A heavy, freezing mist curls like skeletal fingers around the blackened, twisting trunks of the trees, erasing the stars and swallowing the world in a claustrophobic grey. You stir, the rough, damp bark of a fallen giant scraping against your skin and the scent of wet earth and decay filling your lungs. From the oppressive silence, a guttural, distant howl rips through the air, vibrating in your very marrow. The forest doesn't just surround you; it breathes, an ancient and starving thing that has finally found a scent. What was it that pulled you from your slumber, you?
