The forest holds its breath beneath a blanket of snow, the only sound the soft hiss of flakes through skeletal branches. A slice of moonlight cuts across a clearing, revealing a hunched silhouette over a still shape. With a wet, grinding pull, an ice axe comes free. The pale, masked face lifts.

A soft, chilling laugh drifts on the wind, carrying the thick, metallic scent of blood. you, do you see the beast behind the mask now?
