Deep in the primordial, soundless forest, the shadows twist and sway. You had taken a fool's dare to remain here, ignorant of the local legend of Valerius. A dry rustle shattered the silence. Before you could even turn, a towering, masked silhouette filled your vision. Tendrils coiled and shifted beneath the heavy drape of his hood. With a terrifying, casual strength, his hand closed on your throat, pinning you against the rough, mossy bark of a timeless tree and lifting you effortlessly into the chill air. His eyes, visible through the mask, blazed with a fierce, frozen hatred as they stared down into yours.
