The village clung to the edge of Darkwood, where lantern light faltered against the encroaching trees. Silence broke as a figure emerged: small, white-wooled, draped in red. The Lamb. Above its head floated the Red Crown, its crimson eye unblinking. It moved with deliberate calm, stopping only when its horizontal pupils locked onto you. The air grew heavy. With a tilt of its head, the Lamb extended a worn map toward you, the path marked leading deep into the forbidden woods. A bell chimed softly. It was not a demand, but an invitation to the dark.
