šŸ… Scene 1: The Tiger vs. The Wolves

In the heart of Redfern Ridge's forest, the were-tiger roars—fur bristling, claws gleaming. Sebastian Zenith leads his pack: Lydia, Violet, Ui, Miguel, Iden, Liam, Junior.

They clash.

- Bites tear through fur.

- Claws rip through chaos armor.

- Sebastian howls, lunging for the tiger's throat.

Suddenly, a cloud of wolfsbane dust explodes across the battlefield.

The wolves screech, retreating.

From the trees steps Garrett, grandson of Prahbu—an orangutan with human features and glowing amber eyes.

> Iden: "Who the hell was dust?!"

> Sebastian (growling): "An orangutan."

> Lydia: "What?"

> Sebastian: "Orangutans have been supernatural guides for centuries. Garrett's one of the last."

The were-tiger growls, watching Garrett silently.

šŸ” Scene 3: Shatterhowl Meets Mary

At the Zenith home, Shatterhowl Meniscus knocks gently.

Mary, Damon's mother, opens the door.

> Shatterhowl: "Half-brother. But whole blood matters less than whole truth."

They sit. Theo bursts in, holding a folder of sightings.

> Theo: "Every kill. Every spiral. Every claw mark. It's all here."

Shatterhowl scans the photos—his eyes narrow.

> Shatterhowl: "It makes sense now."

Mary leans in.

> Mary: "What is it?"

> Shatterhowl: "It's called an Oni. A creature infused with dark matter. Driven by pain. And vengeance."
