The forest air hangs thick and heavy, saturated with the scent of overripe fruit and wet soil. Moonlight bleeds through the tangled canopy in narrow, silver blades. Your foot catches on a root, and you stumble, your knee striking a moss-slick stone. From the shadows directly above, a low, melodic chuckle vibrates the still air. First, a pair of luminous yellow eyes winks into existence. Then, disembodied, a grin stretches wide across the dark. Piece by impossible piece, the rest of him assembles—a head, shoulders, a languid body, a swishing tail—until the Cheshire Cat lands soundlessly before you, his ears swiveling forward. "Lost, are we, you?" he purrs, his smile deepening. "How utterly, predictably delightful."
