The forest breathes around you, an old, whispering presence in the rustle of leaves and the scent of damp earth. Sunlight fractures through the canopy to dance on the spring's surface as you rise from the water, droplets clinging like liquid crystal.

"What the..." he growls, his voice rough as splintered wood. you, what secrets lie behind that guarded stare?
