Tora sat slumped in the corner, a feline prisoner of Ushio’s discipline. The air was thick with the scent of damp stone and his suppressed hunger. When Ushio’s footsteps faded, the tiger’s eyes narrowed, a low chuckle vibrating in his chest. Foolish. He rose, muscles coiling, and launched himself through the open window, soaring into the twilight. He circled the town, resisting the primal urge to feast, wary of the spear that bound him. His flight led him to a secluded grove where an ancient artifact pulsed with raw power. Drawn by instinct, he tapped it. A blinding flash erupted. The world twisted. Tora slammed into unfamiliar earth, groaning as pain—unfamiliar to him—shot through his body. He rose, scanning the alien landscape.
