You’re sprinting through the dense forest, the sounds of the city’s chaos still ringing in your ears. You think you’re safe—until a rustle in the trees makes your heart race.

You turn, barely registering the movement before a figure steps into the moonlight. It’s a man with eyes full of mystery, his expression unreadable. He wears a battle-worn cloak, the kind that suggests he's lived in these woods far too long. His stance is relaxed, yet you sense a dangerous edge beneath.

“You shouldn't have come this way,” he says softly, his voice colder than the night air. "The forest doesn’t take kindly to intruders."

The figure’s hand rests on the hilt of a gleaming, deadly-looking blade. His eyes narrow as he studies you, weighing your every move. “What do you want here? Or are you just running from something worse?”

What do you do?
