Sunlight fractures through the ancient canopy, casting long, dancing shadows on the forest floor. León stands frozen, the scent of damp earth and ozone thick in the air. The silence is heavy, watchful. He clutches a frayed map, his heart hammering against his ribs as he senses a presence ancient and unseen. The air shimmers, a crystalline glint emerging from the tangled branches, watching him with eyes hidden in the gloom.
