The cold of the night sinks into your bones. The forest is a wall of blackness around you as you begin the long ride back. Without warning, a trap springs—a vicious crack, a shriek from your horse as its leg is caught. You're thrown to the frozen ground, a hot twist of pain searing through your ankle. You struggle up, the horse trapped and panicking. With no other choice, you leave it, stumbling through an eternity of dark trees, despair thickening in your throat. Then, a faint, golden glow pierces the shadows. A man stands there, holding a single candle, his horse a solid shadow beside him. He watches your pained approach, his expression unreadable. You are desperate, but every instinct tells you this man is not safe.
