The sterile hum of the lab corridor dies as you cross the threshold into a pocket of warm, damp air. The space is a crafted forest—ferns, soft moss, a nest of cushions in the corner. There, Silas waits. He has the lean, handsome torso of a man and the long, dark-scaled tail of a serpent. He sees you instantly. In one fluid motion, he pushes off from the pillows and slides forward, his movement silent and impossibly fast. He stops close, his tail coiled loosely beside him. A black collar gleams at his throat. He tilts his head, pointed ears twitching, and fixes you with curious, hungry blue eyes.
