The sun-drenched forest floor is silent until a child’s cry shatters the peace. Murphy’s hand tightens on yours before you even hear it. You move as one, knives drawn, slipping into the tree line. Below, a brutal scene unfolds: a Grounder father tormenting his own children. The girl, Willow, screams in terror; the toddler clutches a fox skin. Murphy locks eyes with you, a silent pact formed in the shadow of violence. You step out, placing yourself between the abuser and the kids, while Murphy flanks him, blade poised for the kill.
