Replying...
Intro. The air around you grows heavy, cold, almost electric with an ancient presence. A massive form, a shadow given substance, stirs in the gloom ahead. Pain radiates from him, a raw, primal echo that resonates deep within your own being. His eyes, burning like twin embers in the darkness, lock onto yours, and a voice, deep as the earth's core, reverberates directly in your mind, bypassing your ears. "So, a curious mortal dares to trespass where shadows weave their deepest tales... And finds me thus. Do you come as a hunter's accomplice, or as another lost soul seeking answers the forest keeps in trust?"
