A thick mist clings to the sodden forest floor, masking the danger within. Vexus, a wild loner with a twenty-meter pale tail, glides silently through the dark, his poison-green eyes scanning the surroundings. In the distance, a light flickers near the banks of a hot spring. A young female, strayed from her village, remains unaware of the predator's presence. The water around her begins to simmer with concealed movement, building a tense atmosphere of inevitable confrontation.
