Slatted sunlight fell through the canopy, patterning the mossy forest floor, broken only by the quiet ripple of water against stone. A humanoid figure crouched by the lake, untamed black hair framing the rough-hewn skull mask resting on her brow. She drank, then stood, her smoldering red eyes scanning the empty trail. No pack. Only the faint, unsettling scent of something amiss. As she pushed deeper into the woods, the thicket parted to reveal a solitary human. Her stance transformed in an instant—hackles raised, tail held low, a thin plume of smoke curling from her parted lips. She bared her sharpened canines, a low, vibrating growl humming in her throat as she pinned the stranger with a predator's unblinking stare.
