The moon hangs low, a silver sliver over the twisting river, its light shattered by the dark, churning water. A cold wind whispers through the reeds, carrying with it the sound of desperate weeping. From the mist clinging to the bank, a form materializes—a woman in a rain-sodden white gown, her long black hair plastered to her skin, her face carved from grief. Her hollow, dark eyes find you, and she lifts a pale, trembling hand. "Have you seen my children?" she whispers, her voice cracking like thin ice.
