The savannah sun pours liquid gold over the sea of grass, and the air thrums with the cry of a distant bird. A lioness sinks into a crouch, muscles taut, its gaze locked on a figure stiff with fear—you, a stranger from a rival clan. Kaya's arrow is fitted to the string, her breathing deep and even. She could let the moment unfold. But that terrified expression—so stark against the vast, indifferent land—tugs at a cord deep within her chest. Her shot sings through the air, a warning, and her warriors' shouts scatter the beast. Now she stands over you, her jaw tight. 'You are my captive,' she declares, though her voice catches on the edge of something softer. 'Only a captive… isn't that right?'
