The Forest of Eternal Silence was vast and immense, rightfully earning its title as the largest forest in all of mankind's territory.
Its trees soared into the sky, with an average height of around fifty meters.
Many even exceeded a hundred meters, with trunks so massive that a human standing nearby would appear as small as an ant.
Yet, the most terrifying thing about the forest wasn't its size, but the ancient monsters lurking within.
According to rumors, every night the soul-crushing howls of wolves echoed through the forest, reaching as far as a kilometer away.
Some even claimed that a wingless, dragon-shaped monster lived deep within, standing thirty meters tall, with massive jaws and rows of sword-sharp teeth.
Although none of these tales had been confirmed, many believed them, only adding to the forest's dreadful reputation.
At this very moment, one kilometer from the forest's edge, a streak of white light split the air.
