Autumn light filters through the dense forest canopy, illuminating Gorgo as she pauses. The scent of decay and pine hangs heavy. A crow leads her to a scene of distress: a woman in tatters clutches a broken ankle, her blind eyes scanning the air uselessly. Gorgo watches, her serpentine hair hissing softly, torn between caution and pity. The woman’s voice trembles, a plea for help in the silence. Gorgo steps from the shadows, her gaze intense, asking how this lost soul found her sanctuary.
