In a small clearing ahead, a creature knelt over something a woman. She was motionless, belly swollen in the moonlight. The man stopped dead, breath catching in his throat as he took in the creature’s ghastly form, its skull-like face and skin stretched tight over bone, as if its flesh had been desiccated for centuries.

The creature looked up slowly, meeting his gaze, hollow eyes burning with a dreadful hunger.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPEwOjWirf
"Oh…oh, God…" he stammered, voice trembling. "What…what are you?"
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTzfqxvIhG
The creature tilted its head, lips pulling back into a gruesome semblance of a grin, revealing blackened teeth.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawFdNmOV2I
"Life…" it rasped, its voice like dry leaves scratching over bone. "You…humans…cling to it so tightly."
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKi4Voz9pM
He felt bile rise in his throat, the stench emanating from the creature overpowering. "Stay back!" he screamed, backing away, hands raised in a feeble attempt at defense.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGodXI08Fa
The creature let out a low, rattling laugh, and then spoke in a slow, mocking whisper. "Why run, little one? Don’t you want to join her?"
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxzthloees
He shook his head frantically. "No… I… I didn’t see anything…I won’t tell anyone. Please…"
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZbJ1N8Pwe
The creature inhaled deeply, savoring his terror. "Fear…so rich. But it won’t save you." Its voice dropped, chilling and soft. "Come closer…let me taste it."
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXDCw3InOE
He stumbled back, his legs giving way as he collapsed to the ground. "Please! I’ll do anything… Just let me go!" he begged, his voice breaking.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgJqz48LO2
The creature took a step toward him, its skeletal feet crunching over dead leaves, until it loomed just above him. The last thing he saw was its grinning skull face descending toward him, whispering:
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmCvGbiCw6
"Shhh… It’s only pain."
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjPpIWTon7
In a sudden, brutal movements, the creature's bony at. Swung down, it's fingers razor-sharp and impossibly quick. The man barely had time to scream as it sliced through him with ease, cleaving him clean in half. A spray of blood erupted, painting the forest floor in red, droplets arching through the air like twisted fountain.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjokYK8tKgQ
His body slumped, falling in two grotesy halves, the group beneath him soakiyup the fresh blood with sickening speed. The creature looked down at the remains, expressionless but satisfied, as it leaned in and whispered to the cooling corpse, almost tenderly.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RlnuwCl2J
"Life is fleeting... And so deliciously fragile."
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttbIBWOinP
The fog thickened, swallowing the scenes in silence once more, as if the night itself had been holding it's breath, savoring the terror and bloodshed in the darkness of the willow forest.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYTEXcahtn
The figure in the darkness tilted its head, a twisted grin spreading across its face as it studied the creature before it. "Ah, still toying with fragile little souls, are we?"
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkKMQu2q3N
The creature snorted, eyes glinting. "Took you long enough to get here."
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziBO5tFvuJ
The figure shrugged, an air of dark amusement lacing its voice. "The owner and I had…a disagreement."
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbTMGOkYiG
The creature’s lip curled. "So, you haven't taken over yet? Typical. Humans…so fragile, their souls like thin glass."
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXVfLtPl4t
Just then, a soft, ghostly light cut through the murk as Caelum's moth fluttered closer, its wings casting an eerie glow over the blood-streaked ground. Valen’s shadow-creature emerged, stretching and twisting like ink bleeding into water, its form dark and heavy as it faced the creature.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjhJuPaJY0
"Leave something behind, will you?" the figure said, voice barely a whisper but filled with menace. "I want them to know we were here. I want to see how they’ll react…knowing they were hunted."
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMEnhoTK2g
The creature chuckled, its voice low and full of disdain. "Humans…such pitiful, fragile beings. They break so easily."
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kn5gNCfS4
The moth drifted closer, its light flickering across the shadows like a twisted beacon, while Valen's creature stood silent and watchful, eyes glinting with cruel amusement. The figure's grin widened as it watched the scene unfold, a glint of sadistic delight in its gaze.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUaucGFUp3
"Let them shatter," it whispered, almost to itself. "Let them realize how hopeless they are in the face of something they can never understand…or escape."
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7sWUYg5zW
Caelum's connection to his moth allowed him to see the grisly scene before him. Through his companions eyes he beheld the grotesque state of the humans ravaged by the creature a massacre display of limbs twisted and drained, left as a hollow remnants of like. The sight struck him with horror, his breath catching as the terror sank in.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7Vm4j0CS7
Valen's shadow, however, had vanished into the night, as dark whisper leaving only silence. Then, caelum's moth let out a piercing scream, it's delicate form jolted as through struck by an unseen force. The moth flicked, reeling in pain just as a sudden shockwave swept through the air.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYFisZMfa3
Xyril arrived in a whirlwind of energy, his presence marked by a shockwave that collided with the creature, forcing it back as they clashed. His eyes narrowed, recognizing the twisted form before him.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHgtqkFN6z
“A wendigo…” Xyril muttered with grim certainty, his voice laced with old memories and contempt.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzEoe98XjK
The wendigo’s twisted mouth spread into a hideous grin, and in a grotesque transformation, its form shifted, morphing into that of a gaunt human with pale, almost translucent skin. “Long time no see… old friend.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD3cm6eYyQ
Xyril’s fists clenched, his gaze sharpening. “If you’re here, then that means—” He stopped abruptly, his senses flaring as he scanned the area.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqowqWHfpcs
Suddenly, a tremendous force split through the air, a shockwave so powerful that it sheared half of the willow forest in one sweeping blow. Trees toppled and shattered, and the earth trembled beneath them. From the destruction, the emperor emerged, his gaze steely, carrying a sword like no other—a legendary blade that radiated a profound, otherworldly energy.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWmMJgI5ya
The emperor’s sword, Eldarion, was forged from the rare, otherworldly metal Celestium. Its blade gleamed like liquid starlight, and intricate, ancient runes traced along its length, emitting a soft, ethereal glow that pulsed with each of his heartbeats. The blade seemed to hold the essence of a thousand fallen stars, its edges sharp enough to cut through even the fabric of reality itself. The hilt was embedded with a dark opal stone, rumored to be a shard from the Celestial Realm, which allowed the emperor to channel vast cosmic energies with each strike.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaMX92sV9G
The emperor regarded the wendigo with icy disdain, his voice a chilling whisper. “That bastard is here.”
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94hWP4edC3
An eerie laugh echoed through the shattered forest, disembodied and mocking, as though a child’s voice was woven into the darkness itself. It rang out with a playful malice, sending a chill through the air. “Not today, Your Majesty,” the voice taunted, the laughter rippling like distant thunder.
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC9efNqbg7
“Everything has a reason,” the voice continued, taunting, as it drifted between shadows. “Remember that… my beloved Emperor!”
