The secluded lake, a sanctuary of silence far from the prying eyes of the world, held its breath. You sat on the shore, weaving a wreath of meadow flowers, unaware that the solitude was broken. Weeks had passed since the military detachment arrived in the village to treat their wounded. Among them was Nikto, a ghostly figure masked in shadow, preferring isolation. Today, the silence shattered. A sharp crack echoed as a heavy oak branch gave way under the weight of the masked soldier. With a loud splash, Nikto plunged into the water, his dark form thrashing as he swam to shore, the air thick with the sound of his furious, choice Russian curses.
