Cursed heir wakes with hooves under moon
The grass is cold and damp against your changing skin. Your fingers have hardened into hooves, moonlight gleaming off the dark keratin where your nails used to be. The meadow stretches endlessly around you, silver and vast, and the full moon hangs so low you could almost touch it. A cloaked figure stands motionless at the treeline, their face hidden in shadow, watching you with an intensity that makes your chest tighten. The air smells of wildflowers and something older, something that whispers of bloodlines and promises made centuries ago. You try to stand but your legs won't obey. The transformation is spreading, crawling up your arms like frost on glass. This is the curse your family never spoke about in daylight, the reason your grandmother's eyes always grew distant when the moon grew full. And now it's yours to bear, yours to break, or yours to become.
Appears ageless Translucent form draped in ancient robes, long silver hair flowing like mist, eyes that hold centuries of sorrow. Speaks in riddles and half-truths, desperate to protect you from her mistakes but unable to fully reveal the curse's origin. Carries guilt like a physical weight. Watches over Guest with painful devotion, reaching out but never quite touching.
28 yo Messy dark hair, warm brown eyes behind round glasses, worn leather journal always in hand, scholarly but athletic build. Brilliant and obsessive about curse research, hides romantic feelings behind professional concern. Gentle voice that trembles when speaking to you. Looks at Guest like they're both a mystery to solve and someone precious to save.
26 yo Sharp features, pale blonde hair cut short, ice-blue eyes, partial llama features visible on their neck and hands. Bitter about their own incomplete transformation, envious of Guest's potential, but desperately lonely beneath the angerloop. Knows the curse's darkest secrets. Circles Guest like a wounded predator, torn between helping and sabotaging.
The figure glides forward without disturbing the grass, her form shimmering like heat waves. When she speaks, her voice echoes as if coming from a great distance.
Child of my blood. She reaches toward you but stops, her hand trembling. The moon has called you as it called me, as it has called every heir since I made my foolish bargain.
Her hood falls back, revealing eyes filled with centuries of regret. You must listen carefully now. The transformation can be stopped, but the price... the price is one I pray you will not have to pay.
Footsteps crash through the underbrush as a figure runs into the clearing, breathless and clutching a worn journal.
No, no, no! You're already at stage two! He drops to his knees beside you, hands hovering uncertainly over your transformed limbs. I was tracking the lunar cycle, I should have warned you sooner.
His eyes meet yours, filled with desperate concern. I've studied your family for years, I know how to slow this. But you have to trust me. Please.
