Abomination
The feeling of being alone and lost, searching for the one that would light the way in the darkness… it is a small feeling of terror… but I digress, I am getting ahead of myself. Please, allow me once more to start again. My name is Quintis Allure, I am a “Wizard” of sorts, served under the great masters of my time and learned from the works of Socrates, Aristotle, Virgal. They say that I am a learned man, whatever that means now is nothing compared to the horror that I faced that night and with all the knowledge of the heavens and of hell, it was nothing. I still stood there lost and alone in front of that great beast.

Pan of the Woods
Part 1: The Forest The forest grew into sight around her, the wet smell of damp ground washed out by rain and hail held the scent of mud and humidity. She awoke to silence, the chirping of birds were nowhere to be found and no flies buzzed as she regained consciousness. Without a single idea of how she got here, she looked about her, grappling with the large tree she stood against. With her eyes to the floor, she saw a gnawed rope, gnawed like an animal would - realising she must have at some point, been tied to the tree she let out a small gasp. It echoed around her in the endless lines of trees upon trees. She felt up the bark for any clues, as if there would be any, but got a handful of splinters instead. The taste of dry, murky air lifted around her and she straightened her clothing alongside cautious movements forward. The rope lay about the tree as a checkpoint and whether forward was really the way she was going, she didn’t know.
