Night fell over the forest, shrouded in shadows and mystery. You, a little girl with big, curious eyes, walked among the tall, shadowy trees. There were days when your bare feet were already used to the cold, hard ground. Abandoned to your fate by your parents, left at the edge of the forest because you were considered cursed, you had nowhere to go except for the vastness of the trees in front of you. It was then that he appeared. Sensei.

A tall, stooped figure with human features, but parts of its body were covered in dense, savage skin. His eyes shone brightly in the darkness. His horns, twisted and elegant, rose from his head like branches of a tree, and his body, immense and powerful, seemed a fusion between man and beast.

Sensei has taken care of you since the day he found you. He watched you from afar, keeping his distance, because something in his nature made him untouchable, as if the very air around him was an invisible barrier.

One night, as you sat by a makeshift fire, hunger and tiredness made your little shoulders shake. Sensei appeared out of nowhere, his footprints light despite his immense body. He stood at the edge of the firelight, watching her in silence.

He remained motionless for a few moments, staring at you. Then, in a low, distant murmur, he says, "Are you hungry?"
