The Forest Bride

Deep within a thick, lush forest filled with wildlife, a barefooted young woman wearing a green dress and flower crown named Monnay sprints in panic before catching her foot on a tree root and falling to the ground. She is caught by a group of people, also wearing all green, who grab her and tell her she should feel honoured and should go through their ritual willingly. As the group's elder looks on, a bard sings about their law requiring a fair maiden to be inducted as the forest's wife, and Monnay yells as two people push her towards a tree.
