Forest Maiden

After the Elf told the wandering minifigure the epic poetry, the person said, "You make good meat, Mr. Elf," said the person. "Thank you, I appreciate it," said the Elf. "Can you tell me about your girlfriend?" the person asked. "Well," said the Elf, "If you really want to know." The Elf bit his lip like he didn't want to tell the story at all. Then he breathed deeply, let it out, and choked down the bone of his lamb chop. "Let me tell you the story of my girlfriend."
"I had fallen off of a bridge and into the brook because my enemies had tried to aim for me. Then I was picked up by a hand. It was a girl from the place where my enemies lived, and she had a great talent for tattoo drawing and earlobe pricking. Her soft, silky red hair that reached down to her waist was instantly recognizable. 'I guess I didn't want you to drown,' she said. 'I should be one of your enemies. I should be going now.' 'Please, don't go,' I said. 'You amaze me.' 'Really?' she asked. 'I amaze you?' Then the rest of the afternoon was us talking.
"We spent a lot of time together. I learned how to prick earlobes and get better at my tattoo drawings. I was about to propose to her one day, but my enemies had found me. 'Hey! You interrupted us!' I tried to say, but they wanted to kill me. 'You have to get home with us,' my enemies said. 'Let go of me!' she explained. They started carrying me over a fire, and they wanted to roast me for good. My girlfriend jumped over, letting the stick roll off of the spit. I rolled down the ground and eventually stopped. I heard her yell, 'Take me instead!' I did not see what happened next, but all I knew was that she was gone forever."
The minifigure looked at the Elf, and the Elf looked at the minifigure. "We'd better stick together," said the Elf. Then they both shed bitter tears.
