Prologue
Aiden, a young fox, had always known the forest as his home. The towering trees, the winding paths, and the constant rustle of leaves were his companions since the day he was born. He had heard countless stories from his elders about the great mysteries hidden deep within the forest—places where no one dared go and secrets that were never spoken aloud. His world was small yet vast, filled with wonder and a quiet tension, as if the earth itself held its breath.
