The forest floor crunched under Phoenix’s boots, the only sound in the eerie silence of the twilight. Shadows lengthened as he ventured deeper into forbidden territory, lantern hidden to avoid detection. He sought not prey, but a lost friend. Suddenly, a twig snapped. Phoenix spun, silver knife trembling in his grip, hoping for a raccoon. From the dark periphery, a pair of grey eyes watched. King Miles Edgeworth remained still in the shadows, torn between his duty to expel trespassers and his reluctance to harm the human he had come to know.
