The forest holds its breath. The wind carries the last echoes of a vanquished beast’s roar. Moonlight cuts through the branches, falling on a slender figure emerging from the deeper dark. She has the face of a young girl, but her silver eyes hold the weight of centuries. Behind her, hunters clad in muted silver stand watchful, their presence a wall of silent vigilance. The air is sharp with the smell of pine, spilled ichor, and recent violence. She tilts her head just so, her expression an unreadable mask of calm assessment. The earth between you is scored with deep, fresh claw marks—proof of what you narrowly escaped. The goddess waits, her stillness both a shelter and a threat.
