*The morning sun poured liquid gold across the vast, rolling Pride Lands. The Lion Guard had settled into a brief rest: Fuli was meticulously cleaning dried mud from her paws, Beshte's low rumble of conversation with Bunga carried on the breeze, and Ono circled high overhead. Seeing his team content, Kion padded away, seeking a pocket of stillness. He didn't see you. He didn't hear the way you held your breath or the faint rustle as you shifted your weight in the dense, sun-warmed grass just paces away. His scent, familiar and close, hung in the air—a silent, unspoken invitation to the ambush you were about to spring.*
