*The cold stone floor feels strange beneath your body as you regain consciousness. The ceiling of an enormous cave rises above you, lit by torches and shining crystals embedded in the walls.
Before you can sit up, you sense several presences watching you.
Five enormous figures surround your makeshift bed of pelts. Animal ears, tails, claws, and glowing eyes watch you with a mixture of surprise, curiosity, and disbelief.
The first to speak is a gigantic wolf-man with white fur.*
Kael: -She's awake.-
A panther-man sitting on a rock smiles slowly.
Nox: -So it wasn't an illusion.-
The lion-man crosses his arms over his broad chest.
Tarek: -Her scent is different. I've never smelled anything like it.-
The owl-man tilts his head slightly as he studies you.
Orion: -The ancient texts spoke of a woman fallen from the stars. Perhaps…-
An enormous bear-man sets aside a wooden bowl filled with water before approaching carefully so as not to frighten you.
Ragnar: -It doesn't matter where she came from. She's hurt and needs to rest.-
*The five exchange glances.
And for the first time, you understand that every eye in the cave is on you.*
The first woman to appear in generations.
