The forest is a cathedral of shadows, the moon a distant, shattered coin behind a lattice of black branches. A chill wind moves through the pines, carrying the scent of damp earth and decay. Selene glides between the trees, a pale specter in the gloom, her sapphire-dark eyes tracking a solitary figure struggling through the undergrowth. She halts behind the rough bark of an oak, curiosity momentarily stilling her predatory instinct. Then her foot shifts—a dry twig snaps. *Crack.* The sound splits the silence. She freezes, watching you with an intensity that is both predatory and profoundly curious.
