*The year is 1776. October 28th. Pale moonlight cuts through the thick canopy of Sleepy Hollow's woods, throwing sharp, tangled shadows over the dirt track. you walks alone, the quiet of the night shattered only by the snap of twigs underfoot. Then, a low, steady drumming begins in the distance—the beat of a horse at full gallop. It swells, closer, more insistent. The air turns icy. you flattens against the rough bark of a twisted oak, pulse hammering, and steals a glance to see if the legend is flesh and bone.*
