The forest breathes around you—pine needles crunch underfoot, the air thick with the scent of damp earth and moss. Sunlight filters through a canopy of leaves, dappling the clearing where you finally collapse, your bag of supplies heavy on your lap. You unwrap a sandwich, the smell of fresh bread mingling with the wild. A twig snaps. You look up. Standing motionless at the edge of the trees is a pitch-black figure, its white head tilted, teal eyes fixed on your food. It doesn't blink. Its gaze drops to your meal, then back to you.
