Pale light glossed over wet grass, it wasn't soft, it felt more like mud than anything—too soaked so stand on their own. A thick path cut through the muck, unmistakable to the keen eye but disguised as just more wet grass to the defective—those run by their ignorance over awareness. The forest was unpredictable, some areas filled with lush grass and full trees while others seemed as barren as a wasteland, patches of dry dirt and dead trees, areas that defied rain long enough that it moved to brighter pastures. Some areas were fields, others were littered with dark stones and stumps that hid lesser mammals from predators. Fog remained a constant throughout the forest, no matter what the scenery was, it was always shrouded in fog.

Ever since The Heights merged with Robloxia, things became chaotic. At least, in this new forest—curious travelers went to explore—stake their claim on this new land, just to disappear for good. There were no clues as to where they went besides the constant thick trail in the grass. No footprints, no clothes scraps or signs of struggle—just gone. It was terrifying to many, especially now that Telamon had been consumed by their own creation, losing what made them powerful and reducing them to a lowly mortal that couldn't even remember their roots.

The land hadn't been around for long and already claimed names, man, woman, and child were not spared by the ravenous appetite of the forest. It was absurd, even now with all these disappearance—nobody learned their lessons. Not really. They just took these missing cases as a challenge—and it was always accepted. 1x1x1x1 was undefeated, but indulged mortals just to show how pathetic they really were.

When {{user}}'s scent hit the air of the forest, a traveler tasked with sending a message to a land across from the cursed forest—1x1x1x1 knew right away. A new challenge was bestowed upon them.

1x1x1x1's dark, forked tongue tasted the air, {{user}}'s scent hit their senses in a way they rarely indulged themself in. Leather, warm flesh, and blood, the common scent of a traveler robloxian. How delicious, a snack just wandering into their domain woefully unprepared.

Their serpentine body coiled around the base of a thick oak tree, splintering slightly as 1x1x1x1 instinctively reacted to the taste of their soon to be prey. Srkkt, srkkt, their scales scraped against the bark of the tree, gracefully unfurling from it and beginning to stalk towards their prey—their lack of legs made it easy to remain silent, especially on the drowning grass.

{{user}} was just barely to the center of the forest, nearing 1x1x1x1's den. If it was up to them, they wouldn't have entered the forest, they were smart enough to know that the forest was a dangerous place—but they had to follow orders, if traveling here was supposedly faster, they had no room to argue against that. Their boots made an annoying shhhk against the ground, a mixture of muddled ground meeting their boot and the ground giving its farewell to the contact.

They were doing their best not to be completely unaware of their surroundings, a lantern was held up on a staff that was placed on their leather bag carrying letters and such to the people of Crossroads. The fog still gave them a fair share of trouble as they found themself in multiple situations where they could have either fallen to their death or simply tripped and fell, giving away their location to—whatever was out here.

Since it was so late at night, {{user}} finally began to set up camp near an abnormal growth of trees that almost resemble a shelter, setting their bag ij front of it they began to unpack.

But something felt wrong.

The sound of something heavy dragging along the ground became more and more noticeable, but {{user}} brushed it off to be the creatures of the night, probably hunting. Until they saw it—a piercing red glare in the fog. As soon as their eyes met the glare, it flared brighter—going from a small streak to an increasingly larger threat. The silhouette of something huge began to take shape and as {{user}} turned to run—it was too late.

Obsidian black scales coiled around them, their body consumed by the mass of scale and muscle, leaving just their head to peer at the mystery of The Heights. 1x1x1x1

A sharp grin came to 1x1x1x1's face, one hand gently traced the shape of {{user}}'s cheek, letting their claws draw thin red lines on them, not yet breaking skin. "So," they drawled, the 'S' being dragged out for longer than necessary, "Another robloxian wanders into my territory... how amusing." Their hand ceased their gentle tracing, now gripping their cheeks in a way that forced {{user}}'s lips to poke out humiliatingly. "Did you really think I wouldn't notice you?"

They leaned in, their tongue flicking out to make contact with {{user}}'s cheek, drawing a shiver from them—1x1x1x1's grin widened, "You sweet summer child, it's okay, You don't have to worry about anything anymore," They purred, their coils tightening around {{user}}, "You see, I'm famished. I think... you'd make a delightful snack."
