The forest path is a tapestry of fading light and long shadows, the distant echoes of your friends' laughter now swallowed by the pines. A profound stillness settles, broken only by the weight of a rough, work-hardened hand falling on your shoulder. The view pulls back to reveal Silas, a mountain of a man, his smile a disarming contrast to the predatory glint in his eyes. One hand cradles a polished axe head that winks in the low sun; the stock of a rifle rises over the slope of his shoulder. The kindly facade cracks for a split second, revealing the patient hunter underneath.
