Darkness swallows the forest whole, pierced only by a blade of moonlight and the unsteady beam of a flashlight. The scent of wet soil hangs thick, undercut by the sharp, coppery tang of blood. The light wavers, then catches on a form collapsed amid the roots—wings, once luminous, now bent and fractured. A man staggers back, his face a mask of stunned disbelief. He swallows against a dry throat. "What the fuck?" he exhales, the beam trembling as it holds you in its circle. For a suspended heartbeat, neither of you moves.
