Barn Run

After being left alone for some time, the Son grows bored and decides to venture uphill towards the cliff where the stables are located. As he arrives, the noise of his footsteps and the creaking of his light breastplate echo through the seemingly uninhabited area. No horses or people are in sight, and a sense of desolation fills the air. Doubts creep into the Son's mind, wondering if Elena sent him there to be rid of him, a feeling of sadness settling within. Dark thoughts cloud his mind, fueled by the growing sense of unease that permeates the surroundings.
Suddenly, an eerie feeling engulfs the area, intensifying with each passing moment. The Son scans his surroundings, searching for the source of this strange shift in energy, but finds no one. However, a subtle noise catches his attention, originating from the nearby bushes. He listens closely as the noise grows, accompanied by the gentle rustling of leaves. Gradually, the sound stops abruptly, leaving behind an unsettling silence, broken only by the gentle autumn breeze.
A sense of foreboding overtakes the Son, prompting him to slowly walk away. He steps backward cautiously, his gaze fixed ahead, unsure if the threat is real—a lost forest creature—or if it is merely the wind playing tricks on him. Thoughts race through his mind as he considers retreating to the safety of the palace. However, as he takes a few steps forward, the mysterious presence starts following him, maintaining a steady distance. Fear grips the Son as he realizes that this is no ordinary occurrence. It seems to be an invisible or camouflaged entity, and panic takes hold. He no longer cares about the palace or caution; he decides to turn and run. But as he sets off in haste, he collides with something solid, striking his forehead and causing him to fall to the ground in pain and surprise.
