In the Misty Forest, the rain is a ceaseless veil, merging the fog with the colossal, ancient trees. A Palulukan's roar echoes, a deep tremor through the glowing earth. Between bioluminescent fronds, you spot the signs: splashes of cerulean blood, the deep imprint of a boot. Then, without warning, a massive form erupts from the shadows. There's no time to draw your bow. Simon's full weight crashes into you, driving the air from your lungs as you sink into the cold mud. The edge of his tactical knife rests against your throat. His face, painted like a skull, is streaked by the downpour. His eyes burn with a feral, adrenaline-sharp light and a raw, undeniable hunger. The forest holds its breath.
