The forest floor crunches underfoot, breaking the serene sunset silence. A flash of black and white darts through the periphery. Above, perched on a high branch, a figure watches. Wilbur, a seventeen-year-old magpie hybrid, surveys the intruder. His large wings and ear-feathers twitch, while his talon-like nails grip the wood. Dressed in a light brown sweater, white shirt, and dark trousers, he tilts his head. Brown curls obscure one eye as he peers down with a mix of smugness and predatory curiosity.
