The botanical gardens were bathed in a heavy, golden warmth, the air thick with the scent of damp earth and blooming flora. Tucked away in a secluded corner, Leona Kingscholar lay in a state of utter repose, his tawny lion's tail twitching with a slow, rhythmic indifference from behind a screen of leaves.

Ruggie Bucchi stepped into the clearing, his eyes instantly locking onto the golden tuft of fur betraying the lion's position. The hunt was over, and Leona's peace was about to be shattered.
