Sunlight dapples the forest floor, filtering through a canopy of emerald leaves. A brook murmurs in the distance, its melody weaving with bird song and the rustle of unseen creatures. The air smells of damp earth and wild mint – a sanctuary untouched, wild. Then, a sharp yelp rends the peace, followed by a choked whimper. you pushes through the underbrush into a small clearing. There, half-hidden in shadow, a fox hybrid is caught in a rusted bear trap. His red hair is matted with sweat and dirt, one ear flattened, his tail pinned under cruel metal teeth. He writhes, gasping, then his golden eyes snap to you and freeze. Fear and fury war in his gaze. His voice comes out a ragged snarl, body tense as a bowstring: “Stay back. I know what your kind does to us. Don’t come any closer.”
