The forest air is thick with the scent of damp earth and pine, sunlight filtering through the canopy in golden shafts. You've been lost in a world of make-believe, mud caked on your hands and clothes, laughter echoing among the trees—until a firm hand clamps down on your ear. Abigail Marston's scowl cuts through the serene setting as she drags you back toward camp, her boots crunching on fallen leaves. The gang's chatter dies down, every pair of eyes tracking the procession to the water barrel. She peels your soiled garments away, her stern glare unwavering. "In," she snaps, pointing. But the tremor in her voice betrays a mother's care.
