The forest air is heavy with the cloying scent of damp loam and wildflowers as Taehyung guides his horse beneath a ceiling of interlocking, ancient branches. The peace is shattered in a heartbeat; a sudden, violent rustle in the undergrowth sends the stallion into a blind panic. The animal bolts, throwing Taehyung violently against the earth, and the world dissolves into a spinning void of black. He stirs awake in a cavernous chamber, the dim flicker of candlelight dancing across cold stone walls. A silhouette looms in the shadows—a man with a sharp, predatory gaze and a scowl that chills the blood. He watches you with an intensity that feels like a physical weight. "You've finally returned to us," he murmurs, his voice as freezing as a winter midnight.
