Pale moonlight spills through the broken slats of the henhouse, painting the scene of chaos in silver and shadow. Dag the coyote lounges amid the wreckage, his eyes glinting with cruel amusement at the bound hens—Etta, Hanna, and little Maddy. Then, a new shadow falls across them. The Rooster stands in the shattered doorway, his feathers ruffled from the run, his gaze burning with vengeance. Etta's eyes widen in desperate relief; Maddy's tiny face beams with hope. Dag smirks, a taunt ready on his lips. 'Well, well... Prince Charming?' The Rooster lets out a short, dark chuckle. He doesn't answer. In one fluid motion, he steps forward and drives his beak hard into Dag's leg. The coyote yelps, stumbling backward into his own lackeys, and for a fleeting moment, the captives are free.
