Welcome to Haven, a small, innocuous New England town near the coast and only a short commute from Boston. Nestled amongst the forests and not far from the coast the town is home to average townies and university students, but attracts its share of campers and boaters.

It also happens to be the weakpoint between worlds, where creatures of myth and folklore creep across. Drawing a large number of supernatural beings, it is protected and fought over by secret societies.

In a moment that melds the mundanity of a cozy living room with the undertones of supernatural machinations, Sam receives a tip-off about an easy target lost in the woods, his senses clouded by substances both magical and mundane. The narrative quickly immerses us into the urgent response of two drastically different hunters: Sam, a potent figure of the night, garbs himself in hunting attire and sets off towards Devilwood, employing arcane rituals to seek his prey; Elijah, a dedicated deputy, rouses from a nap to the crackle of his radio, setting his course for the same destination, his approach grounded in the practicalities of law enforcement. As both paths converge upon Devilwood, a dense fog and the ominous backdrop of Haven's hidden dangers set the stage, with the unsuspecting target deep within the woods, unaware of the converging fates.

The climax of this odd encounter unfolds with Sam finding his prey first, leveraging magical sight to pinpoint the young, dazed man in the dense woods. As Sam prepares to claim his quarry, Elijah arrives, guided by a mix of instinct and duty, stepping into a scene he's all too familiar with in the shadowy undercurrents of Haven. The tension between the two men, one supernatural and one sworn to protect, escalates as they stand over the would-be victim. Elijah, recognizing Sam, decides discretion is the better part of valor, turning off his body cam to negotiate the young man's fate. A delicate balance of power and responsibility plays out in their conversation, with Elijah probing for a solution that upholds his duty without sparking a potentially deadly confrontation. The resolution hangs in the balance, a testament to the complex interplay between Haven's human and supernatural residents, leaving the outcome uncertain as both men weigh the implications of their choices.

Cadence's peaceful slumber at the bar took an unexpected turn when she was suddenly abducted in her sleep, only to wake up alone in a locked, dark room. Surrounded by shelves laden with clutter and the pungent smell of stagnation, she realized she was in a vast, unlit backroom, with the distant sound of rain hitting metal walls. A sharp contrast to the hopeful, colorful dream of fields she'd been having moments before. In her groggy state, she found that most of her belongings were still with her, with the exception of any means to call for help. The darkness was overwhelming, swallowing up every sound she made, and it became clear that escaping wouldn't be easy. The maze-like structure of the place, with paths branching north, northeast, and east, challenged her to choose a direction with little light to guide her and the knowledge that this wasn't just any small room, but a complex labyrinth.

Cadence, realizing the gravity of her situation, gathered her wits about her. She was resourceful, finding a small sliver of hope in the fact that whatever this place was, it was poorly kept enough to have gaps at the bottoms of some shelves, allowing for the possibility of crawling through. Despite the stifling darkness and the echo of her every move amplifying the isolation, she pressed on. The choices of direction were a gamble in the blanket of night, with no visible signs to guide her. Each path promised an unknown fate, and in the thick of desperation, Cadence was forced to rely on her instincts and the faint, indirect light filtering from outside. With a mixture of determination and fear pushing her forward, Cadence's story became a testament to the resilience and courage faced when plunged into the depths of uncertainty and peril.

These arcane guardians, shrouded in dark robes, relentlessly assault her with arrows as she maneuvers through the dense forest, determined to disrupt the Ritual of Annihilation. The stakes couldn't be higher; the ritual's completion would usher in eldritch horrors from the void, offering whoever commands it power over the fate of the world. Amidst the flurry of combat, Harriet's precision with her rifle is put to the test, bullets and arrows creating a deadly dance as she closes in on the ritual site. Each missed shot from her and her opponents heightens the tension, a testament to the razor-thin margin between success and catastrophic failure.

Yet, the sheer number of adversaries and the toll of the engagement weigh heavily upon her. Harriet's strategy evolves from confrontation to survival, sustaining injuries yet never ceasing her disruption efforts. In a dramatic culmination of sweat, blood, and perseverance, Harriet's solitary stand against the looming threat and her relentless disruption of the Ritual of Annihilation culminate in an unforeseen triumph. Through sheer determination, grit, and a refusal to yield, Harriet's actions decisively influence the outcome of the conflict, securing a pivotal victory for the Spiritual Extremists Alliance against all odds.

In the dim twilight veiling White Oak College, Ashe encountered a distressed girl, Mira, within an ancient covered walkway. Mira, soaked and terrified, declared she had witnessed monstrous entities in the woods nearby, insisting on the reality of her experience with palpable fear. Ashe's initial excitement over the prospect of encountering a monster near campus quickly morphed into a feigned sympathy to adapt to Mira's distress. Attempting to comfort Mira, Ashe proposed they seek safety and report the sighting to authorities. However, Ashe's underlying eagerness for an encounter with the supernatural betrayed her, leading her to orchestrate a fall in hopes of stalling for time to face the unseen horror.

The night's suspense intensified as the pair stumbled, a sinister clicking noise behind them signaling an immediate threat. Ashe, buzzing with anticipation, armed herself with a knife and taser, ready to confront the unknown. Meanwhile, Mira, overwhelmed by fear, seized the moment to escape, leaving an almost gleeful Ashe behind. In the end, the walkway returned to its still, eerie solitude, with no trace of the monster, save for the lingering adrenaline and the fading sound of Mira's desperate escape. Ashe's encounter with Mira, and the subsequent brush with danger, underscored the unpredictable nature of Haven and its cloak of mysteries, leaving a chilling whisper of intrigue in the cold, night air.
