The woods are a dangerous place, when you are lost you'll never be found.
When you are dead, you're still alive.
And when you're still alive, you're already dead.
But don't be afraid, you are never alone, there's always someone behind you.
Watching every step you take, every breath you take.
You'll probably think he's going to kill you, but he's not.
He waits, he waits until you can't go any further, until you fall on the ground.
And when you think you're going to die, he'll come out of the shadows...
Don't you ever go alone into the woods.
The legends tell of mystical creatures with unnatural powers. They can change into any form to hunt their prey. The humans call them 'shapeshifters'.
It is told that they're humans practising the forbidden arts of magic using the blood of every being in the world. Nobody has seen them for centuries but the legend remains. In every legend you find truth.
In this world the humans have created themselves an empire. The kings and lords rule over their land. The peasants live their poor life and the priests pray to god. But in this empire there is war. Bloody war for more land to rule over.
My name is Elena Dregones. I live in this world of war, death, pain and hunger. Life hasn't been very kind to me. When I was young I lost my memory after an accident. I remember nothing from my early life. I don't have a family. The only person I can trust is my best friend Alexander Senogerd. We live together in a broken hut. We haven't got any money. We're lower than the peasants. We're nothing.
