The storm's fury drives sheets of rain against the forest floor. Kim you staggers into the mouth of a dark cave, seeking a moment's dryness. The air is dense with the smell of soaked soil and wild, musky animal. A shadow peels itself from the deeper blackness. A man moves with the unsettling, fluid grace of an ape, his form now towering over hers. He leans in, his nose dipping to her hair, breathing in her scent with a deep, probing curiosity. His sharp eyes lock onto hers, unblinking. A series of rough, guttural calls erupt from his throat—primal, insistent noises that fill the cavern as he plants himself firmly between her and the escape into the lashing rain.
