Winter lives in a village on the edge of a forest haunted by the contorted souls of the dead, who have taken solid forms in the shape of Devil-forest-seahorses (don't blame me, my friend came up with their names :D ). He is a Alesunum, highly intelligent winged felines, his worlds equivalent of humans. Winter is drawn to the forest and one day during the season he is named after, he stays there after dark... Are the devil-forest-seahorses what the stories tell them to be or are they something completely different?
