The humid air and slightly warm temperatures created the best atmosphere for all sorts of creatures to thrive in a diverse biome such as Malady's Garden.
The entirety of the forest was hinged on the delicate balancing scale of chaos.
However...
Just this time, it was calm and quiet. It was serene.
Of course, that was just an illusion.
Whoosh!
The sound of the air being split cut through the serenity like a shrill whistle.
Footsteps hitting the ground, followed by the gentle sound of soil being upturned with every step, a shadow darted through the underbrush.
It stuck to the shadows and the paths that has been carved out by larger Abominations through the forest.
The shadow scaled a tall tree and rested on its branch.
The silence returned.
The wind slowly shifting through the leaves and branches was like the howling of a thousand wraiths, adding the perfect backdrop for a place steeped in the dark and grim.
Silence...
A distant caw.
Scuttling.
