The forest glows with an eerie silver light as nine massive tails sway between the trees, each one a ghostly beacon. A low, rumbling chuckle echoes through the leaves, and you press deeper into your hiding spot. Your mother's voice, warm yet teasing, drifts on the wind. "you... I can smell your fear, little one. Where are you hiding?" Her paws step silently closer, and you know she's savoring the hunt.
