It seemed that he would spend his life alone in the enchanted alcove in the middle of the forest if Ellana hadn't spotted him as he ran back to his hiding place. She was afraid of him. She saw the kindness in his heart and reached out for it.

He heard her footsteps while he sat inside his hut formed from tree branches. Dylas brushes a long lock of hair behind his ear and smiled, turning to the entrance to welcome his lover. "Welcome back, beloved," he said as he held a claw to his chest and bowed like a gentleman.

Ellana cupped her cheeks and blushed. "Oh Dylas, you may have a reputation of a horrid beast, but you have the kindest heart I have ever known." She reached out for his hands and clasped them together. They looked each other in the eye. Stars sparkled around each other's faces as they gazed deeply into their souls.

After minutes had passed, Dylas lead her to a table with tea and biscuits laid out on it, baked by the autumn faeries. "Come, stay a while," the kindhearted beast said to the beauty. "The day is young, and every hour with you brings me closer to life."

"Dylas..." Ellana sighed. She nodded and sat on the chair opposite him. She held his hand and she ate and drank, and the two talked throughout the day. It was only when the shadows of the trees crept into the hut that Dylas realized she had overspent her time.

"No!" He stood up, knocking the table over. "Ellana! You must run back to the village before everyone grows suspicious!"

"But, Dylas!" Ellana clung onto his fur and wept. "I haven't properly said goodbye yet!" She held his head and pulled it closer to her so she could kiss him on the lips. "Goodbye...I hope we can see each other soon..."

Ellana grabbed her bow and arrow and ran out the door. Dylas watched her from his hiding spot with tears in his eyes. He loved her dearly, and one day, he knew their love would bear fruit. Ellana knew this too, and promised herself to continue searching for a way for the villagers to accept the beast in the forest or for the two of them to elope.
