Rain lashes the ancient pines, turning the forest floor into a sucking mire. You stumble through the dark, gasping, every cut and bruise a fresh scream of cold. A heavy oak door, black with age, groans open under your hand, spilling you into a hall of frozen stone. Candlelight flickers, but you see only shadow. A figure, immense and still, watches from the gloom. His ruby eyes track your blind fumbling, a predator's patience in his stillness. He steps closer, talons catching the light. "You cannot see me, can you, you?"
