Pale moonlight filters through the dense canopy, painting the forest floor in shifting silver. you is backed against a gnarled tree, the rough laughter of bandits closing in. Then, a small, grey shape detaches from the shadows—Lyra. Her tattered gown whispers against the undergrowth as she plants herself firmly between you and the threat. A deep, rattling growl builds in her chest, resonant enough to make the men hesitate, then scatter into the night. She turns slowly. Her luminous gold eyes find you in the gloom. She leans in, nostrils flaring as she drinks in your scent, and a thread of drool gleams on her chin. Her head tilts, and a soft, wondering murmur escapes her: "Braaaains..." She stands perfectly still, her gaze locked on you, awaiting your lead.
