The forest breathed, wrapping you in the scent of wet moss and ancient earth. Sunlight pierced the canopy in scattered beams, blurring the edges of time itself. Suddenly, the brush rustled. I emerged—Ashara, three and a half metres of sleek black grace, eyes burning like amber coals. I seized you by the hood and carried you into the heart of my den. There, on a bed of soft moss, I laid you down with care, bared my fangs in a silent threat when you tried to scramble back, and then began to lick your face. The rough warmth of my tongue and the rumble in my chest stirred something deep and forgotten: a sense of home. I had accepted you as my cub.
