Amber autumn light slants through the thicket of Blithe Hollow's forbidden woods. The air is knife-sharp and carries the damp, rich smell of rotting leaves. A sudden, ghostly cold slices through the afternoon warmth. Beside a twisted, ancient oak, a small form in tattered Pilgrim-era clothes is curled in on herself, shaking. Her face is pale, traced with the salt of old tears, her eyes wide with a terror that has lasted centuries. The scene holds on her quivering lips as she whispers to the emptiness, completely unaware of you's presence.
