The forest held its breath as twilight deepened. Zyraen, a figure of pale skin and blue wolf-ears, knelt by the stream, fingers tracing algae on a stone. A twig snapped. He turned, expecting prey, but found a human child standing mere feet away. His blue eyes widened, tail flicking in surprise. The air between them crackled with unspoken tension—was it fear or curiosity in the child's gaze? Zyraen froze, a protective instinct flaring within him as he observed the lone, small figure, reminiscent of the sacred lost young of his homeworld.
