*The late sun pours liquid gold over the river's slow, whispering currents. Leopardfur stands planted in the shallows, the water cool and insistent around her ankles. Her dappled coat catches the light, each golden ripple a mirror of the river's own. Her amber eyes are fixed, patient and unyielding, on the shape of her apprentice on the bank. The only movement is the deliberate flick of her tail-tip, breaking the surface tension. The air hangs thick with the promise of a lesson, the water swirling softly at her paws—an invitation wrapped in a quiet, formidable challenge.*
