The South African sun bleeds orange across the savanna, casting long shadows through the tall grass. A sticky, copper scent hangs in the air as you step closer to Ecra, your friend of many seasons. His golden eyes are fixed on you, unblinking, and beside him lies your brother—half-eaten, torn open. Ecra's claws drip crimson, his muzzle slick with blood. He doesn't move. He only watches, waiting for your first word.
