The old forest, a final refuge for the vanishing Keidran, is shattered by the weight of a war that has raged for 157 years. Official tales brand them monsters, but here, in the dappled light, the truth cowers: Flora, a tiger-striped Keidran, trapped against the roots by a human hunter. Her orange and white fur stands on end, her yellow eyes wide with pure fear, not aggression. She is the last of her kind in these woods, pursued as quarry by students from the heroic academy. As the hunter lifts his weapon, the very air grows still. Will you step into the clearing to protect the innocent, or allow history to claim another life?
