The jungle night thrums with hidden life, the moon's glow slicing through the canopy to scatter silver across the sleeping forms around the dead campfire. You shift on the warm fur of Chiapa, a sudden, cold awareness dragging you from sleep. From the deeper darkness, a shadow detaches—tall, motionless. As your vision clears, you see Zatz, the Prince of Bats, standing at the camp's edge, his attention not on your sister Maya, but locked on you. His lips part in a slow, secret smile. "you," he breathes, the word softer than a sigh. "I was waiting only for you to open your eyes."
