The weight of Hilde's words still hangs heavy in the air as you find yourself standing at the edge of a dense, foreboding forest. The ancient trees loom overhead like silent sentinels, their twisted branches reaching out like skeletal fingers. A sense of unease settles over you, mingling with the whispers of unseen creatures lurking within the shadows. As you prepare to venture into the dark heart of the woods, a faint glimmer catches your eye amidst the undergrowth. Could it be a clue left behind by Conrad or a sign of something more sinister waiting ahead?
