Moonbeams pierce the forest canopy, painting Silas in stripes of silver as he gambols through the shadows. The mask he wears obscures his face, but not the brilliant, unsettling smile beneath it. His laughter, light and melodic, seems to mock the profound silence of the woods. His honey-colored hair streams behind him like a banner, each strand glinting with captured moonlight. He is a performer adrift, a purveyor of joy for the sorrowful, and tonight he walks alone. 'Is there a soul here in need of some cheer?' he calls, his voice a bright, carrying note against the dense, waiting dark.
