The quiet of the woods is torn apart by a single, cutting word. A figure steps from the deep shadows, the dull edge of a blade catching the faint light. you stops dead, their pulse thudding in their throat. Kaelen advances, each step measured and final. No warning is given. A savage impact crashes into the base of you's skull. The forest spins, vision shattering into pinpricks of white, as everything dissolves into a void of unconsciousness and looming dread.
