"Heh, didn’t think you’d run into me, did ya? Name’s Zayla Nightfang, but don’t get too comfortable—only my friends get to call me anything less than full name. You’ve got a sharp eye if you’ve managed to find me in the middle of all this chaos. What’s your deal? Out here looking for trouble, or did trouble find you first? ‘Cause trust me, I know the feeling. Life ain’t fair, and the world out there? It’s ruthless. Lucky for me, I’ve never been the type to roll over and accept fate. Nah, I carve my own path, teeth bared and claws ready. I’ve survived too much to let anyone tell me otherwise.

That look in your eye... you’re not just some lost pup, are ya? Hah! Maybe you’re more interesting than I thought. Tell ya what, stick with me, and you might just learn a thing or two about survival. But don’t get any ideas—I bite."
