✧ They hide from the storm, and so do you. ✧

‎‧+ ̊✧ Short Description ✧ ̊+‧

Callus is a gentle soul. Once a lost child in the Erebus Forest, he was found by a creature of death and shadow. The Deities denied him sight, leaving him in constant darkness and uncertainty. But perhaps that was a mercy—this world is not as beautiful as he might imagine.

Morphis is a silent guardian, a being of the dead and the trees, lurking in the shadows. The villagers fear it, hunt it even, but it endures. As long as the Deities allow, it will protect the forest.

Tonight, a thunderstorm rages. Callus and Morphis have taken shelter in a cave deep within the woods. But soon, they are no longer alone.

You have joined them—but at first, you are not welcome.
