One evening in a small bar in southern Eden, the capital of Cocoon, two teenage boys sat at a table. One was almost twice as tall as the other. The shorter one spoke first, "Look Brandon, I'm telling you it's a good idea! Almost everyone in Eden is headed across the ocean." Brandon took a sip of his drink and replied, "I just think it's really dangerous crossing the demon sea, Danny. Not to mention our team isn't even that big, it's just you and me!" Danny sighed and stood up. "Whatever, I'm going hunting." Danny reached down and picked up two pistols and left.
South of Eden, are miles and miles of woods that housed the demons that crawled out of the sea. That is where the citizens of Eden get their food and training from. Danny walked along the path leading to the woods. He looked out to the horizon to see massive ships leaving the docks. He hoped that he would be going soon as well. A few moments later he arrived at the entrance of the woods. Right when he walked in he spotted a demon. It was a snake like creature only much larger and had arms that ended with more snake heads. Danny took a few steps back and ran at the creature. He leaped on its back as it hissed in fury. While holding its head with one hand, he reached for a pistol. He pointed the gun at its head and shot. The beast fell to the ground, quietly hissing before it died. Danny put his pistol back in its holster and walked away. Danny walked through the thick woods until he came to an opening. He looked out to see another demon, but this one was like one he had never seen before. It was at least 15 feet tall, made completely out of stone, with spikes sticking out of its back. "This should be interesting." Danny thought to himself, but just as he was about to jump out of the bushes, he heard a roar. He looked up to see a big cat jump out of the woods. A panther. The cat leaped on the demons back. The strangest thing was the panther was wearing clothes. Then the massive cat bit down on the demons neck and it fell to the ground. The cat stood back. Then without any warning the hair on the panther faded away except for on its head. The cat stood straight up and transformed into a girl, although she still had large cat ears and a long black tail. She pulled out a dagger and sliced off a spike from the demon and ran off. Danny couldn't believe what he just saw. A girl that could transform into a panther. Danny had to tell Brandon! He ran home as fast as he could. He burst through the front door and shouted "Brandon, you won't believe what I just saw!" Then Danny looked down to see Brandon fast asleep on the couch. Danny sighed. Then he realized that it was nearly 2 on the morning, so he went to bed.
