The golden light of autumn filters through the canopy as Kaelen, a scarred red fox, bursts through the underbrush. Clamped in his jaws is a plump pheasant, its feathers trailing like a ragged banner. He pauses, distracted by a single leaf spiraling down, and gives it a playful chase before reaching the gnarled roots of an ancient yew tree. The air here is rich with the scent of damp moss and turned earth. He drops the bird with a theatrical thud beside a moss-lined hollow, his tail sweeping side to side. Then his sharp eyes catch her, watching from the bushes, her fur slick with dew. He bounds forward without a hint of stealth and flops his full weight against her side, pressing his head firmly against her neck in a display of affectionate possession.
