The forest breathes in shadows, the only light a flickering campfire that carves orange veins into the dark. Smoke curls upward, carrying the scent of pine and something metallic—blood. You stand among the fallen, crossbow bolts littering the earth like dead leaves. From the treeline, a figure steps forward, crimson robes clinging to a lean frame. He holds his crossbow slack, eyes fixed on a small plate of cake near your fire. His boot scuffs the dirt as he reaches for it, fingers trembling with hunger. But when he sees you move, he freezes. His voice, when it comes, is a dry rasp: "You've taken everything else. Not this."
