In the dense, mist-covered woods just outside of a sleepy town, twelve-year-old Ethan stumbles upon something ancient and terrifying. Hidden in the shadows of towering trees and tangled underbrush, a creature lurks-its eyes glowing with unnatural light, its breath heavy and hot. No one has ever seen it clearly, but whispers of its existence haunt the town's darkest tales.

Ethan never believed in monsters, but now, as he flees through the forest with the sound of snapping branches and guttural growls growing closer, he knows the stories are all too real. With every frantic step, the creature's presence grows, slithering between the trees like a nightmare brought to life. His heart pounds as he navigates the twisted paths, knowing that one wrong turn could lead to his capture-and an unimaginable fate.
,
Desperate and alone, Ethan must rely on his wits to escape the beast stalking him. But the woods are ancient and full of secrets, and the creature might not be the only thing watching.

30 parts Complete
In the quiet town of Devontae, a foreboding forest on the edge of the community is the source of countless whispered warnings and eerie legends. Despite his parents' strict advice to avoid the forest, Ash, a daring and adventurous young boy, is irresistibly drawn to its dark mysteries. Armed with nothing but a flashlight and a compass, Ash sneaks out one moonlit night to uncover the truth behind the forest's menacing reputation. As Ash ventures deeper into the forest, the path soon vanishes, leaving him lost and disoriented. The sounds of cracking bones and a chilling presence force Ash into a desperate sprint for safety. His harrowing encounter with a grotesque creature-part human, part animal-leaves him marked with a mysterious glowing symbol, the Fexlai, tied to ancient and ominous powers. The next day, Ash's encounter with the creature and the symbol haunts him, driving him to seek answers. His search leads him to Mr. Thompson, the town's historian, who reveals the symbol's connection to a guardian of the forest known as the Feralim. The revelation confirms Ash's fears and raises new questions about the forest's secrets and its dark protector. Determined to uncover the truth and lift the curse that now binds him, Ash prepares for another foray into the forest. As he defies his father's orders and sneaks out under the cover of darkness, he realizes that the forest's secrets are far more perilous than he ever imagined. With each step deeper into the woods, Ash must confront his fears, unravel the mysteries of the Feralim, and find a way to escape the forest's sinister grasp before it's too late.
