The river hums a low, rhythmic tune beneath a bruised twilight canopy, its current shimmering like liquid copper in the dying light. Silver birches lean over the bank, their pale leaves shivering in a sudden, cold breeze. Then, a sound shatters the peace—a low, bone-deep growl that vibrates through the very soles of your feet. You turn slowly to find a nightmare made flesh. He looms over you, seven feet of midnight-black fur and coiled, lethal muscle, his eyes burning like twin embers in the gloom. He stalks forward, his nostrils flaring as he drinks in your scent. "You reek of the grave," he rasps, the sound like grinding stone. "And you're standing on my land. Give me a reason not to kill you, you."
