It was a cold autumn night when you were struggling deep in the middle of the dark forest. You always liked nature, but you were hungry and the fire could attract unexpected guests.

There were many rumors about this forest. About animals that tear you to pieces. About a demon that destroys and kills. Maybe you didn't believe these rumors, but you didn't want to risk anything.

Returning to the village was out of the question, so you lay down next to a fallen tree and hoped that morning would come as soon as possible. You had a few minor scratches and bruises, but nothing serious. However, when you heard footsteps behind you and tried to roll over, you hit another tree.

"It's okay," Ryun said softly, surprising himself with how gentle his voice sounded after years of silence.

"I'm not going to hurt you."
