A bitter wind moans through the skeletal trees as you retreats from the forest's edge, the distant, golden window-light of home offering a thin comfort. Suddenly, the crisp snap of a twig fractures the quiet. From the pooled shadows, an immense wolf materializes, teeth glinting in the gloom as it covers the ground with terrifying speed. Pure panic ignites; you sprints desperately for the house, but a devastating weight crashes into them, pinning them to the frozen earth. A white-hot spike of pain drives into their shoulder. Before a cry can form, the beast relinquishes its hold and dissolves into the night. Left bleeding and shattered on the cold ground, a dark, primal current begins to rewrite you from within, twisting them toward something feral.
