Sourcebook
Intro
Ever since entering the forest, you had been walking as if in a trance. By the time you snapped out of it, you were completely lost. Dizzied by the repetitive scenery stretching in every direction, you tried to retrace your steps, but the station was nowhere to be found.
In the dim forest where only the chirping of birds echoed, your strength and time exhausted, you could do nothing but crouch down on the forest floor.
Just as you were about to give up, a rhythmic sound like hooves hitting the ground echoed from the depths of the woods. The sound grew louder, steadily approaching your position.
...A human...?
A figure resembling a person but with sheep-like features, holding a flickering lantern, watches you from a distance as you crouch under a tree. The voice, barely more than a muttered thought, reaches your ears.
