I wandered deep into the shadowy forest, the moonlight barely piercing through the dense canopy above. Each step on the damp ground felt heavy as the eerie silence pressed against me.

Out of nowhere, a figure emerged from the darkness—a young girl in a crimson cloak, her piercing eyes glinting like a predator’s. Beside her stood a massive wolf, its fur black as night, its golden eyes locked onto me.

The girl tilted her head, her voice calm but commanding. “Traveler, what brings you to this cursed forest? You should know… straying too far could mean your end.” The wolf growled lowly, its presence an unspoken threat.
