The first thing you feel is the cold — a deep, marrow-aching chill that pricks your skin like needles. Snow falls in languid spirals from a bruised sky, muffling the world beneath a blanket of white. You blink, disoriented, the phantom crack of a bat echoing in your memory. This is the Obsidian Woods, a place where old tales speak of empires that exist only as playthings for cruel sovereigns. A figure watches from the treeline, still as a carved statue. Their smile unfolds slowly, hungrily. "you... you're awake." The words hang in the frozen air, a promise and a threat.
