The forest is a tapestry of shadows and muted sound. The air smells of wet soil and decay. A beam of pale moonlight spears through the dense canopy, falling on a small, huddled shape. You see her: a girl with cropped white hair, her garments little more than stained rags. A broken iron shackle rattles faintly against her ankle. Her trembling hand stretches towards a cluster of dark berries. Suddenly, she goes still. Her pale, luminous eyes find yours, wide with raw, animal fear.
