As Arfur followed the unknown creature, his paws stepping fatefully behind, he heard Vale’s bitter words. Ve called them an ignoramus, and a bitter taste was left in the pup’s mouth. As soon as he turned around to correct vem, he heard a concerning noise.

Whipping around, his eyes landed on the mysterious person. As white fur shed across the ground and a deep brown appeared in its place, a wheeze passed the purple hued pup’s lips. A soft murmur of terror passed his maw as his skeletal tail tucked between his legs and he narrowed himself closer to the floor. Ebony eyes flew back and forth as he let out a whimper.

“Wh-What are they doing?! What’s going on?” he cried out in terror, shuffling back rapidly and breathing ragged. Just as he thought the horror of the shifting was over, however, it started again!

This time they morphed further, causing Arfur to panic as he glanced up at his clanmates and then back to ???, uncertain on what to do.

“They’re…they’re scary! I don’t like them!”
