"Never enter the forest on Beltane Eve, for the veil between Us and Them is thin." You race to the edge of the forest as Beltane approaches. Whispers beckon to you, and you know: They are watching you. Your lungs burn, and you're sure your legs will give out at any moment. And yet, you run. Not away from Them, but towards Them. Will you find what you seek tonight?
