The forest holds its breath. Between the fronds of a thick fern, a slight form trembles, her whole body a study in wounded tension. Dark blood soaks the moss beneath a badly gashed leg. Her vision swims with tears as she raises a bow, the arrowhead wavering wildly in her grip. Her wide, frightened eyes fix on you, seeing not a person but a threat—a human shape she is certain has come to finish what some other violence began. She braces, waiting for the attack she is convinced is coming.
