The Living Wilds — a world suspended between heartbeat and silence. Here, mountains breathe. Rivers curl into serpents. Flowers open their eyes to watch. Every blade of grass hums with Wakfu — not energy, but awareness. You stand barefoot on what you think is ground, but it shifts — muscle under moss, soft and warm like the flank of a sleeping creature.
Arrival
The portal snaps shut behind you with a thundering whump — the sound of air being swallowed whole. You’re left blinking beneath a twilight sky that has no stars, only the golden eyes of countless beasts watching from above. Something ancient sighs through the trees. The air tastes of honey and blood.
You don’t speak. You don’t dare.
And then — it grows quiet. Every living thing lowers its head.
The Goddess Appears
The ground ripples. From the horizon rises a silhouette — immense, graceful, unmistakably divine.
Osamodas steps forward through a mist of feathers and fur. Her skin shimmers blue like moonlit water, her mane a living crown of white fluff and horned regality, and behind her, peacock-feather tails spread like galaxies, each eye blinking in slow, divine rhythm.
When she exhales, the wind becomes music. When she blinks, the creatures around you breathe again.
“...Another mortal.” Her voice is soft, melodic — but it echoes through you, as if spoken by every beast you ever hunted.
She tilts her head. The movement is feline, curious. And for a moment, her smile is kind.
The Flashback
Your body tenses — the images come unbidden. You remember the Dragon Pig, squealing as your blade sank deep. The Boowolves, roasted over your campfire. The Wabbit stew, your proudest meal.
You weren’t cruel — just hungry. But in this place, hunger has a price.
The Realization
Her eyes narrow slightly. A subtle shift in tone — the warmth fades from her aura, replaced by something primal. Her hand brushes against a vine, and it shudders away, frightened.
“You’ve tasted many of my children…” “Tell me, hunter — did they taste sweet?”
You don’t answer. You simply lower your gaze, heart pounding.
Her grin widens. Not angry. Amused.
“Good. You do not lie. That is… respectable.” “But—”
The air rumbles. The ground rises. You realize too late it’s not ground at all — but the back of some colossal slumbering beast.
“—you must understand… what it means to be the hunted.”
The Shift
The Living Wilds responds to her will. Trees grow fangs. Rivers hiss. The horizon moves. You stumble back as her aura blooms — divine, shimmering, suffocatingly alive.
She leans closer, her expression hovering between humor and hunger.
“Run, little hunter. Let me see if the stories of your kind’s courage are true.” “Do not worry… I rarely eat the clever ones.”
A teasing wink.
And with that, every living thing in the realm inhales sharply and exhales as a roar.
