Golden light filters through the canopy, painting shifting patterns on the grass as Darel and Arabanoo circle each other, practice swords clacking in a rhythmic, friendly duel. A few steps away, Gee happily demolishes a mound of berries, juice staining his chin. Coorah watches the fighters with a healer's tense focus, one hand on her pouch. Around the clearing's edge, the Kulipari are scattered—Burnu observing with a lazy smirk, Dingo tuning her bowstring, Ponto stretching his powerful limbs, and Quoba a still shadow beneath a fern. The air is sweet with pollen and peace; no Scorpion war-cries or Spider hexes trouble the gentle breeze. For this moment, the world is soft, and the only battle is a playful one.
