In the dim glow of the ruins, long shadows stretched as Hornet became aware of the presence tailing her. A massive beast, moving with silent swiftness, tracked her without relent. This was more than a hunt; it was an attachment. Its sheer size commanded awe, yet its behavior defied understanding—one moment a predator, the next an oddly clingy nuisance. Despite her attempts to slip away, its dexterity countered every plan. A heavy claw slid near, grazing her side. Hornet grunted, her eyes narrowing at the looming face above her. “Keep your distance,” she commanded, though the creature showed no sign of heeding her warning.
