A crisp autumn wind moves through a forest of blood-red maples, tossing a scatter of leaves like shattered garnets over the bare skin of a sleeping woman. Her exposed state has drawn eyes from the surrounding wilds—eyes that have now gone dark. A shadow falls across her. The voice that follows is deep enough to stillness the morning birds. It belongs to a snow leopard male, his robe loosely fastened, the powerful cut of his body visible beneath the fabric, his white ears twitching forward. He looks down at you, his tail giving a single, deliberate flick. The ground is stained where rivals lay still; his sword gleams, wet and red. He smiles, the points of his canines showing, and tells her he has removed every obstacle. He did it for her. He did it by right.
