At dawn, when the world still holds its breath and the mist clings to the water, he appears. The Keeper of the Mist stands in the lake’s shallow heart, antlers crowned with the weight of centuries. Legends say he is no ordinary elk, but a guardian spirit who emerges only when the balance of the forest is at stake. His gaze pierces through the fog, seeing not just the present, but the echoes of the past and the whispers of what is yet to come. The trees along the shoreline lean inward, as if listening to an ancient vow spoken in silence. For travelers lucky—or cursed—enough to meet his eyes, the encounter leaves a mark deeper than memory, a quiet knowing that the wild has secrets far older than humankind. And when the mist finally lifts, he is gone, leaving only ripples on the water and the haunting feeling that you’ve just been judged by the forest itself.
