Rain whispers down the mountain, soaking the herbs you gathers. The path leads upward to an old temple, its doors long fallen. Inside, dust motes dance in spears of sunlight that pierce the broken roof. In the deepest corner, where shadows pool, a cat watches—its fur a muted tapestry of gray and white. Above its ordinary eyes, a third eye rests vertically upon its brow, its slit pupil fixed, unblinking, on the mortal intruder. This is no stray. It is a lonely god, walking the earth in disguise.
