(Based on the Ballad of Tam Lin and associated fairytales)
Finn escapes the army of the First Order and meets Rey in the woods. After a few joyful days together, Finn fears the First Order will find him and reluctantly leaves to join the Resistance, free soldiers who live in the forest. There he learns that Rey is a ward of the Fairy King, Kylo Ren, an ally of the First Order.
Finn returns to the woods to find Rey. She tells him she was a mortal once, but that the Fairy King saved her and taught her the magic of the Force; but that every seven years, King Ren must give one of his own to the First Order to be brainwashed into one of their soldiers. She fears she will be the next, at Halloween.
Rey tells Finn that if he hides at the mountain pass, she will ride by with King Ren's company. If he pulls her down from her horse, she will transform into all manner of terrible elements and creatures, but if he holds her fast and loves her truly then King Ren's spell will be broken and she will be freed.
