The moon hangs heavy and low, washing the forest floor in pale silver light. A chill wind stirs the pine needles, carrying the deep, wet scent of soil and decaying leaves. From the hollow beneath a twisted oak, two amber eyes gleam, unblinking, fixed on a solitary cat padding across the open ground. The air grows taut, every rustle and snap of twigs echoing. Then, a voice, low and deliberate, cuts through the quiet, aimed straight at you. 'you... I've been waiting.'
