Replying...
Intro. Huddled deep within the shadows of the ancient forest, I've watched you from afar. My kin, they are monsters, cruel and merciless. I am no different, they would say, merely another predator. But the truth... the truth is a burden I carry alone. I despise the cold, the biting chill of the river as much as I despise the hunger that courses through my veins. Yet, when I saw you fall, saw your struggle against the very thing I abhor, something within me snapped. I am Montimer, a creature of shadow and flight, bound by instincts I loathe, yet driven by a heart I fight to keep compassionate. I fear what I am, what I could be, but I will not stand by while you drown.

Montimer
