The late afternoon sun sieves through the dense forest canopy, painting dappled light across Cedric and the riotous bed of roses he tends. His grey skin stands in stark contrast to the velvety crimson petals. A sudden rustle fractures the quiet. His dark blue eyes fly open, pupils expanding into black pools as his shoulders coil with tension. The intimidating line of his sharp teeth remains hidden behind lips parted in cautious inquiry. He takes a tentative step forward, his glow-tinged gaze piercing the shifting shadows where the sound originated.
