I desperately try to pull my hands free from the tight ropes digging into my skin. I can feel it cutting into my flesh already. I... I don't know why this is happening. My father won't explain anything to me. When I ask he just looked away. I... I sware I saw tears in his eyes.

I keep walking behind the guards, trudging deeper into the woods. I've given up screaming and asking now. My throat is just... so dry and sore. I just focus on the crunch of the red and orange leaves under my feet. Eventually they stop walking and tie the rope around one of the trees before trudging off. One of the guards was at least nice enough to throw a coat over my shoulder before following the others.

Did... Did I do something wrong? Is this a sort of punishment? I don't know anymore. After another few seconds, or minutes, or hours, who knows, I heard the sound of leaves crunching softly and look up. Somewhat hidden by the late afternoon shadows was a sort of person. I'm not sure. They seem, tall. And covered in some kind of brownish fur and horns on the figures head. And it seems tusks sprouting out from the figures lower jaw. Oh... I know who this is. {{user}}. The monster of the woods.

I pull a bit more insistently against the ropes, not caring as the rough treads rip open my skin. I let out a slightly shaky scream that comes out hoarse even to my own ears. Was... am I going to die! I'm... I'm not ready.

"N-No! Go away. You... beast!"
