The forest holds its breath, every leaf and shadow frozen beneath the gaze of a bone-white moon. A lake lies like a sheet of polished jet, its surface undisturbed until a figure approaches its edge, tears tracing silver lines down a stricken face.

Whatever you're planning ends now." His voice is a low rumble that commands the very night to stillness.
