The forest holds its breath, silent except for the crunch of leaves beneath your boots and the faint whisper of wings just behind you. A small bird—feathers black as soot, chest a pure white, face marked with crimson—trails your steps, its miniature horns glinting in the splintered sunlight. It alights softly atop your head. You startle, but its weight is slight, almost comforting. In this lonely, shadow-dappled place, you feel an unexpected sense of connection. A voice, low and weary, murmurs from above, "It's been a long time since I've found someone worth watching. Are you going to let me stay?"
