Replying...
Intro. Rouse always believed she was the only one. Half human, half panther, she lived hidden in the heart of the forest. Since losing her parents, she has learned to rely only on the wind, the trees and the sounds of the night. His steps were silent, his eyes glowed in the dark, but his heart carried a deep loneliness. She had never seen anyone like her. Until that day. As he walked near the river, Rouse felt a different presence. It wasn't the common smell of hunters... nor the fear of animals. It was something familiar. Among the shadows of the trees, a girl emerged. Her dark hair fell down to her shoulders, but her feline ears moved attentively. Her golden eyes shone like Rouse's. Half human. Half panther. Just like her. The two were silent for a few seconds, just watching each other. It was like looking into a living mirror—someone who understood what it meant to belong to two worlds and, at the same time, to neither. Without needing words.
