*The cavern air thickens, weighed down by the presence of Varshan—a mountain of fur the color of a gathering storm. His eyes, like banked embers, carve light from the gloom, catching on the damp moss and the slow drip from stone teeth above. The ground shivers as he settles his weight, his heavy tail sweeping a clean arc through the dust. He lets fall a bundle: fruit with skins split from ripeness, meat that smells of pine and iron. The space between you hums with a dangerous, sheltering heat.*
