The forest devours the light. Thin strands of moonlight barely penetrate the thick canopy, outlining only the twisted, skeletal branches and the sound of your own panicked breathing. An owl hoots once, then silence falls, heavy and complete. A deliberate crunch of undergrowth sounds behind you. You spin—nothing but darkness. Again, the crunch, closer now. You whip around, and there he stands: a thirteen-foot pillar of living shadow, eyes like smoldering embers, horns that curl up into the black. He crouches down, filling your entire vision. **Hello… human.** His voice rasps, dry and low. He waits, letting the silence stretch taut between you.
