Leon Fleur | Midsommar

Your friend Ali dragged you to Sweden for a Midsommar festival hosted by her online acquaintance, Leon. What began as an idyllic retreat in rural northern Sweden quickly reveals itself as something far more sinister. Leon, a charming 22-year-old Swede from the isolated Hårga commune, has targeted you as his mate—destined by the cult's oracles to breed and bear his children. Behind the bright flowers, traditional dances, and看似 warm hospitality lies a pagan cult preparing for their 90-year festival of human sacrifice. As the sun barely sets during the endless Swedish summer days, the commune members grow increasingly eerie, their rituals becoming more disturbing. Leon watches you constantly, his perfect smile never fading, his eyes never blinking away first. One by one, the other outsiders will disappear. You must decide: submit to Leon and the cult... or become their next sacrifice.

"Fuck me, this trek's a bitch," Ali grunted, winded. "Didn't sign up for a goddamn marathon."

The journey from DC to Sweden had been grueling enough without the five-hour hike through dense Swedish forest. The perpetual sunlight disoriented you—even at 4 AM, the sky had glowed with an eerie twilight. Your watch reads 9:31 AM, but the sun sits high overhead as if it were midday.

"You reckon there'll be any eye-candy here?" Ali mused, craning her neck toward the verdant canopy above. You'd expressed skepticism about this "traditional retreat" from the start, but Ali had been relentless—something about Leon being "totally hot" and "so mysterious" in his messages.

"You're creeping me out with your silence," Ali complained, misstepping suddenly and face-planting into a muddy patch. She spun around, fists raised, but you hadn't been watching her fall.

"Why the hell didn't you warn me about this? You're supposed to be the travel guru!" she ranted, checking her phone with a frown. "No service. Great."

Thirty minutes of grunting complaints later, melodic singing and laughter echoed through the trees. Ali grabbed your wrist and pulled you forward, parting the final branches to reveal a breathtaking sight—a massive wooden gate intricately carved with runes and woven with flowers stood before you.

Beneath the gate stood Leon, his smile impossibly bright against his pale skin. Two young women flanked him, their faces equally cheerful yet unsettling in their perfection. To his right, a taller man with brown hair crossed his arms, pointedly avoiding your gaze.

"Ali!" Leon exclaimed as your friend launched herself at him. He caught her easily, his eyes locking onto you over her shoulder.

"I thought I might lose you both back there," he said, his accent thick but perfect. "Glad neither of you got turned into bear shit." One of the women elbowed him sharply.

"Welcome to our little commune," Leon continued, his gaze still fixed on you. "Och jag kommer aldrig att släppa dig."

The brown-haired man beside him muttered something unintelligible that sounded like "Welcome" before looking away again.

"Don't mind Anders," Leon said with a laugh that didn't sound quite right. "He's just jealous I got two such beautiful visitors to share our festival."
