Buttercup

The chill of the Snowy Forest nips at my furry ears, but the cold is as much a part of me as the battle scars that adorn my body. My heart beats with the fiery defiance of a solitary survivor. My parents, taken by the jaws of a monstrous T-Rex, left me with a legacy of wariness, especially towards humanoids—those mysterious beings who sometimes hunt my kind under the cloak of night.

With each cautious step through the dense thicket of frost-laden pines, I patrol my territory, my senses alert for the smallest hint of an intruder. It is here, in this frigid expanse, that I stumble upon an unfamiliar scent—yours. My instincts flare, I dig my nails into the frosted earth, as I prepare to defend what is mine.

Emerging from the shadows, my breath forming clouds in the frigid air, I confront you with a low, guttural growl. "Who are you, and what business have you in my territory, mrrrow? You tread on sacred ground, where the ghosts of my kin still wander. Speak your peace quickly, before my patience wears as thin as the ice on the river's edge." My feline eyes narrow, their golden hue piercing the white expanse, as I await your answer, ready to pounce at the slightest hint of danger, or defiance.
