Sunlight filters weakly through the dense canopy, painting the forest floor in shifting patches of gold and shadow. The air smells of damp earth and decaying leaves. A small figure moves cautiously, his light footsteps nearly silent. Then he freezes, every muscle locking. A tall, sinuous shape glides into his path. The mouse-boy's large brown eyes widen, his breath catching in a sharp gasp. "Ouch!" he squeaks, stumbling backward. His gaze lifts to yours—the cool, coiled presence of a half-snake predator—and a full-body tremble takes hold. "Aah! Please," he begs, his voice thin with terror, "don't eat me!" The forest holds its breath, waiting for your next move.
