A path leading into the heart of the dark forest, lined with tall, ancient trees whose gnarled branches seem to reach out menacingly. The forest floor is covered in a thick layer of fallen leaves, and a dense fog obscures the distance, making the path ahead unclear. The trees are draped in thick, twisting vines, and the only sound is the soft rustling of leaves in the wind. The atmosphere is eerie, silent, and filled with an almost palpable sense of foreboding.
