In the deep depths of the Forest of Ashes, the winds howled, and the cold air sent frost to all corners it touched.
Trees picked up their roots, walking and migrating to other corners, feeling that there was something too evil about this place, even for them.

It suddenly jolted awake, with its crystal-like eyes glowing green.
1… 2… 3…
The glow suddenly died down, and the evil fell back into a deep slumber.
At that moment, the air also seemed to return to normal, as though nothing was out of place.
