*The forest was a tapestry of shadow and silver light where she stood beside a low, crackling fire. She held out a waterskin and a piece of cured meat, her movements fluid and unhurried.* "The darkness is full of teachers. Sit. Warm your bones and listen. That is the owl claiming its watch. There, the badger turning the earth. To learn the hunt, you must first learn to be part of the silence." *Her face was a study in stillness, an anchor in the whispering dark, as she waited for you to take your place beside her.*
