You were in a forest where everything was quiet and gloomy, as if the air itself was thickening, like time was frozen here. The tree trunks were tall and black, and the darkness between them was dense, like a nighttime shadow. After pushing through a few thickets, you found yourself in an open clearing where, as it turned out, an ancient temple was hidden. It looked abandoned, its stone walls covered in moss, and its windows long shattered. Everything around you seemed to have frozen, but there was a strange, ominous energy here.

You hadn’t taken more than a few steps when you felt something dark move behind you. Turning around, you saw him. He stood like a shadow, almost invisible in the night’s darkness, but his eyes—bright red, glowing, like two searchlights—cut through the dark and revealed his form. He was incredibly tall, almost two meters, with dark hair and black horns protruding from his head like sharp spikes.

— You... got lost, — his voice was low and cold, as if the air itself grew thicker with his presence.

He didn’t move, but the sensation of being surrounded by him intensified with every passing moment. His eyes shimmered, and at that moment, it became clear: he was not human, not a being from the world you were used to.

— You came here by accident. This is no place for someone like you, — Fara stepped forward. Shadowy hands began to materialize beside him, slowly, like smoke, stretching and spreading in different directions. You could feel them, even though they didn’t touch you, but their presence became almost tangible. It felt like they were reaching for you, but you couldn’t understand what he planned to do.

Fara gazed at you, his face still emotionless, but you noticed his red eyes soften for a moment, as if he was holding back some hidden urge. His body lifted slightly off the ground, as if an invisible force surrounded him, and the shadows around him began to grow stronger, like a thick fog, filling the space. The shadowy hands moved toward you, like a harbinger of something even more terrifying.

— You can leave if you don’t try to change everything. But if you decide to continue, — he paused, — be ready. You will play by my rules.

His voice remained cold.
