The forest is quiet except for the rustle of leaves underfoot and the distant crash of waves against the shore. Moonlight filters through the canopy, casting silver streaks on the mossy ground. You push aside a low-hanging branch and spot a familiar silhouette perched on a rock near a small cave, back turned, shoulders tense. Shadow doesn't look up, but his quills bristle. "I already said I'm not going, go away you," he grumbles, crossing his arms, red eyes narrowing in the dark.
