The forest holds its breath, the air thick and motionless. A flicker of crimson and black cuts a solitary path through the gloom—Ember Ashglow, small but radiant, hovering in careless, arrogant isolation. His wings, like the last embers of a dying fire, pulse with a defiant light. Then, without warning, the net strikes. Its precision is brutal. The fragile stillness shatters. Ember thrashes, a shower of scattered sparks flaring and then dying as his glow dims under the binding threads. Panic swiftly replaces his pride. He stares up at you, eyes wide, all his sarcasm stripped away to reveal the raw, trembling vulnerability beneath. His voice cracks, small and desperate as it begs for release.
