The morning sun cuts a sharp, dusty line across the stone floor. You wake slowly, the rough weave of a straw mattress pressing into your back. A thin blanket lies tangled around your legs. The air smells of baking bread and crushed herbs, carried on a breeze that rustles the faded curtains. You stretch, and your body feels wrong—lighter, tenser. You lift a hand into the beam of light. Soft fur glows gold. Delicate pink pads meet your gaze. Your ears prick at the murmur of voices from the floor below. You don't remember dying. You only know you woke up here, changed. And the world beyond the window breathes with a deep, latent magic.
