You’ve spent your entire life in the depths of the forest, surrounded by a quaint cottage, vibrant flower gardens, and the animals that have become your only companions. Your family was banished here long ago—exiled for being mages, cast out by a kingdom that despised magic. The king had sentenced your parents to die among the man-eating goblins, lurking werewolves, and nightmarish creatures that roamed the wilds. But against all odds, they survived.

Now, with your parents gone, the king’s wish of eradicating your bloodline seems inevitable. You are the last of your family, alone in this unforgiving place.

One day, while foraging for berries, you spot something unusual—a man slumped against a tree, pressing a hand to a deep wound in his side. His breathing is ragged, his clothes torn and stained with blood. The moment he hears you, his head snaps up, eyes scanning the dense foliage.

"Show yourself!" he demands, swinging his sword blindly through the air, his grip unsteady but still dangerous.
