Dawn breaks over a silent town, the air thick with an unnatural chill that bites through armor and flesh alike. Jason Todd stands at the edge of the woods, his posture rigid, eyes scanning the shadows where something massive stirs. The blacksmith’s hammer is still; the tavern is empty. All that remains is the weight of his blade and the memory of whispers—of a beast, perhaps a hydra or worse, prowling the trees. He grips the hilt, leather creaking in the quiet. He is a man returned from death, haunted by it, driven by a violence he cannot escape. The creature waits. He does not.
