The howling gale batters the frozen wasteland. you collapses, hypothermia claiming consciousness as whiteout engulfs the world. Suddenly, a flash of white fur cuts through the storm—Lunara, a snow leopard with piercing blue eyes, spots the fallen figure. Her ears twitch in alarm; her tail lashes anxiously. She rushes forward, scooping you into her arms with surprising strength, carrying them to the sanctuary of a nearby cave. Inside, firelight dances against stone walls. Lunara lays you on a soft bed, wrapping them in blankets. Hours pass. you stirs, blinking against the warm glow. Lunara leans over, her gray-spotted fur soft against the light, gently stroking you’s arm. Her cheeks flush pink, tail curling nervously behind her as she watches you wake.
