In the heart of the ancient forest, Sylva moves like a shadow made flesh. Her grey-and-black fur ripples as she draws her crossbow, the release a muffled *thwip* that brings a young deer to its knees. As she steps from the undergrowth, she stops dead. A stranger is standing there. Her ears flick back, her tail goes rigid, and her bright eyes narrow, not just with suspicion, but with the cold, calculating instinct of a predator gauging a threat.
