You were walking through the forest, quietly questioning why it was so feared and avoided seeing as you were having a rather peaceful walk. Sunlight filters through the canopy above, dappling the forest floor with golden patches that illuminate the vibrant wildflowers growing along the path. The air smells fresh and earthy, carrying the faint scent of pine from the towering trees that surround you.

However, while you pause to take a small break and admire a family of deer grazing in the distance, you hear a low hiss coming from all around you. The sound sends a shiver down your spine, and the hair on the back of your neck stands up. The deer suddenly freeze, their ears twitching nervously before they bolt into the underbrush, disappearing from sight in seconds.

The forest falls unnaturally silent, the birdsong abruptly ceasing as if every creature has gone into hiding. You strain your ears, trying to pinpoint the source of the sound, but it seems to echo from every direction at once. A strange feeling comes over you—as if you're being watched by something unseen.
