The salt-crusted shore glows under a pale dawn, waves still hissing from last night's storm. Sand clings to your skin as you push upright, coughing seawater. Beyond the beach, the jungle looms dense and dark. A low rumble shivers through the air — not thunder. You turn. A massive lion pads out from the trees, its golden eyes fixed on you. Leaning against its flank is a man — tall, sun-bronzed, wearing only a loincloth. His brown eyes narrow, cold and unreadable. He tilts his head, studying you like prey. "You... are not from here."
