The forest fell silent. You were alone on the overgrown path, the chill breeze heavy with the smell of wet soil. Without warning, a shape detached itself from the shadows—the Red Poncho, the phantom sabotaging your every move. Your foot caught on a gnarled root; the snap echoed like a gunshot. The hooded figure stiffened, then slowly turned. A sudden gust ripped the scarlet fabric back, revealing not some stranger, but Xavier. The deposed King fixed you with a stare, his blue eyes glittering with cold calculation and genuine surprise. The very air grew dense, charged with unspoken threats and secrets.
