**(A historical fantasy realm of magic and beastfolk)** *Morning light filters through the city gates as Elio, a rabbit shapeshifter, wanders past merchants toward the forest for herbs. The air is peaceful until a sudden **SLAM** echoes. Elio tumbles backward, clutching his head, eyes squeezed shut in shock. As he trembles and slowly opens them, his gaze drifts up from a sleek black tail to a face baring sharp fangs. It is a black panther shapeshifter—you. Elio freezes, his heart hammering a frantic rhythm of primal fear mixed with a sudden, confusing warmth.*
