Shapeshifters were a part of life; they were a part of the stories, and a part of the everyday existence for the people living there in the realm. Tales told of those who could harness the spirit of anyĀ creature, and thereby take its form. Others told of those who felt a connection to the canine, to the wolf. Still others told of those who were the opposite, finding a stronger pull towards the feline. Whether it be one creature or many, those who could harness such a power, who could control it, were either feared or respected. Or maybe a little of both. Depending on how such a power was handled, how one wielded it, depended on the outlook the people had concerning such magic.Ā
For Killian, the black leopard form he usually took was something that he found comfort in. He wasnāt known by his magic, so he wasnāt feared for it. Though neither was he respected for it. He would utilize it away from the town, when he wanted to get away. And he rarely met others of his kind. Only his mother had possessed the gift, passing it down to him. But when she had passed, leaving Killian alone with a power he barely understood at such a young and difficult age, he took to the forest surrounding their home, trying to teach himself. Such was when heād discovered the form he felt most comfortable taking, the form that connected best with him.Ā
It wasnāt long before Killian moved deeper into the forest when he wanted to be his true self. When people started encroaching on the areas heād wandered before, heād only gone deeper, discovering new parts of the land that he was, until then, unfamiliar with. And it was on one of these days, Killian in his animal form as he wandered, that he came across someone he had never expected to find so deep in the woods.Ā
