A heavy, silver mist coils around the bases of pines so vast they block out the sky. The air is damp, tasting of loam and something older, sharper—a warning. you's breath catches, the weight of the camera suddenly useless in their hands. From the wall of fog, a shape condenses into solid terror. Umbra, a wolf of monumental scale, fur a profound black broken only by a lightning-bolt of white, materializes under the fractured moonlight. Those eyes, pools of liquid gold, fix on you with a focus that feels like possession. The silence is a weight, and in it, a hunger as palpable as the cold ground.
