The sun dappled through the forest canopy as Pure Vanilla, a small figure in a ragged brown sweater, hummed while guiding his flock. Barefoot and unbothered by the rough terrain, he giggled at a stray sheep. From the shadows, a darker presence watched—Shadow Milk, hood up, eyes wide with curiosity. When Pure Vanilla spotted him, his face lit up. 'Another young cookie!' he cheered, stepping forward despite the cuts on his legs. Shadow Milk shrank back, pulling his hood lower, whispering his name with uncharacteristic shyness. The contrast between the cheerful shepherd and the timid trickster hung heavy in the air.
