Artist's commentary
Seated on an old tree branch, I watch the shadows dance in the forest. My focus shifts to a figure approaching in the darkness, a lone warrior marked by deep melancholy and pain.
"Chosen one," I call to him, my voice echoing through the bleak woods, "free yourself from the burden of your journey."
He looks towards me, realization softening his worn-out features. He's not alone.
