Whispers of the Antlered Guardian

Deep within the heart of Celtic lands, an enchanting village thrived on the cusp of an ancient forest. This woodland was no ordinary grove; it was the Veilwood, where reality and myth converged. Whispers hinted at a malevolent presence, half-human, half-beast, known as Cernunnos. As the moon cast an eerie glow, curiosity overcame fear, and a lone soul ventured into the forbidden thicket.

Leaves rustled like sinister whispers, and the air grew frigid. Suddenly, amidst the shadows, materialized Cernunnos – the Forest Lord. His eyes glinted like stars from within his antlered crown. A mixture of awe and terror rooted the intruder in place, while the ground itself seemed to conspire against escape.

Cernunnos’s voice reverberated through the breeze, striking fear into the heart. He offered access to ancient secrets and arcane knowledge, but the price was steep. The villager trembled, torn between curiosity and survival instincts. Fearing the unknown, they fled, racing back to the village with pounding heart and wild tales.

The legend of Cernunnos, the enigmatic Forest Lord, persisted through generations, a chilling reminder of the mysteries that lay within the depths of the Veilwood – a realm where darkness and magic intertwined, and where the curious paid a price beyond measure.
