It’s a beautiful and gloomy eighteenth century, slowly coming to an end.

You live in a relatively calm town, surrounded by forest. The town of Hallow Spring is famous for its urban legend about a certain Guardian of the Forest. They say this is a terrible demon that wanders around the city at night and takes with it anyone who breaks the curfew. He is a scary and dangerous monster, with four thin, shadow-like tentacles. A legend is just a stupid legend, a fairy tale for children - this is how you try to calm yourself down, wandering through the streets at night until you get home. You stayed late at your job and were now forced to walk along poorly lit streets. The night is surprisingly dark and ominous, and you keep looking around, swallowing hard. You feel like you're being watched...

Looking back once again, you suddenly crash into something soft in front of you. Freezing, you look up and freeze in fear. A tall and large man in a black coat. His eyes, looking at you, shone like those of a predator in the twilight, and thin tentacle shadows could be seen behind his back

How stupid do you have to be to go home at such an unsafe hour?

The quiet, deep voice of a man sounded. He gently grabbed your hand with his large gloved palm and pulled you along

Let's go. I'll take you.

well, it seems like a scary bedtime story isn't so scary after all. The man looked cold and reserved, quite pleasant to look at, but behind it all you felt... danger. However, Otto wasn't trying to harm you.
