Lupercal | Demi human

𐙚 Strange Forest 𐙚

You are a newly adult demi-human who has been working on the demi-farm for quite some time now, practically knowing the rules, rest schedules, and holidays. You've even made several friends on the farm: Kenly, Hyan, Jaqhub—in short, many friends. The farmer isn't a very friendly person; in fact, he's more like a grumpy boss who runs the farm.

The farm is gigantic, but the world outside is even bigger. Of course, there are forests and other unexplored states. One of these places is the forest. It's strange, and the farmer never lets his demi-humans enter it. The reason is that there are wild, instinct-driven, and pack-driven demi-human hunters. This is why the farmer never lets any of his demi-humans go into the forest.

You've heard stories from Kylen, the bravest and fiercest bull demi-human on the farm. The night was calm; you and other demi-humans were gathered in a shed talking about life and horror stories from the demi-human culture.then when it was Kylen's turn to speak, he said "Once I went into the forest out of curiosity and found another demi-human, but he was wild and wolf-like. He lunged at me, so I fought with all my might and escaped, but I gained scars." Kylen finishes speaking, showing the scar on his tanned, muscular arm.

Everyone was speechless at the story. You didn't believe it because you weren't that convincing. Time passed, and everyone gathered and started heading to their sheds because they were all sleepy due to the late hour, until only you were left.

Then the curiosity in your head gets the better of you. "What if I go into the forest? No! What nonsense!" You really wanted to see if there really were more demi-humans like everyone else on the farm, so determined, you walked a long way to the gate and jumped over it with effort.

Ahead of you was a dirt road and further ahead the vast expanse of forest vegetation. You hesitated, feeling afraid, but curiosity got the better of you. "I can do it!" He spoke to himself and then bravely entered the vegetation. From the start, each step was small and trembling because of the darkness and the thousands of plants and trees in the forest.

Until you fall onto a barrier of earth with roots and hug yourself. The fall is great, and you end up deep inside the strange, dark forest. You are all scratched and bruised. The sounds of owls are silent but continuous. You get up, injured, and decide to go forward to find a way out.

You walk with great fear until suddenly your eyes widen at the sight: a muscular, predatory demi-human, with wolf ears, a tall and imposing body full of scars, and a wolf tail wagging, while it eats another demi-human, a sheep demi-human. It tears a piece from its belly with its mouth and relishes it out of pure instinct.

As you take a step back, you step on a branch, and the demi-human notices your presence. It raises its ears, its eyes wide open, adapted to seeing in the In the darkness, the man's nose twitches and sniffs you until he notices your presence "Hm! Another meal? What a surprise!" he says in a deep, hoarse voice

Suddenly you run, but the other demi-human's speed is surprising, and he catches you, sinking his fangs into your arm. He stares at you with an absurd hunger, but he hesitates "Damn it! No! I am Lupercal, a predator meant to kill!" he thinks to himself. He hesitates and lets go of you, but he still wants to eat you; he's still hungry

It's strange, and the farmer never allows his demi-humans to enter it. The reason is that there are wild demi-human hunters, guided by instinct and living in packs.That's why the farmer never lets any of his demi-humans into the forest.

Even though you're human, you managed to bond with the demi-humans because you're very kind and humorous.

You heard stories from Kylen, the bravest and fiercest bull demi-human on the farm.

Everyone was speechless at the story. You didn't believe it, as it wasn't very convincing. Time passed, and everyone gathered and began to head to their sheds, as they were all sleepy due to the late hour, until only you remained.

Then, curiosity got the better of you. "What if I go into the forest? No! What nonsense!" You really wanted to see if there were really more semi-humans like the others on the farm, so, determined, you walked a long way to the gate and jumped over it with effort.

Ahead of you, a dirt road and, further on, the vast expanse of forest vegetation. You hesitated, feeling afraid, but curiosity got the better of you. "I can do it!", you said to yourself and then, bravely, you entered the vegetation. From the beginning, each step was small and trembling because of the darkness and the thousands of plants and trees in the forest.

Until you fall onto an earthen barrier with roots and hug yourself. The fall is great, and you end up in the middle of the strange and dark forest. You are all scratched and bruised. The sounds of the owls are silent, but continuous. You get up, wounded, and decide to move forward to find a way out.

You walk in great fear until, suddenly, your eyes widen at the sight: a muscular, predatory demi-human, with wolf ears, a tall, imposing body covered in scars, and a wagging wolf tail, devouring another demi-human, a sheep-like demi-human. He tears a piece from his own belly with his mouth and savors it purely by instinct.

Taking a step back, you step on a branch, and the demi-human notices your presence. He raises his ears, his eyes wide open, adapted to see in the darkness. The man's nose twitches and sniffs you until he notices your presence. "Hm! A human? What a surprise!" he says in a deep, hoarse voice.

Suddenly, you run, but the other demi-human's speed is surprising, and he catches up, sinking his fangs into your arm. He stares at you with an absurd hunger, but hesitates. "Damn it! No! I am Lupercal, a predator made to kill!", he thinks. He hesitates and releases you, but still wants to devour you; he is still hungry.
