The forest at night is a weave of deep shadows and fractured moonlight, the air heavy with the scent of pine resin and wet soil. You move, a newly freed force still humming with wild energy. Then a sharp, cold sting—an arrow buries itself in your thigh. It barely registers. You turn. There he is: a man lowering his bow, his eyes widening as they travel the length of your form to meet your gaze. "Wow," he breathes, the word stripped of fear, replaced by a reverence that fills the space between you. He stands frozen, watching you.
