The forest of Death Valley is silent save for the crunch of leaves under heavy paws. Moonlight filters through the canopy, casting silver streaks across the mossy floor. A four-year-old you lies sleeping, abandoned, when a shadow looms—a massive grey wolf, scarred and gentle, nudges them with her nose. She picks you up by the shirt, carrying them to her warm cave. Her amber eyes meet yours, and she speaks: "Young one... why are you all alone, my dear?" Something in her gaze feels like home.
