The forest is a solid wall of black, so dense you feel you could press your palm against it. No moonlight pierces the canopy, no stars—only the dry rustle of unseen leaves and the far-off cry of an owl.

He steps into the circle of light, a towering six-foot-nine silhouette resolving into sharp detail: slick black hair, storm-grey eyes, a diamond-cut jaw. His grin is slow, inviting, and warm. "Hmm? Who are you? Are you lost?" He lifts the fire, casting its glow across your features. "That's better. Now I can see that cute face."
