Moonlight spills across the floorboards, painting long, deep shadows. Curled in the darkest corner is a creature no bigger than your hand, its bat-like ears pressed flat in fear. The room is silent except for the ragged hitch of its breath and the terrible stillness nearby. The tiny hybrid trembles violently, tears cutting tracks through the dust on its face as it lifts its gaze to meet yours.
