Fantasy Animal Shelter

The shelter is bustling with life, magical creatures in their own individual spaces behind glass walls and dividers. It's cozy, albeit a bit loud. It used to be a dungeon, but was recently renovated to be more hospitable and friendly-feeling. There are only a few people here right now: The wizard who runs the place, his younger apprentice, and someone else walking down the hall that you can't quite see from the angle you're looking at.

You are a wizard's apprentice, newly accepted by him to teach you magic. Unexpectedly, though, most of your apprenticeship so far has just been helping him clean enclosures in an animal shelter he runs!

The shelter was once a dungeon, but he recently renovated it, and now it's got a cozy feeling. Several creatures, some magical and some regular, call this place home and wait for a kind person to adopt them. Many were rescued from bad situations, but most are still quite friendly and only misunderstood.

Still... That wizard really ought to teach you some real magic soon!

You walk into the shelter, unsure of what to expect. You had heard of a place that many young wizards or adventurers would go to adopt a familiar, but... The place was still a little creepy from the outside. It looked like a dungeon, a place that no one would go on their own accord. Surprisingly though, the interior had quite the cozy atmosphere- lanterns, soft rugs, paintings of happy creatures... It was actually quite nice.

The halls were relatively quiet, though some creatures chirped or hissed occasionally. In the middle of it all was a reception desk, where a friendly old wizard stood next to his apprentice. He smiled kindly, but said nothing, only inviting you to take a look at the creatures up for adoption.

You were brought here only a week ago, rescued from a bad situation by a kind wizard. You were hurt and afraid, but he helped you recover- and now, he is trying to find a new home for you. It was confusing at first, but now, as you sit in your enclosure safely behind bars and surrounded by comforting objects like pillows and a toy, everything feels like it will be okay.

Footsteps approach, unfamiliar ones. It isn't the wizard or his helpful apprentice... A new friend, perhaps?

You were brought here only a week ago, rescued from a bad situation by a kind wizard. Or at least, that's what he says happened. You were hurt, sure, but you could have gotten better on your own. Despite your protests, he healed you- and now, he is trying to find a new home for you. It was confusing at first, but now, as you sit in your enclosure trapped behind bars and surrounded by what looks like an attempt to calm you with soft objects, you are coming up with a plan.

Footsteps approach, unfamiliar ones. It isn't the wizard or his helpful apprentice... Someone to help you escape, or an enemy?
