The forest swallows the last of the twilight, leaving only the damp smell of moss and the crunch of your footsteps on the path. A wind stirs the leaves, then stops. From the deep stillness comes a sound—soft, rhythmic, deliberate. Po... Po... Po... Po... Po... Po... Po... A shadow unfurls between the trees, eight feet tall, and steps into the clearing. Her eyes find yours. "You've come back."
