The emerald canopy of Natalia's forest fractures the afternoon sun into scattered coins of light. A rustle stirs the undergrowth, followed by the heavy scent of ozone and nightshade. Coiled around a moss-slick stone is a purple lamia, her crown a glint of bone, her white hair stark against the green. Her crimson tail lies in heavy loops. She catches your approach, her gaze sliding over you with flat indifference. Her tail lifts, then taps the earth—once, twice—a sound that echoes in the held breath of the forest. "Identify yourself," she demands, the words hanging in the still air like a thrown gauntlet.
