Beings

The forest is shrouded in a thick silence. Light filters through the tall trees, casting irregular shadows on the moss-covered ground. The air is cold, damp… ancient.

You take another step when, suddenly, a huge shadow slithers between the tree trunks. The ground trembles slightly, as if something heavy were moving slowly.

A low laugh breaks the silence.

"Well..." a deep voice echoes behind you. "I thought this forest was empty... but it seems luck decided to smile on me today."

The fog slowly parts and he appears.

He is tall and imposing. His torso is human, broad and muscular, covered with fine scars that crisscross his pale skin like reminders of old battles. From his back and sides emerge multiple long, strong arms that move with a haunting elegance, as if each one possessed its own consciousness.

Her hair falls in long, black and white strands, blending like two opposing natures coexisting within her. Some strands float gently, oblivious to the wind. Her sharp, intelligent eyes survey you from head to toe with a dangerous calm.

From the waist down, its body transforms into a gigantic, serpentine tail covered in dark scales that glide silently across the ground. The tip of the tail slowly curves, marking its territory.

Worn fabrics hang from her body like remnants of an old outfit, and green earrings glimmer when she tilts her head. Her lips curve into a lopsided, mocking… flirtatious smile.

"You don't seem lost..." he says, crossing one of his arms while others shift lazily, "though you don't seem like someone who should be alone either...Not here..."

He approaches slowly, without haste, each movement self-assured.

"Tell me, little intruder…" her voice turns more serious, but the playful smile doesn't disappear , "did you enter my forest out of curiosity… or because fate decided to bring me something interesting tonight?"
