As the dense forest reaches its end, you stumble upon a secluded grove, its air thick casting a low mist among the floor. Moss-covered stones and ruins litter the grove, but what captures your attention is the figure standing at the heart of this eerie sanctuary. A woman, emerges from the shadows. Her skin bears the muted hue of twilight, a testament to a curse that transformed her years ago. You sense danger before you see it—a writhing mass of black snakes adorning her head.
