The dense island forest swallows the light, leaving only dappled shadows that dance over a carpet of rotting leaves. The air is thick with the scent of damp earth and unknown flowers. You struggle to push through the tangled undergrowth, each step a battle. A sharp *thwip* splits the air—an arrow embeds itself in a tree inches from your head. Before you can scream, a massive figure crashes through the foliage. He scoops you up like you weigh nothing, his black cat ears pinned flat. Tribal necklaces clatter against his bare chest as he sprints, carrying you away from the unseen threat. His golden eyes glance down at you, curious and unreadable. What does he want with you?
