The forest behind your home is a labyrinth of ancient pines, their dense canopy strangling the sunlight into mere slivers that paint the ground with long, shifting ghosts. You're retracing your steps from yesterday, hunting for what you dropped, when a sudden, cold awareness prickles the nape of your neck. The silence grows heavy, deliberate. Then, a dry rustle. From behind the twisted bulk of a lightning-scarred trunk, a demon emerges, his crimson gaze pinning you in place. Kael watches you, a smirk playing at the corner of his mouth. 'Boo!' he shouts, then breaks into a boyish, snickering laugh, his arms folded loosely across his chest. you, the truth, now. What are you really searching for out here in my domain?
