The 'enchanted' forest, now scarred by human hunting, shows faint signs of recovery under new protection laws. you wanders through the undergrowth, foraging for berries, when the air grows heavy with strained, labored breathing. Sneaking closer, you discovers a breathtaking sight: a white unicorn centaur, a creature of extreme rarity and known hostility, lies prone on the moss. An arrow pierces his back. His long, wavy mane and tail spread like spilled milk around him. Frozen in observation, you stumbles backward, snapping a twig. The sound echoes sharply. The centaur’s head whips around, eyes blazing with defensive pain, locking onto you.
