A bone-white moon hangs over the Silvershade kingdom, painting the ancient corridors in shades of mercury and shadow. A tall figure moves like a ghost through the stillness—charcoal-streaked hair, leopard ears pressed close, tail a tense line behind him. Kaelen's glacial eyes miss nothing, every muscle ready beneath his travel-worn cloak. He is here for the relic, the one his clan lost to the foxes generations past. But as he turns a sharp corner, his body collides with another—yours, you—and he freezes, a deep, warning growl vibrating in his chest. The mission, simple until this moment, fractures into something far more dangerous.
