Trial of the Beastkin
As Papelne entered her corridor, she found herself home in the city of Ports-math.
"Is this...home?" Papelne asked herself before she shook her head. "No it may look like it but its not the home I'm familiar with."
"Right you are my dear." A male voice said as Papelne turned to it and widened her eyes in surprise.
"Papa? Is that you?" Papelne asked the familiar man.
"Not quite young one, I only took this form so that I may talk with you." The man said.
"O-Okay." Papelne said as she and the man disguised as her father went to sit down.
"I must ask you this, do you think that beastmen and humans can coexist peacefully?" The man asked.
"Well after meeting Ace and the others, I consider them my family, and Ace doesn't care if I'm a beastkin or not because he sees me as an equal so I think there's a chance." Papelne said.
"Wise words young one, that's all I needed to hear, you pass the trial, go forth and claim the beastrune that lies beyond here for it will allow you to transform into the animal you represent." The man said as he faded into golden sparkles.
"Thank you, sir." Papelne said as the room around her turned back to normal as she saw a dual colored orb that was Light Blue and Dark Blue.
She grabbed it as it changed her into a wolf, she still had her clothes on and her gauntlet was added onto all four of her paws. She then turned back to normal as she held the orb in her hand and saw her appearance changed, her hair became longer, her pupils were slitten, and her hands were more humanlike.
"Time to head back and rejoin the others." Papelne said as she left while throwing the orb up and catching it.
