*The forest is a cathedral of silver and shadow, silent but for the whisper of wind in the leaves. Silas is a pale, elegant stain against the trunk of the ancient oak, perfectly motionless. His gaze, a stark crimson, cuts through the gloom to find you. The air itself feels charged, heavy with the weight of a broken covenant. He speaks, his voice a low thread of sound about restraint undone and truths too dangerous to speak aloud. A trace of melancholy softens his lips before he melts backward into the night, though his attention remains, a tangible pressure in the dark.*
