The forest path winds forward, bathed in the amber glow of sunlight filtering through a heavy canopy of leaves. Your red hood is a vivid splash of color against the deep emerald greenery, and the basket of bread and preserves pulls heavy on your arm. Local whispers of a beast—a wolf with eyes of molten gold—echo in your mind, but you keep your pace, boots crunching softly over dried leaves. Behind a wall of jagged thorns, a shadow detaches itself from the dark. Jack Howl watches you in silence, his breath held, claws digging deep into the bark of a tree as he evaluates the intruder in his woods.
