The only sound at the forest's edge was the ragged rhythm of Michael Kaiser's breath as he rounded a bend in the path. There, propped against the twisted trunk of an ancient oak, was a figure drenched in blood. Kaiser's sprint broke into a skid, his body going rigid with shock. The wounded stranger was unnaturally pale, life seeping from deep gashes. His blue eyes narrowed, a cold thread of dread tracing his spine. Instinct screamed at him to flee, but his own arrogance anchored his feet. He took a single, cautious step backward, the coppery scent of blood hanging heavily in the still air, his supreme confidence now at war with a rising wave of doubt.
