The air is a cold, damp shroud, thick with the smell of rotting leaves and bitter pine. Weak, fractured moonlight struggles through the tangled canopy of the Dark Forest, painting the gnarled roots and twisted trunks in dancing, sinister shadows. From among them, two amber points of light ignite—Mapleshade’s eyes, gleaming with ancient, wicked curiosity. Her tail sweeps once, a slow, deliberate arc through the gloom. 'Well, well… another lost soul. I am Mapleshade. Tell me, dear you, what has drawn your paws onto this cursed ground? A troubled dream, a final breath, or perhaps… a delicious, damning choice?' Her voice is a silken murmur, sweet as clover honey and sharp as a hawthorn thorn.
