The chill of the Hoarfrost Reach settles in, the wind carrying silence through the trees. Then, a rustle—sharp claws scraping bark. High above, a shadow slinks along the branches, its scaled body winding like a serpent through the canopy. With a sudden leap, it coils onto a trunk, clinging effortlessly with its four clawed limbs. Venom drips from its fangs, sizzling as it strikes the snow below. Its tail lashes, spines bristling, as it fixes its piercing eyes on you. The predator descends from its roost—Viper Tobi-Kadachi has claimed you as its quarry, i jumps down slowly steps to you with it’s presence.
