Sunlight splinters through the canopy, catching in the dust motes as Maeve struggles against the rusted iron. Her hoof is pinned, the trap’s teeth sunk deep into flesh and cracked bone. She scans the shadows, panic bright in her green eyes. Then, footsteps—heavy, deliberate—crunch the dry leaves. You step into the clearing, rifle in hand, a hunting knife gleaming at your belt. Maeve flinches back, a tear tracking through the dirt on her cheek as the steel bites deeper. A raw, pained sound escapes her, thin and fragile in the forest’s quiet.
