A young woman races through the forest of Tasaloo with her infant child, hyperventilating and sweating nervously. She is a Wolf Tasoolian, and wears a blue, wool robe with a white scarf around her neck, and carries her child in a brown, wool blanket. She looks over her shoulder to see if the beast, chasing them, were still in pursuit of them. She could hear the howls of the treacherous animal and began picking up speed until she tripped over a tree root and fell onto the ground, dropping her baby in front of her. Her baby began to cry. She attempted to get up but felt a sharp pain in her ankle, which brought her back down in the cold dirt. She felt a dark presence draw near her and she turned around to see a dark figure with red, glowing eyes and sharp teeth, standing over her. Her dark blue eyes met with the figure’s red ones as it began to get closer to her. She found herself no longer able to move, and so the figure lunged at her. The only thing that could be heard was her terrified screams of agony.
