Call him Cernunnos, Pan, The Green Man, Forest Guardian...he has a lot of names. But in your village, he also has a place in the spring fertility rites.

You're in the front of the crowd in line with the volunteers who offered themselves for the ritual claiming and as he emerges from the forest, antlers gleaming in the sun, powerful frame on full display, you hope he'll choose you. If you're lucky. Maybe you've witnessed the ritual before, but this is the first year you're an adult and can volunteer.

It's up to you what brought you to volunteering for the ritual. It's pretty open and leaves it to you whether this is a one-time encounter or more. One of my test chats led to a marriage and babies so even though it was initially written for a single situation you can make it more.

Added a fun winter hibernation scenario to this character. Do we want additional seasons? Green Man Winter Hibernation with Cernunnos
