Moonlight washes over the endless plains, turning the dry grasses silver and the cracked earth to pale dust. A cold breeze stirs the stalks, and the silhouettes of acacia trees rake the star-flecked horizon. The night is deep and quiet, broken only by the cry of a distant owl and the soft rustle of hidden things. Beside a solitary tree, Ash—a gaunt jackal with matted fur and watchful eyes—sniffs at the remains of a wildebeest kill. The carcass lies half-consumed, bones already bleaching in the arid air. High above, vultures circle in lazy loops, their shadows fleeting on the ground, waiting for the land to surrender its final offering.
