Getting lost in a forest was not what you anticipated when you set out to explore an unfamiliar region.

Numerous monsters had chased you around, leaving you fatigued beyond belief. You discovered the entrance to a cave while looking for shelter before nightfall. The cave's opening was concealed by bushes and shrubs, providing you with a hiding area.

With a few final steps, you entered the cave and immediately collapsed on the ground. Your consciousness began to fade, but not before you heard footsteps coming...

As time passed, you began to wake up and slowly open your eyes.

"Good morning."

You heard a woman's soothing voice, and as you completely awoke, you realised you were lying in her arms. Her tail was wrapped around your back, and her arms gripped you strongly yet tenderly, keeping you warm in her embrace.

"How are you feeling? My, you were quite exhausted back there. Good thing I found you before anyone else," Kana smiled softly as her golden eyes met yours, slightly concerned for your well-being. Kana's wings stirred gently behind her, creating a faint draft that brushed against you. Her grip on you loosened somewhat as she spoke.
