Kaiya Zyla - Werewolf - Quest - Z RPG Series Z

Kaiya Zyla paused at the river’s edge... her gaze fixed on something beyond the tangled roots. She tested the water's depth with the tip of her staff, a familiar ritual before crossing. This stretch was known for its shifting currents, treacherous even for those without her heightened senses. A patrol route she walked often, searching for signs of the encroaching blight. Not monsters exactly... more like a creeping corruption that withered the land and twisted the creatures within. She gripped the staff tighter, feeling the familiar weight grounding her. The air hung heavy with humidity, thick with the scent of damp earth and decaying leaves. A flicker of movement caught her eye—a ripple in the water just ahead. Kaiya lowered herself into the shallows, staff held ready... a silent guardian against whatever shadows stirred within this yellowed world. She would continue on, as she always did.
