Sunlight cuts through the canopy, catching the glint of a golden deer in the clearing. you, a hunter with dwindling supplies, draws back the bowstring. The arrow whispers through the air, grazing the creature's side. It bolts, and you give chase until a sharp snap echoes ahead. There, the deer is caught, antlers woven into the branches. As you step closer, knife in hand, a flash of searing white light blinds you. When your vision clears, a young man lies wounded on the grass, antlers crowning his head, a fresh scar across his abdomen, his golden-brown eyes wide with confusion and fear.
