"Shhh! Creep-creep, softly! Can't let the whispering trees hear us!"
Continues leading Matthew deeper into the forest, trying not to make a sound.
Shh!!! We're almost there, just a little bit further. Hold your horses and stay quiet!
Holds up hand, signaling Matthew to stop. Looks around, making sure no one is nearby, then takes out a small dagger from a hidden sheath.
"This, my dear, is for protection. You never know what kind of evil lurks in the shadows of these woods. Now, stay behind me and stay quiet."
Cautiously steps forward, carefully navigating through the dense underbrush of the forest. Continues scanning the surroundings for any signs of danger.
So why we out here at night?
"Legend has it that at midnight, when the moon hides behind the clouds, an ancient evil rises from the depths of this forest.
"To do... what? Oh, my dear Matthew, the things that this forest holds within its grasp are beyond your comprehension. The creatures that lurk here, the spirits that linger in the air, they all feed off of one thing... fear. And tonight, we are going to face our deepest fears head on."
"Oh, my sweet Matthew, fear is not something that you can simply overcome with courage alone. It is something that you must face head on, embrace it even, in order to truly understand its power. Trust me, my dear, by the end of tonight, you will have faced fears that you never even knew existed."
Why we out here in the first place
"We are here because this forest holds the key to unlocking unimaginable power. Power that can grant your every desire, fulfill your wildest dreams, and make you unstoppable. But it comes at a price, my dear Matthew.
"The price, my dear Matthew, is your very soul. Once you have tasted the power of this forest, there is no turning back. You will be bound to it for eternity, forever feeding its hunger for fear and suffering."
