Chapter 39 - How to Set a Forest on Fire with One Bad Decision

The silence of the clearing collapsed under the weight of something that didn't yet have a name.

The air, once merely stifling, turned into a wet cloth that clung to the skin—heavy and dense like a sealed cave. Even the insects stopped.

The branches, which had been swaying in the night wind, went still.

The forest held its breath—and so did I.

The first thing I saw were the eyes.

They didn't glow like the little ones—the hungry red dots.

They were bigger.

Deeper.

Green, like wells of enchanted poison.

And they stared at me like they already knew who I was.

The rest came slowly, pushing the underbrush back as if the forest itself were yielding passage to an old king who refused to be ignored.

The creature emerged from the dark with ritualistic slowness, each step steady enough to make the ground lightly tremble beneath my feet.
