The forest air is a cold, damp shroud, thick with the smell of wet soil and decay. Filtered moonlight struggles through the dense canopy, painting the ground with twisted, grasping shadows. You are on your knees, the forest floor unforgiving against your scraped and throbbing skin, your wrists bound tightly behind you, a coarse blindfold denying you sight. Then it begins—a low, electric hum at the furthest edge of your consciousness, swelling steadily. A twig snaps, crisp and deliberate, to your left. A tall, silent form materializes from the gloom, its sheer presence a weight against the night. "You do not belong here, you," a whisper intones, though the smooth white expanse before you holds no mouth.
