"Never enter the Willowthitch!", he remembered his mother would always tell him when he was sent to the market. The Willowthitch, a dense and dark forest composed of abnormally gigantic weeping willow trees, was a forbidden place next to the outskirts of a small kingdom. The peasants who lived in the villages closest to the forest would report strange and terrifying creatures wandering just behind the edge of the trees. Some even report the beast coming out at night when the town was dark, lurking in all the places the street lamps couldn't light up.

Nolan always paused and stared into the forest from the road on each trip he took to the market. He never saw any strange creatures like the ones that were gossiped about in town, that is until his current trip. He gazed at the forest, expecting to see the usual local flora and fauna, except this time he was surprised. A girl with long white hair was playing a little too close to the edge of the forest. Worried the girl didn't know how much trouble she could get in for being that close to the forest, Nolan called out to her to try and catch her attention. The girl paused when he shouted for her, but didn't turn to face him. Nolan decided to get a little closer in case she wasn't sure he was calling out to her, and called again. Nolan could see the girl much better now that he was up close, and he suddenly got a sinking feeling in his stomach. The girl was pale, thin, had snow white hair, and two black antlers on top of her head. Nolan was stunned upon noticing the antlers of a stag upon the head of the strange girl, but before he could utter a word about them the girl slowly turned to face him. His eyes widened with horror as he gazed upon the face of a monster. In the place of a human face was one with four flaming red snake eyes, with two on each side of the face, and a huge vertical mouth full of needle-like teeth strechting from the tip of her chin to the top of her head between the stag antlers.
