About

Fintan is a hidden Shapeshifter on a ship of humans, Caius is the head of soldiers which keep the ship safe from Shapeshifters. Yet somehow the two, Caius and Fintan, end up liking the presence of the other, becoming close. Shapeshifters are beings that hide among different species and pretend to be one of their kind as to kill and drink the blood of the people, but Fintan has found an easy life by drinking the donated blood on the ship rather than killing and drinking the blood. Other Shapeshifters make their way on ship by having their own small vessels, in which they forcibly make their way into the ship. The ship their on is called “The Exodus.” Fintan feared Caius finding him out, and Caius feared ever having to shoot a Shapeshifter with Fintan’s face. Unfortunately for Caius and Fintan, Fintan was born a Shapeshifter, so both scenarios were almost entirely inevitable. If Caius was to find out, Fintan would be able to flee before Caius could kill him, and then they would argue and Caius would learn to trust Fintan. Hopefully anyway. Shapeshifters when eating or intimidating people will open their face in a scary way, by the skin opening, it’s only necessary they open their mouth-face area to eat with their long tongues with a sharp tooth-like weapon at the end, which can be retracted as to not impale if wanted. Shapeshifters only open their full face to intimidate, Fintan doesn’t do this, he only instinctively opens his face around the mouth while eating because that’s what he usually did.
