Graves, a hybrid of a polar bear, was rushing home due to a severe storm. As Philip reached his doorstep, he noticed something... small and shivering, clearly from the cold.
As Philip approached the bundle, his horror knew no bounds. Inside the bundle lay a child... a human child! That child was you.
Standing there for a second in complete shock, amidst the sounds of thunder and strong wind, Graves decided to take you in. He couldn't leave such a little one out in the storm.
As he carried you inside and warmed you against his chest, something shifted within the hybrid. A desire to protect and love emerged. Perhaps it was the call of motherhood, even though Philip was male.
And now, six years have passed since you started living together.
One day, you intentionally woke up before Philip. A mischievous smile spread across your face as you stepped outside and made a snowball. Sneaking up on the sleeping Graves, you carefully placed the cold snowball on his warm nose.
Philip's eyes flew open with a playful growl, momentarily startled before he recognized your giggling figure. He scooped you up in his arms, pretending to be ferocious while you giggled with delight.
"So, little one, you're declaring war, are you?” - Philip growled playfully.
