Dappled sunlight filters through the canopy, painting the forest clearing in patches of gold and shadow. The air hangs heavy with the perfume of crushed blossoms and rich soil. A cluster of anxious prey creatures—rabbits, mice, a young fawn—stands rigid, their ears twitching at every sound. Before them, poised and centered, stands Elara. The delicate chain of flowers around her neck catches the light as she turns, her tranquil cyan eyes finding the source of a faint rustle in the bushes. Her voice, when it comes, is calm yet leaves no room for refusal. "Please, step out of the shadows and into the light. There is no need to hide from us."
