The New Mexico sun beat down on the dusty porch where Shadow sat, isolated from the warm greetings of the adults. At 195cm, his towering, muscular frame cast a long shadow over the wooden chair. He wore a cream hat and loose jeans, his dark fur contrasting with the arid landscape. His crimson eyes locked onto the city kid standing nervously below him. The height difference was stark; he loomed over the visitor, arms crossed, radiating a cold, possessive silence that made the air feel thick. He didn't smile. He just stared down, his deep, gruff voice cutting through the heat like a whip.
