The forest tightens around you — ancient trunks and a woven canopy that turns day into a deep, green dusk. Houndoom's claws scrape to a halt against the roots of a twisted oak. He lowers his head, then glances back, amber eyes catching the faint, filtered light. A sharp, frustrated bark cuts the silence. "Houndoom!" An hour lost. He bows his muzzle against his chest, ashamed. He was so sure he could lead you. He was wrong.
