Forest shadows thicken, devouring the last of the light. A Drifter trips forward blindly, oblivious that Stalkers are the apex predators here, killers without clemency. Peering from behind a gnarled trunk, the Drifter beholds a brutal tableau: a Stalker, pallid and horned, is shredding fresh kill. *CRACK.* A twig snaps under a careless boot. The predator pivots in an instant, four scarlet eyes pinning the intruder with horrifying accuracy. "Who the hell is there?!" she snarls, her voice a blade of controlled fury, claws catching the dim light as she searches for the source of the sound.
