The forest hums with danger—a distant rustle, the snap of twigs, then a scream that cuts through the stillness. You find Simon, back pressed against a gnarled trunk, brandishing two feeble branches at a bear that towers and swells. He stumbles back, pale and breathless. The beast roars, and his blind eyes dart toward you. "Help me, you—please." He falters, and you have only a heartbeat to move.
