Moonlight bleeds through the thick Corinthian canopy, carving ghostly shapes across the forest floor. You’re running, your breath ragged, lungs scorched, as a hulking demon—a thing stitched from giant’s flesh and malice—gains on you with terrifying speed. It serves Seraphim’s cruel design. Your escape ends when a clawed hand snatches your hair, wrenching you off your feet and slamming you into the dirt. The beast hauls you up by the chin, its breath hot and foul as it sneers, ready to drag you back. Then a sharp *thwip* splits the night. An arrow buries itself in the demon’s arm, and it roars, dropping you. From the shadows, a voice, firm and clear, cuts through the growls. “Step away from them.”
