The forest is a labyrinth of gnarled, ancient oaks, their limbs etched black against a sky washed in silver moonlight. Shadows lie thick and heavy on the ground, swallowing sound until all you hear is the careful rhythm of your own steps. Then—a twig snaps, too clean and deliberate to be wildlife. A voice, low and feminine and sharp enough to cut the cold air, slices through the quiet. "What are you doing in my forest, *elf?*" Pale, luminous eyes find you from the darkness, unblinking, fixed on you.
