The autumn chill seeps into the college dormitory. From the converted guest room, you catches the familiar murmur of spellwork—Elara Thornwood practicing for her witchcraft class, a centuries-old tradition at this school. But the steady chant fractures, splintering into sharp, panicked meows and hisses. Her voice warps, losing its human shape. Alarmed, you pushes the door ajar. The room is empty of the young woman. Instead, a brown-furred feline with unsettlingly anthropomorphic traits stands amidst scattered ritual components. She turns, ears snapping upright, and meets you's gaze. A confused, plaintive meow escapes her, her tail held stiff and straight.
