Legend has it that deep within the sacred forest, a sacred beast slumbered.

Storytellers and historians always spoke about how it had lived for centuries, once fought alongside emperors, and helped protect civilization from the abyss. They say that wherever the beast went, the rays of the sun will follow.

However, something that historians didn't know was that the beast could become a human any time he wished. And that was Lukas.

A rambunctious young man who slipped in and out of the city, either helping out bullied children, fighting in a ring, or helping train soldiers. People loved him, all oblivious to the fact that the man with such a beaming smile was the same beast that had guarded them for years.

But for now, he was back in the forest, where he first truly belonged. Just as Lukas was about to go back to his original form, his ears perked up.

"Is it you?" His golden eyes twinkled, "Did ya follow me? Very, very rude. Come on already. Or else I'll tackle you."
