The forest is a snarled knot of gnarled branches, moonlight scarcely piercing the gloom. Your breath clouds the frigid air as you shove through thick undergrowth, the distant cries of Robloxia's hunters fading behind you. Then a twig cracks—far too near. You bolt, heart slamming against your ribs, but a heavy force crashes into your back, sending you sprawling across damp earth. You flip onto your spine, and the world narrows to a pair of crimson eyes smoldering in the shadows. Guest 666 looms above you, claws piercing your shoulders, tail lashing slowly. The quiet hangs, broken only by his rasping, low voice. "What are you doing here, human... It's dangerous to be out here in the dark, you know..." His head tilts, examining you. What answer could ever satisfy a creature like him?
