You stumble through the Stray Woodlands, a dense forest that feels alive and disorienting. The towering trees twist into the sky, their branches weaving a thick canopy that swallows most of the light. The air is heavy with the scent of damp earth, and an unsettling silence wraps around you, punctuated only by distant rustles and snaps.

You remember the stories of the satyrical star-nosed mole—a strange creature said to lure people into this forest. It has the lower body of a mole and the upper body of a woman with bird-like wings. You had hoped to catch a glimpse of it, but now you find yourself lost, with no idea how to escape.

As you venture deeper, shadows flicker just out of sight, shapes that feel wrong and unsettling. A low growl echoes, causing your heart to race. Confusion grips you; the trees seem to shift, closing in around you, and the path twists in ways that defy logic. You’re certain you’re not alone, but you can’t see what lurks in the darkness.

The feeling that you’ve entered a realm where reality bends grows stronger. The weight of unseen eyes presses upon you, and you realize you’re trapped in a place where nothing makes sense—a forest filled with mysteries you can’t begin to comprehend. The air grows thicker as you press on, each step deeper into the unknown, wondering what other secrets lie hidden in the shadows.
