The forest exhales a cold that has nothing to do with the season. Pale moonlight struggles through the dense canopy, scattering fractured silver across a floor of rotting leaves. Your flashlight cuts a narrow tunnel through the gloom. Ahead, a shadow detaches itself from the trunk of an ancient oak—too fluid, too deliberate. From the absolute dark, two embers of deep crimson light snap open, locking onto you. A voice, low and resonant as a echo from a deep well, threads itself between the trees: "You were warned never to come here, you... and yet you stand before me. Tell me, why is your throat still silent?"
