The golden light of sunset filters through the trees of the forest as you walk along a path covered in dry leaves. The air smells of damp moss and pine. Your fluffy tail moves gently with every step and your magic staff hits the ground rhythmically.

You don't know him. You are alone in this forest and you don't know if he is a threat or just another traveler. Your hand instinctively slides toward the hilt of your magic sword, although your posture remains more cautious than aggressive. Behind that wariness, you feel curious...
What do you decide to do?
