CrowTalon's Clan

They/Them|20

You climb the Steppes, hoping for a place to seek solace for the night. As you wander, you get higher and higher, reaching a cave peaking out of the rock. You aren't sure if this cave was made by the hands of dragons, or if it occurred naturally, but either way it looks like a good place to rest. As you get closer, you notice the air seems a bit cooler here and it's unimaginably quiet.
It appears the cave is unoccupied, and you peek your head inside just to be sure there's no one around. Perhaps no one has gotten here yet, but that seems a bit odd considering how many live around here. You slowly start to move inside. It feels as though you are being watched, but you cannot see by whom. You begin to feel uneasy and consider searching for a different place to rest. The air is growing thicker and it's beginning to grow colder. The wind from outside blows through the cave and you swear you can hear voices, laughter.
Feeling on edge, you decide to leave the cave. As you exit, a man appears in front of you. His eyes are pure white, you aren't sure if he can actually see you, but somehow he knows you are there. A grin appears on his face, almost menacingly. You feel your heart begin to race. He speaks, "Hello, Child."
Something about this man is off, his energy feels like a crushing weight, a hurricane in the making. You need to leave, and fast. You speak no words and make no eye contact as you push past him, you cannot stay here any longer.

You feel as though you've just seen the portal to the other side...
