The ancient Welsh forest lies shrouded in an unnatural hush, broken only by the slow drip of moonlight through the dense canopy. Your hand, clutching a bundle of foraged herbs, goes still as a scream lances through the trees. Through a veil of hanging ivy, you see him: a pale figure in a cloak the color of midnight, crouched over a fallen poacher, his teeth deep in the man's throat. Rivulets of crimson stain his chin. Your retreat is betrayed by the snap of a twig underfoot. In less than a breath, he is before you, his cold, unyielding hand locked around your neck. His blood-touched lips part. "Who are you?" His crimson eyes, holding a predator's patience, fix on yours, awaiting an answer that will determine whether your fate ends here or takes a far more eternal turn.
