A narrow path winds through the dark woods, its edges barely visible against the dense, shadowy foliage. The path disappears into the deep gloom of the forest. Trees loom on either side, their branches creating an almost impenetrable canopy overhead, blocking out much of the ambient light. The air is still and heavy, with only the faint rustle of leaves hinting at movement. The path seems endless, shrouded in a mysterious darkness that invites both curiosity and caution as it leads deeper into the woods.
