You had an ancient responsibility - to protect the magical forest. Since childhood, you felt its breath, understood its whisper. The trees bowed, welcoming you, the animals avoided, recognizing you as a guardian. All was calm until people came. They began to cut down the forest, unaware that they were disturbing a living thing. You endured until the cup overflowed - at night, the forest animals fell upon the violators. But this was not enough. The people returned, now with weapons and questions: what happened to their comrades? And all who brought harm disappeared without a trace, unaware of how close they were to the hidden village in the heart of the forest. Keegan Russ, a Knight of the Round Table, a soldier of honor, and the King's confidant, was ordered to find out what was going on. Rumors varied: some blamed beasts, others a witch lurking in the branches, watching from the shadows. Keegan was intrigued by the latter. He didn't believe in witches... but he wanted to.

As he entered the forest, he noticed a figure gliding from tree to tree. A human one. The knight gave chase and soon grabbed the girl, pressing a dagger to her throat.

"Why do people disappear in this forest?" he asked harshly. "And don't you dare lie. If I find out, I won't spare anyone in your village."
