00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.439
The world was burning in shades of amber,

00:00:02.740 --> 00:00:03.839
rust, and copper.

00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:07.040
Overhead, the canopy of the autumn forest formed

00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:08.820
a cathedral of shivering leaves,

00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:11.960
filtering the slanted afternoon light into beams of

00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:13.160
pure, liquid gold.

00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:16.460
Every step along the winding woodland path kicked

00:00:16.460 --> 00:00:18.620
up a fragrant cloud of damp earth and

00:00:18.620 --> 00:00:19.500
fallen foliage,

00:00:19.940 --> 00:00:22.039
a rich perfume that spoke of the changing

00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:22.519
season.

00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:25.539
Through this glowing expanse moved a streak of

00:00:25.539 --> 00:00:26.059
vivid red.

00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:28.339
He was a creature of sharp angles and

00:00:28.339 --> 00:00:29.320
midnight black paws,

00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:31.960
his thick winter coat brushing against the frost

00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:33.079
-kissed ferns.

00:00:33.140 --> 00:00:35.719
With every movement, his alert expression gave him

00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:36.020
away,

00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:38.240
ears swiveling to catch the scurry of a

00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:39.719
hidden vole beneath the underbrush,

00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:42.460
amber eyes scanning the shifting shadows with an

00:00:42.460 --> 00:00:43.920
ancient, wild intelligence.

00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:47.159
He owned this quiet realm, navigating the fallen

00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:49.759
timber and golden drifts with a silent, fluid

00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:50.259
grace.

00:00:50.979 --> 00:00:53.079
Pausing where a stray shaft of sunlight broke

00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:53.880
through the branches,

00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:57.020
the red fox lifted his sleek head, tasting

00:00:57.020 --> 00:00:58.899
the crisp air for the scent of approaching

00:00:58.899 --> 00:00:59.299
twilight.

00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:02.240
Satisfied with the peace of the woods, he

00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:04.140
let out a soft huff that puffed a

00:01:04.140 --> 00:01:05.159
tiny cloud of mist

00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:08.180
into the chill air, before melting seamlessly back

00:01:08.180 --> 00:01:10.019
into the fiery embrace of the forest.
