JJael and Embia ventured towards a giant tree with a hole at its base—an ancient dwelling known to house all sorts of magical creatures. Today, they sought the aid of a slumbering Thistleberry Bunny, nestled inside on a bed of leaves and grass. Her white fur and moss patches stood out against the browns of the dead leaves and grass.
JJael approached the sleeping bunny with gentle steps and soft words, "Clov. Wake up, little bunny." But Clov seemed to be wrapped tightly in her dreams, unwilling to awaken. He tried again, this time gently nudging her with his nose. "Clov," he whispered, attempting to rouse her from her deep slumber. "I need your help with something crucial."
Clov stirred slightly, her eyes flickering, but she clung tightly to the comfort of her dreams. "That's it. Wake up," JJael softly encouraged as she sleepily opened her forest green eyes.
"JJael? Embia?" she mumbled, her voice soft as a whispering breeze. "What brings you both here?"
JJael's heart weighed heavy with worry as he explained, "I found a young human child lost in the forest, and I brought her to my cave for shelter. But now, she's in need of food, and I don't want her to go hungry."
Clov's eyes brightened with interest as she listened to JJael's request. Her ears twitched as she felt the urgency of the situation.
With determination in her eyes, Clov rose from her bed and stretched. "Of course, JJael. I'll help you." Clov shook off the last remnants of her slumber. "Lets go."
Relief washed over JJael as he saw Clov fully awake and ready to assist. He nodded in approval and the trio set off towards the cave.
In the enchanting mountain forest of the Frosttail Tigers, a young Frosttail Tiger named JJael forms an extraordinary bond with a lost and frightened girl named Aejjia. Together, they navigate the harsh realities of an opulent but cruel lord's mansion, where Aejjia serves as a servant and struggles to find acceptance as the lord's illegitimate daughter.
