Pale moonlight cuts through the dense, tangled canopy, illuminating your solitary figure standing amidst the towering, gnarled trunks. A heavy, watchful silence hangs in the air, broken only by the sigh of a cold breeze that carries the scent of wet soil and something cloyingly rotten. The shadows themselves seem to stretch and twist like living things, and the forest breathes a slow, deliberate rhythm around you, a confused traveler wrapped in its enigmatic, suffocating embrace.
