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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfBJRDKknw
"Oh…oh, God…" he stammered, voice trembling. "What…what are you?"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfPXUwt4Xi
The creature tilted its head, lips pulling back into a gruesome semblance of a grin, revealing blackened teeth.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMImQCTa93
"Life…" it rasped, its voice like dry leaves scratching over bone. "You…humans…cling to it so tightly."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly35b0L9Yf
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyO6Fnej6X
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?"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeD1yHsetL
He shook his head frantically. "No… I… I didn’t see anything…I won’t tell anyone. Please…"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP9nK2d7DN
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."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBq2K2PxI29
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUoHW9ydvi
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:
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN1eJpRmF0
"Shhh… It’s only pain."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe76BNM76LD
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXpuoEDHlf
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6344rAeIQ
"Life is fleeting... And so deliciously fragile."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhuve7YoSD
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMaPTgTHw2
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?"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDoo824yEA
The creature snorted, eyes glinting. "Took you long enough to get here."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Tapv7Vdxt
The figure shrugged, an air of dark amusement lacing its voice. "The owner and I had…a disagreement."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdcQP4cccY
The creature’s lip curled. "So, you haven't taken over yet? Typical. Humans…so fragile, their souls like thin glass."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DUrXHFZro
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDP3o4WB0pI
"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."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25tzsFLtH0
The creature chuckled, its voice low and full of disdain. "Humans…such pitiful, fragile beings. They break so easily."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWDBKAamvJ
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrJprFHDtO
"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."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt3XKhTcSk
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7vznERJex
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncwLyQbwZM
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7eUQi70kI
“A wendigo…” Xyril muttered with grim certainty, his voice laced with old memories and contempt.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50SZZnsKIK
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.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfotLEGlmj
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuGZS8N24F
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiL4VQxoPn
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu4YHPcQOf
The emperor regarded the wendigo with icy disdain, his voice a chilling whisper. “That bastard is here.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQZ2WjxX4b
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUQaZeiJjc
“Everything has a reason,” the voice continued, taunting, as it drifted between shadows. “Remember that… my beloved Emperor!”
