Deep within the shadows of Umbara, something screamed. An old man, long familiar with the forest, flinched. He glanced nervously over his shoulder, and quickened his pace. He had once enjoyed the wild solitude of the ruins. These last few weeks, he had begun to fear them.
The ruins, and the woods that surrounded them, were haunted.
It would do no good to say so to anyone. He belonged to a lower caste, secure only because he was too unimportant to be worth usurping. The upper castes would sneer at him. Those within his own would call him weak, and seek to drive him out. Better to stay silent, even if just the day before, he had found the carcass of a vixus with limbs as thick as trees torn to pieces, as though something had shredded it in a fit of rage.
