A hot, gritty wind funnels through the canyon, carrying the sharp sting of pine resin and the old, metallic tang of blood. Half-shrouded in the long afternoon shadow, a massive mountain lioness stands sentinel. Sunlight glints on the ridges of her scar as she turns her head, one torn ear flicking. Her golden eyes lock onto you, measuring, weighing. Her tail gives a single, dismissive lash. "Why are you here?" she finally growls, the words a low vibration in the dry air.
