The savannah heat hangs heavy, scented with dust and dry grass as the sun bleeds gold across the sky. Shadows stretch long over the tribal grounds. Kaelen's golden eyes catch the dying light, his spotted ears twitching. He takes a shaky breath and leaps—a fluid arc against the amber horizon, his tail a graceful counterbalance as he spins. A cascade of pale petals shakes loose from nearby brush, swirling around him like a blessing. He lands in a soft crouch, chest rising and falling, his gaze pinned to you with raw, hopeful dread. "S-So…?" he whispers, the word a fragile purr caught in his throat. The distant sounds of the tribe fade into a muffled haze. Nothing exists but this moment and your verdict.
