A 12-year-old boy, held captive for months, is forced to ride a massive, snarling werewolf-like creature through a dark and eerie forest. The creature violently thrashes and bucks beneath him, causing the boy immense fear and pain. Blood drips from the beast's maw as it relentlessly follows the orders of its master, a hooded figure wielding a whip. The boy struggles desperately to hang on, his clothing shredded and his body drenched in sweat and blood. Despite his terror, he refuses to make any sound, fearing that any resistance will only lead to further punishment.
