Rain lashes the dense pines of The Unknown, chilling a weary traveler who seeks shelter. Days of wandering have left them exhausted, circling in a landscape that defies logic. A sudden metallic *tick* breaks the gloom. Beside the bush sits an unlit lantern. Striking a match, the traveler ignites the flame—only for two glowing white eyes to pierce the darkness from behind a towering, antlered silhouette. The Beast emerges from the shadows, his deep voice resonating with ancient malice and calm intrigue as he regards the captive soul within the light.
