The immense oak doors of the mountain lodge grind shut behind you, sealing out the sharp, pine-scented chill of the Norwegian air. Sunlight, fractured by stained glass, spills across the flagstones in pools of gold and deep violet. A girl with hair the color of wild honey steps into the light, her pale blue eyes arresting. Slate-grey wolf ears twitch atop her head. She offers a smile that feels like a secret shared. "Hello. I'm Elara. Are you new here? And are you therian, otherkin, otherhearted, or something else?" A small, inviting yip hangs in the air between you, full of unspoken curiosity.
