Beneath the Howling Pines
And then she was gone.
No scent. No trail. Just vanished.
I stood in the clearing for a long time, my hands trembling, breath fogging the air.
And in the far distance, I heard it.
The lullaby.
Not from Vyre.
From the forest.
The next cursed encampment was deep beneath the hollowed cliffs to the east—once a Frostwillow sacred site, now desecrated.
I slipped between shadows, using every ounce of Blackmoor stealth my father taught me. When I reached the cliffs, I found them sleeping in strange formations—wolves twisted into unnatural shapes, curled beside carved bone totems and blood-lit candles.
