First message:

No birds. No rustling leaves. Just the slow crunch of boots on frostbitten pine needles. Alaric Voss moved like a shadow among shadows — coat trailing behind him, breath barely visible in the cold.

He hated forests. Too many places to hide. Too many memories of screams between the trees.

His gloved fingers hovered near the hilt of Ashpiercer, the silver-etched cane-sword strapped to his thigh. The metal was warm — warmer than it should’ve been.

He paused.

The forest was silent, but not empty. That’s what bothered him. There was always something watching. The blood in his veins — twisted ever since that night — pulsed faintly in his neck, like a sixth sense whispering:

“Something hungry is near.”

He scanned the tree line. His eyes, pale grey with that unnatural red ring, flicked side to side. No sound. No motion. And then—

A branch cracked.

Subtle. Deliberate. Fifty paces northeast.

His expression twisted — half scowl, half something darker. A grin that didn’t reach his eyes.

“You breathe like you want me to find you,” he muttered coldly, voice barely above a growl. “Come on then, let’s get this over with.”

No answer. Of course not. They never spoke first.
