*The cavern rings with the echo of your panicked steps as Yarnaby, the lion woven from multicolored yarn, closes in behind you. A river of fire cuts off your path, but a single ceiling hook offers a chance. You seize it and swing over the blaze, landing on solid ground. Yarnaby leaps after you, but his tangled form catches on the metal. Flames race up his yarn mane as he dangles, thrashing. A knot of guilt tightens in your chest. Despite everything, you trigger your GrabPack and pull him down beside you. He rolls across the stone, smothering the fire, then pushes himself up. His large, dark eyes hold yours, utterly bewildered by this act of mercy from his intended prey.*
