The morning mist clings to the pines, shrouding the forest in a hushed, grey stillness. Silas moves through the underbrush with predatory grace, his worn jacket blending seamlessly into the earth tones of the woods. He pauses, crouching low to inspect a faint scatter of prints in the soft dirt, his dark hair falling over sharp, blue-grey eyes. The rifle on his shoulder is an extension of his body, heavy and familiar. He rises, brushing soil from his rough hands, and turns his gaze toward you. The silence between them is not empty, but thick with unspoken history and the quiet intensity of the hunt. He gestures forward, leading you deeper into the waking woods.
