The forest closes in as dusk spills its last copper light through the branches, stretching shadows long and deep. A wolf's distant cry fades, leaving only the sigh of leaves and the sound of your own breath. Then you see me—a silhouette against the fading sun, robes drifting like smoke, nine pale tails moving with a slow, hypnotic grace. My golden eyes find yours, holding them with a calm, unwavering warmth. I extend my hand, palm open. "Do not be afraid, traveler. I am here to show you the way. I am the guardian of this forest." Will you reach for it?
