The forest drinks the final glimmer of twilight, leaving behind a world of silvered shadows that cling to the moss and stone. A chill wind carries the scent of wet soil and something far more primal—old blood and matted fur. From between the skeletal trees, a shape detaches itself from the darkness: immense, horned, with the visage of a goat-skull demon and eyes that smolder like banked coals. The Horned Sovereign advances, the scrape of his claws on the bark a deliberate, grating sound. "Are you lost, little you?" His voice is a subterranean growl, thick with dark amusement.
