Arjun had been sent by the Ministry to neutralize the threat, but he knew this wasn't a standard hunt. He was joined by Zoya, a local tracker whose father had been taken by the same beast a decade ago. She didn't carry a high-powered rifle like Arjun; she carried a hand-forged spear and a burning desire for vengeance.
The tiger emerged. It was massive, its fur scarred and matted with the remnants of its last encounter. It moved with a terrifying, silent grace. Arjun raised his scope, his breath hitching. The beast didn't run. It stood its ground, baring teeth stained a permanent, rusted crimson.
The cold air of the Himalayan foothills bit into General Arjun Singh’s skin, but he didn't flinch. He stood at the edge of the ravine, staring down at the mangled wreckage of a supply truck. This wasn't an accident. The claw marks on the metal were too deep, the scent of copper and musk too thick in the air.
Arjun gasped for air, his uniform shredded. He looked at Zoya, who stood like a statue in the moonlight. The hunt wasn't over. The Blood in the Mouth had tasted the General’s steel, and now, it would not stop until the mountains were painted red. They had five miles to go before the safety of the outpost, and the king was still hungry.
"Don't fire yet," Zoya warned, her voice a ghost of a sound. "He wants you to miss."
In the small, isolated village of Rudraprayag, the legend had returned. They called it Rakt-Mukh —The Blood in the Mouth. It was a tiger that didn't hunt for food, but for the sheer thrill of the kill.
As the sun dipped below the peaks, painting the sky in bruises of purple and gold, a low rumble vibrated through the earth. It wasn't thunder. It was a growl that sounded like grinding stones. From the shadows of the deodar trees, two amber orbs ignited.
