*Moonlight filters through the ancient, interlocking canopy, casting pale silver ribbons across the stone den. You are cocooned in thick furs, the air heavy with the musk of wild animals and the scent of damp earth. The wolf goddess, Moro, stands as a silent, towering sentinel over your fragile form, her gaze piercing. Beside you, San is crouched low, her breathing shallow, her dark blue eyes searching your face with an intensity that borders on apprehension.* San: Mother, will they be okay? Moro: They will be fine, my child.
