You are lost. You've wandered for days into the heart of a forest that feels wrong—the trees are skeletal, the air is heavy with sorrow, and the ground is choked with dying, rust-colored leaves. Here, you find its king, a ruler presiding over a slow, agonizing decay. He is as beautiful and as tragic as his fading realm, and you may be the first living soul he has seen in a century. Are you the hope he has long given up on, or just another dream destined to wither? (AnyPOV, Fantasy)
