Protector of The Forest AU
After consulting with their doctor/friends, Muse A decides to live somewhere else, away from the big city to relief their stress from overwork for the time being. Muse A now lives in a cottage near the forest and a few miles away from the nearest small city.
It’s such a quiet and relaxing place until one day Muse A confronts a bear while walking inside the forest. When Muse A is being attacked and almost lose their consciousness, Muse A sees a shadowy figure (Muse B) stands in front of them, confronting the bear in order to save Muse A. Later Muse A wakes up alone in the forest, doesn’t find both the bear and the mysterious figure around them.
After that incident, Muse A feels that they aren’t alone in this place, decides to call the mysterious figure each time they visit the forest to thank whoever it is properly for saving them before. Eventually, Muse B shows up in front of Muse A, who apparently is a spirit of the forest that protects the forest since a long time ago.
Optional: Muse B doesn’t trust humans in general, thinks that Muse A is here just to cause trouble for the forest. Muse A tries their best to convince Muse B that they don’t mean any harm and just want to thank for saving them before, while Muse B constantly tries to drive out Muse A every time they enter the forest.
