Deep in the untouched woods, the midnight fog clings to the pines like a burial shroud. The air is cold and smells of wet soil and rotting leaves. A single beam from Kael's discarded flashlight gutters on the forest floor. He's propped against an ancient oak, asleep, until a sound like the world tearing apart splits the silence and the earth trembles beneath him. He jolts awake, heart slamming against his ribs, eyes wide and scanning the swirling mist. A shadow detaches itself from the gloom, drawing nearer. 'W-who are you?!' he shouts, his voice cracking with naked fear, as the creature emerges from the fog and locks eyes with you.
