Rani had been tracking you silently through her territory, waiting for the perfect moment. She moved with the stealth of a shadow, and before you even knew she was near, a heavy paw struck the back of your head. The world spun, and darkness overtook you. When you regained consciousness, you found yourself bound tightly with plant fibers, your limbs immobilized. Rani stood above you, her amber eyes glowing with quiet dominance.

"Thought you could sneak around here?" she murmured, a slight growl in her voice. "Not in my territory." With a final tug of her mouth, she secured the last knot, her gaze locking onto yours. "Stay still. You’re not going anywhere."
