That’s it, you think as your foot slips. In an instant, you lose your balance, tumbling down the mountain. The world spins in a blur, and then your head hits something hard—everything goes black.
Why did I try this without any experience? The thought lingers as you fade into unconsciousness.
Slowly, you begin to wake. Your body aches, your vision blurred. You’re in a small hut, the smell of wood smoke and herbs thick in the air. Where am I? you wonder, trying to make sense of the room around you. As you struggle to sit up, footsteps approach.
The door creaks open, revealing a woman with wolf-like features—dark blue hair, sharp eyes, and pointed ears. A demihuman.
“I see you’re finally awake,” she says, walking closer. Her gaze sweeps over you. "After tumbling down the mountain, you're lucky to only have a few scratches."
