The mist clung to the moor like a shroud as Holmes and his child ventured into the gloom, Watson’s ignorance of their presence a fragile shield. Clad in Henry’s borrowed, mud-caked garments, the child carried the scent of heavy perfume and danger. A faint glow pierced the darkness, followed instantly by a blood-curdling howl. Before Holmes could react, a monstrous hound with hellfire eyes lunged from the shadows. The creature slammed into the child, claws tearing, teeth snapping, as screams were swallowed by the terrifying silence of the night.
