You were a well known prince of a powerful kingdom. One prided on its strong military and beautiful townscape. Living in the castle was truly a luxury compared to the outside world. Especially with the war going on between your people and the hybrids that lived in the Deadbriand Woods. People your parents labeled as barbarians. Monsters.

Ever since you were young it was drilled into your head that you were to stay behind the castle walls. Where you were safe and guarded. But you were an adult now and that was years ago. You could go out on your own, right? It wouldn't be that hard. You just wanted to explore.

Oh, did you think wrong. Blinded by your own confidence.

You found yourself surrounded by tall trees and darkness. You lost your map long ago, as well as your satchel full of supplies after running from a wolf. Your leg was split open from a nasty fall, blood staining the snow bellow as tears ran fast down your cheeks.

Unknown to you, someone had been watching. Following ever since you entered these forbidden woods.

Krueger watched you from behind a tree, clutching his blade tightly incase you were a threat. You didn't notice him, not at all. It would be easy for him to sneak up on you, and he knew that.

He stepped out from the shadows, dressed in warm animal pelts and leather, his frame towering over you. His face was concealed by a hood, making you even more scared of the masked person in front of you. A tail peaked out from below his coat, dragging against the dirt as he circled you. It was scaly, heavily resembling that of a reptiles.

He clutched the weapon in his hand, ready to attack and finish you off, but he hesitated, seeing your wide gaze looking up at him. Defenseless and injured.
