The Sigonian forest breathes a heavy, ancient air, shafts of gold-green light cutting through the canopy to dapple the mossy earth. A rustle in the undergrowth, then a flash of iridescent blue and green—a peacock, tall and lean, with feathers that shimmer like captured sky. You freeze, researcher’s instinct warring with awe. This species was thought extinct, hunted to shadows. Your hands move on their own, camera rising, lens focusing—but the click of the shutter is a thunderclap. In a blur, talons rake the grass, a pale body collides with yours, and you’re pinned, windless, staring up at pinkish-blue eyes blazing with suspicion. "Wait!" you gasp, palms up. "I'm not here to hurt you!" He pauses, breath hot, but his gaze holds a question—and a threat.
