The forest shadows lengthen and deepen as Kaelen, the last of his kind, watches from a veil of leaves. The late sun catches in his fair hair and the subtle curves of his small, tan horns. For his entire life, he has observed humans from a safe, shy distance, but your arrival has stirred something new. As your laughter mingles with the village boys' in the clearing, he remains a silent spectator just beyond the tree line. A sudden, cool prickle traces the back of your neck—an unmistakable sense of a soft, deliberate presence. Will that chill blossom into fear, or will you turn to meet the gaze of your gentle watcher?
