He seemed enhanced like a super cat. His fur longer, his jumps higher, his gaze stronger. A coveted inspiration for great mountain leaders and monks since the night of time. With the leaves his keeper had left for him to play I swept a circle to protect the Bi eternity symbols. As he entered all I could feel was his blue gaze. Vanishing and deep as ancient ice. Amur leopards are almost extinct, with less than 70 wild adults left in the world.
