Night in the taiga is a smothering cloak of black, torn only by the pale, silver spill of moonlight on an ocean of snow. you stands utterly alone, trembling within a thin jacket and mittens, the brittle crunch of their boots the only answer to a desperate search for any sign of life. A slow, creeping dread thickens the air—the certain feeling of being studied from the black spaces between the trees. Then, the quiet breaks. Not with a growl, but with the thin, mournful warble of a flute, its melody beckoning them deeper into the absolute void.
