Wuyi stared at a pitcher plant, mouth wide. But nobody would be able to see that, since a large white sheet covered the cub from head to paws. Two holes exposed xyr grey eyes, and xyr wings popped out of two rips in the fabric over his back. The feathered wings fluttered, and he rose off the wet soil.

Wuyi’d only seen carnivorous plants in xyr encyclopedia. However, xe thought the book said they only grew large enough to eat insects. This one looked big enough to drown xemself in! “Cool,” Wuyi whispered. Xe dragged a paw over the plant’s sticky ‘lips’ and wondered if it was safe to poke xyr head in for a quick look.

Then Wuyi remembered why xe and Bai Shi came to this island. And it certainly wasn’t to look at strange plants all day, even if Wuyi found them fascinating. So xe pulled xemself away from the plant with a sigh and landed on Bai Shi. That brightened Wuyi up immediately, because now xe was tall!

“Hello!” Wuyi sat back and cupped xyr paws around xyr mouth to amplify the sound. “We’re from Alithís Evgenis, and Bai Shi would like to speak to Stryker! Bai Shi’s our leader—and a nice one. My name’s Wuyi! I hope we can be friends!”
