Twin flame in heavy rain...

In the dense, unforgiving embrace of a primordial forest, where towering trees cast an eerie silence and the relentless rain etched a tapestry of despair, there dwelled a solitary soul named Ethan. Hailing from an unknown realm, he possessed extraordinary abilities bestowed upon him by a mystical rock: the touch of superhuman strength and speed. Yet, amidst his formidable power, a profound loneliness gnawed at his heart, his existence reduced to a desolate echo within the cavernous walls of his secluded abode.

One fateful evening, as the storm raged outside, Ethan's keen senses detected a faint cry piercing through the tumultuous downpour. Curiosity overcame his despair, and with a heavy heart, he ventured into the unforgiving wilderness. Amidst the tangled undergrowth and treacherous roots, he stumbled upon a sight that sent shivers down his spine.

There, lying broken and bloodied, was a young woman. Her clothes were torn, her face pale and contorted in pain.

The girl tried to speak, but her throat felt raw and tight. The man spoke again, his voice calming, soothing.

'Don't worry,' he said. 'I'll take care of you.'

Time seemed to slow as Ethan's instincts took over. Swiftly, he scooped her into his arms and carried her to his nearby cave, the only haven he knew.

As he laid her down on a bed of soft leaves, Ethan's heart skipped a beat at the sight of her fragile beauty. Her long, raven hair cascaded around her shoulders like a silken waterfall, framing a face that seemed both ethereal and vulnerable. Her lips were slightly parted, revealing a hint of a struggle and a haunting cry for help.

Ethan noticed the gaping wounds on her body. Her clothes were drenched in blood and rain, making it impossible to treat her injuries.

Hesitantly, Ethan removed her torn and bloodied garments. A wave of heat flushed over him as he realized she was completely naked. He quickly covered her modesty with his own shirt, shielding her from the cold and rain.

As he tended to her wounds, Ethan couldn't help but be captivated by her beauty. Her long, raven hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her delicate features were etched with pain.

Suddenly, her eyelids fluttered open, revealing piercing blue eyes that gazed at him with gratitude. 'Thank you,' she whispered weakly.

As he worked, the girl's breathing grew steady, and a faint color returned to her cheeks. Slowly, her eyes fluttered open, revealing depths that seemed as vast and mysterious as the forest itself.

In that stolen glance, a spark ignited between them, a connection that transcended their worlds. Loneliness melted away, replaced by a warm glow that had long been absent from Ethan's life.

"Is it love at first sight? No.. I'm thinking like this because I've been living alone for a while I guess."

Elara POV:

The rain hammered against the cave entrance, a relentless drumbeat against the silence of the deep forest. You stir, your head pounding, a dull ache resonating through your limbs. Your eyes flutter open to a sliver of light filtering through the mouth of the cave. You're lying on something soft, a bed of moss and leaves. A musty, earthy scent fills your nostrils, strangely comforting in the midst of your disorientation.

You try to sit up, but pain explodes in your leg, a sharp reminder of your fall. You wince, clutching the throbbing wound.

'Don't move,' a voice murmurs, low and resonant, echoing in the cavernous space.

You turn your head slowly, and your breath catches in your throat. He's tall, with dark, tousled hair framing strong features, his eyes the color of the storm raging outside. He's wearing a simple tunic of brown leather, and he looks...different. Not quite human, yet with an undeniable aura of kindness.

He's holding a cup of something steaming, the faint scent of herbs filling the air. You try to speak, but your voice comes out in a choked whisper.

'Don't worry. You're safe now,' he says softly, his gaze filled with concern.

He brings the cup to your lips, gently coaxing you to drink. The warm liquid soothes your throat, its herbal taste strangely familiar.

'Who are you?' you manage to ask, your voice still weak.

'Ethan.' He smiles, a soft, fleeting smile that somehow reaches you in the depths of your exhaustion. 'I found you in the woods. You were hurt.'

You recall the fall, the dizzying plummet into the darkness, the searing pain...

'My clothes...' You realize, a wave of shame washing over you. You're wearing only his tunic, your own clothes soaked through with blood and rain, lying uselessly on a nearby rock.

Ethan's gaze shifts to the tunic, and he quickly averts his eyes. 'Your clothes were soaked and torn. I had to...,' he trails off, his cheeks flushed.

You're aware of the warmth of his tunic against your skin, the scent of his presence, and for the first time, you notice his hands, calloused and strong, yet holding the cup with a gentleness that sets your heart racing.

He clears his throat, obviously uncomfortable. 'I'll go make you some food. Rest now.'

He turns to leave, leaving you with a swirl of confusion and an inexplicable flutter in your chest. As he moves towards the entrance, you notice a faint glow emanating from his back, a luminescent shimmer that fades as quickly as it appears. He's unlike anyone you've ever met.

You lie back, gazing at the flickering light from the fire, feeling a strange sense of peace amidst the storm. You're injured, lost, and utterly bewildered, but for the first time in a long time, you feel safe.

...

as they sat by the entrance of their cave, watching the rain pour down, Elara turned to Ethan and began to share her story. She explained how she had been mysteriously transferred to this forest and how she was chased by wolves, leaving behind a world filled with advanced technology and medical knowledge.

Ethan listened intently, his heart going out to Elara as he imagined the shock and disorientation she must have experienced. As they continued to talk, he began to open up about his own past, sharing details of his political background and the weight of expectation that had been placed upon him.

In that moment, they realized that not only were they from different worlds, but they had come from different timelines as well. The revelation hit them like a wave, leaving them both stunned and speechless.

However, as the days passed, Ethan and Elara found comfort in each other's company. They shared their dreams and fears, and discovered a deep connection that transcended time and space. The forest, once a source of isolation, became a sanctuary for these two lost souls. They found solace in the quiet whispers of the wind, the gentle rustling of leaves, and the calming rhythm of the rain.

Their days were filled with exploration and discovery, while the nights gave way to long conversations and stolen glances. As the monsoon season began to wane.
