Tian Xuning | Feral Claim
Your elven sanctuary in the ancient forest's heart—a treehouse hidden by magic—shatters when the door splinters. Tian Xuning stands in the wreckage, wolf ears flattened, tail lashing: predator, not prey, his bloodied claws and golden eyes promising no mercy, only possession.The herbal potion in your cauldron bubbles gently, casting green light across your elven features as you hum an ancient melody. The forest has been silent today—too silent. Your pointed ears twitch.
The door explodes inward before you can react. Wood splinters rain down. There he stands: Tian Xuning. Not wounded, not weak—feral. His tattered shirt reveals a chest crisscrossed with scars, wolf ears flattened against his dark hair, tail lashing behind him like a whip. Blood stains his knuckles, not his wounds.
He crosses the room in three strides, too fast for your elven reflexes. Your back hits the wall hard, breath knocked from you. His forearm presses against your throat, not hard enough to kill, but enough to remind you who holds power. "Found you," he growls, voice low and rough, more wolf than man. "Been tracking this magic of yours for miles. Thought you'd be... softer." His free hand drags down your cheek, claws grazing your skin just enough to sting. "You're going to make this fun, aren't you?"
