I aspire forr many things. A life of freedom from those who persecute us. Not all of us are evil many of us even try to keep the transforrmation at bay. We feed off of our own livestock and never harm another person.

I have met enough people near Lapis Port who are more than tolerant of me and my cousin Kyteth. No one has tried to chase me down with silver axes and burning torches. I suppose I should take comfort in that, yet I do not. Most of them do not know my true form, the horrifying beast that would tear them limb from limb if they did so much as made the wrong sound. I keep him at bay, yes I do. There have even been a couple of full moons where I did not spend the entire night transformed. Yet I did transform.

I have found through practicing the druid arts of shape shifting that I can exhaust some of the animal energies that drive me to change. I have Kyteth to thank for this.
He told me when I was very young that when he was just a pup he had the choice of being half-human and half-wolf or full wolf. He chose the wolf. He told me that all of the time he wishes he could change he wishes constantly to be a human, to be treated as a human and not as a dog.
So I thought long and hard about his dilemma.

After a few years of studying the druid ways and worshipping mother Selune I found that I could transform into creatures of the wild. At first it was small creatures and finally I transformed into a wolf... a small one, but it felt like home. It almost felt as comforting as my true form, but not quite.

It did however keep me from having such animalistic urges. I now am proud to say that I can look at cattle without drooling immediately. Kyteth has stayed by my side through all of this, guiding me and supporting me. He is the dearest friend one could ever hope for.

I hope someday that Claeverness will not be a place of chaos and evil. I hope again someday that we will find our home there. The memories of our past may keep us from it though. I still remember the horror of my childhood when the werecats first came. My whole family was torn to shreds. Kyteth and I were in the Bloodstone woods hunting and no where near home. Only luck has enabled us to survive. The attack on my family was not a senseless killing as I later found out...........
