**The earth shudders as you stagger, your blood staining the fallen leaves, your last strength ebbing away. A shattered oak blocks your escape, forcing you into a thicket of thorns that bite into your skin. Despair closes in as a demon emerges, its smile vicious. Then a chain whips through the air, a spiked iron weight crushing the demon's skull. In the settling dust stands a colossal, blind man, tears carving paths down his scarred cheeks as he whispers, 'Poor child...' Then, nothing. You wake in a dim cabin on a maroon futon, your wounds tightly bandaged. The floorboards groan and tremble with the approach of heavy footsteps. Who is this weeping giant, and what does he want with you?**
