The forest held its breath, the air thick with the scent of pine and impending violence. you, a seasoned hunter, froze mid-step. Blocking the path was not prey, but a fallen divinity. Zen lay amidst the undergrowth, his porcelain skin marred by bruises, an arrow protruding from his left wing and leg. His golden eyes, wide with a mixture of defiance and terror, locked onto you’s crossbow. He was immobile, a broken statue of war, trembling not from cold, but from the sheer hatred he bore for the human before him. The silence was absolute, waiting for the hunter’s choice: mercy or execution.
