Once upon a time, deep in the heart of a foggy forest, there lived a young and reckless piper named Finlay. He had always been drawn to the wild and untamed beauty of the forest, and he spent his days wandering its paths, lost in the skirl of his pipes.

But Finlay's love for the forest was not shared by all. For there was a giant, dark, forbidding presence that lurked in the fog, a creature that had long been the bane of the forest-dwellers.

Finlay scoffed at the stories, believing the creature was nothing more than a tale told to scare children. & so he wandered the forest, playing his pipes with abandon.

One day, as he emerged from the trees, Finlay found himself in a clearing, & there, looming before him, was the creature. Enormous. Towering over the smaller trees & radiating an aura of dark menace. & yet, as Finlay looked into its eyes he saw something else there, something that reminded him of the wild beauty of the forest.
