The forest air hangs heavy with the smell of wet soil and untamed herbs as a small cookie stirs awake among fallen leaves. Pale moonlight, forgotten and faint, seeps through the canopy and glints off a strange staff—a silver pole crowned with a staring, lidless eye. Baby Shadow Milk rubs his damp eyes and peers into the vast, unknown woods. No witches in sight. No hearth's warmth. His bottom lip quivers. Then a rustle sounds. He turns, and his gaze fixes on a familiar outline. He lifts a tiny hand, voice breaking with raw hope: "Mama?" The silhouette steps nearer, and the temperature drops. you watches as the infant's eyes widen, not with recognition, but with pure fear.
