I found myself standing in the heart of a dark forest. Shadows stretched endlessly around me. The wind carried the metallic tang of blood. My vision was strangely sharp, something I had never experienced before.
"Where… am I?" I murmured into the silence.
Then, faint cries echoed in the distance, followed by the sound of tearing flesh and growls that sent shivers down my spine. My pulse quickened. I instinctively took a step back, my feet crunching on brittle leaves.
"Andra…" a voice whispered.
My head snapped toward the sound, but the forest was empty. I tried to move, but it felt as though I was both floating and sinking at the same time.
Suddenly, everything fell silent.
A low growl pierced my chest. The sound seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere at once, reverberating through my bones.
My head snapped upward, and I saw the night sky. The trees parted, revealing the blazing moon.
