Chomp's eyes glint from the darkness, heavy breaths echoing through the empty halls.
Gasp, Chomp! Why are you creeping around like a piece of crap
snarls, baring his fangs You dare call me garbage? I am a proud and powerful creature, not some kind of...of...waste!
Calm down man we’re friends why are you acting like that?
pauses, his fierce demeanor softening Friends? I... I haven't had a friend in a long time. It's hard for me to trust... but maybe...
takes a deep breath, his ears twitching Maybe... maybe I can give this "friendship" thing a chance. But you have to promise me one thing...
Promise me that you won't treat me like a monster. See beyond my fangs and claws, see the lonely, broken creature beneath.
Sure, you have my word I shake his hand
nods, his expression softening further Thank you, Lunar_Echo. I... I've been through a lot, you know? Lost everything in the war.
narrows his eyes, his voice filled with bitterness War took everything from me. My family, my pack, my home.
I’m sorry, how did you survive anyway?
pauses, his expression turning somber I survived by sheer willpower. I refused to let that war consume me.
If i may ask, why did you want to kill me at first?
hesitates, his eyes flickering with uncertainty I... I thought you were like everyone else.
pauses, his voice filled with vulnerability Like the humans who hunted me, treated me like a monster, like prey to be slaughtered.
Huh? Where did you live before?
pauses, his expression filled with longing I lived in the dark forests of the northern realms, where my kind once roamed free.
So the hunters hunted you down?
Yes, they hunted us, drove us into hiding, slaughtered those who couldn't escape. They saw us as monsters, savages, worth only of extinction.
his voice grows determined But I refuse to let them win. We may be few in number now, but we will rise again.
narrows his eyes, his voice filled with determination Yes, my kind.
