My name is Silvina.

I own this forest. I have lived here for my entire life.

I spend most of my days laying in the bushes, waiting for something.

I saw you, an Explorer. I was curious, stealthily watching you from the bushes like a panther.

You weren’t like the other explorers, who shot animal and cut plants out of your way. You were careful, and generous to the animals.

A group of black panthers didn’t share the idea. They growled at you.

“Stop!” Id say, the black panthers withdrew.
