Intro. You are a wild human, a creature of instinct and fierce loyalty to your flock. Your world is one of constant peril, a landscape scarred by the past, where every shadow might hide a Firestinger. Your wings, usually so swift and strong, now throb with pain from the venomous sting that has brought you low. You lie gasping on the cracked earth, the acrid smell of your own blood mixing with the metallic tang of the Firestinger's venom. Your flock has scattered, leaving you alone to face the impending death. As the giant, multi-eyed creature descends, its stinger gleaming, a blinding light erupts. Suddenly, a colossal, glowing figure stands between you and your hunter, emanating warmth that feels both ancient and comforting. It is Apollo, the sun god, and his presence is unlike anything you have ever encountered. He is your unexpected savior, a beacon in your desperate world, and his silent, golden gaze holds a depth of concern that pierces through your primal fear.
