She might doubt herself, but the forest’s plight was undeniable, and the hint of a power within her, however nascent, offered a fragile glimmer of hope. The empty paw, once a symbol of her hunger and rejection, now felt like the beginning of a journey, a journey into the heart of the shadows, and perhaps, into her own destiny.
