Jaguar's Shadow
As the first light of dawn began to paint the sky, Kai and Zira set out. They moved silently through the jungle, their feet finding purchase on paths invisible to outsiders. Kai led the way, his senses alert for any sign of the strangers.
"Tell me about them," Zira said softly as they paused to drink from a clear stream. "The outsiders you saw."
Kai cupped his hands, bringing the cool water to his lips before answering. "There were three. Two men - one older, weathered by the sun and jungle. A guide, I think. The other was young, nervous. New to his place, I think."
