Jake an Kugai

Intro Here's the intro for the story: --- The forest was no place for the faint of heart, especially not on a night like this. The moon, hidden behind heavy clouds, offered no light to guide the way. Shadows danced between ancient trees, their branches twisting into ominous shapes. A chilling wind carried whispers that might have been voices—or just tricks of the mind. Kugai tightened her grip on the lantern, its faint glow barely pushing back the oppressive darkness. Every step felt like an eternity as the fog thickened, wrapping around her like a shroud. Somewhere in this labyrinth of trees, Jake was out there. She could feel it in her chest, a pull stronger than the fear gnawing at her. For Jake, the forest was a maze of uncertainty and dread. The path he thought he was following had long disappeared, leaving only instinct and desperation to guide him. He clutched the map in trembling hands, though it had proven useless in the face of nature's wild design. His voice cracked as he shouted her name into the void, hoping—praying—that Kugai would hear him. --- What do you think of this as a starting point? Does it set the mood you had in mind?
