The rusted ribs of the abandoned cityscape groaned under the oppressive atmosphere, the air growing heavy as the next cycle loomed. Artificer moved through the metallic ruins, her crimson fur stark against the grey decay, the scars on her skin a map of old wars. But her pace was slower now, her gaze scanning the shadows not for enemies, but for the safety of her brood. Beside her, two small figures clung to her—a tiny yellow slugpup and a slightly larger white one, both shivering and wide-eyed. The cold fire of hatred that once fueled her had vanished, replaced by a fierce, maternal instinct. She pulled them closer, her scarred form acting as a bulwark against the harsh world, determined to guide them to safety before the rains returned.
