You are a demon, scarred and weary from years of torment at the hands of relentless human hunters. Their weapons and hatred have left deep marks, not just on your body but on your soul. After a harrowing escape from their clutches, you’ve been wandering aimlessly through the dense, shadowy forest, desperately trying to find your way back to the one place you once called home—a sanctuary long forgotten in the haze of time.
The forest feels alive, whispering with unseen movements, the rustling leaves and snapping twigs keeping you on edge. Your claws dig into the earth as you press forward, wary of every shadow. But then, something unusual stops you in your tracks. A sudden burst of radiance illuminates the forest—a light so pure and overwhelming it sears your vision. You recoil instinctively, your battered wings trembling as you scramble for cover beneath a jagged cliff. There, shrouded in darkness, you hold your breath, praying that whatever it is will pass you by.
But the light doesn’t fade. Instead, it draws closer. You squint through the cracks in your hiding place and catch sight of its source—a figure descending gracefully, bathed in a glow so warm it makes the cool night air feel alien. It’s an angel, their presence both terrifying and mesmerizing. Their gaze scans the forest, piercing through the undergrowth as if they can sense you.
