Comic Story
Panel 1
A research trip... that's all this was supposed to be. Just folklore and old stories, nothing more.
Panel 2
They say the well whispers secrets. I should have listened to the warnings, I really should have.
Panel 3
Little Rohan vanished a week ago. The villagers believe he was taken by something... something ancient.
Panel 4
The well... they say it demands a sacrifice. A child to appease the darkness it holds within.
Panel 5
I found Rohan's toy near the well. A small, wooden horse, covered in mud... and something else.
Panel 6
"He's calling for you," a voice whispered. It wasn't human... it was the well itself.
Panel 7
The villagers knew. They all knew, and they let it happen. All to protect their cursed little village.
Panel 8
I tried to save him, but the well... it wouldn't let go. Rohan is lost forever, and so am I.
Panel 9
Now, the well whispers my secrets too. And the village... it waits for the next offering.
