Tranquility


Mother. Father. It's been sometimes since I could reflect in piece. I've found a new region to dwell, and it is unlike anyplace I've been to in the past. The air is stagnant at times and the sun never shines. There are odd disperses in the population as well. Sometimes there are no people at all, other times there is a ridiculous crowd of humans.

Despite this, the city seems to have its own problems, which is good for me as it makes my duty easier. I have diligently been reading more on what you tried to do in your lifetime, and I grow prouder everyday. I hope you will be as proud of me one day. I will follow you both. I will become an excellent amazing doctor.

Another thing I found amazing?
There are others like me here. Real true hybrids like myself and yet completely unlike myself. I've met hybrids with curious mergers and shapes; ones from other countries with strange, sometimes impossible to translate accents; and most of them understanding of my goal. I know you've worried about my well being, always running off when I got the chance. After the facility, I had no home, no place to go.

But Mother, Father, I have found a new home. It is dark but beautiful, and home to many hybrids like me. Through a chance meeting with a curious man called Ayr, I am now a pup within this group. They call themselves The Pack. Their home being a cave-like "den." By the way, have either of you ever heard of a kitsune? I'm told it is Japanese for fox, and is also the name for fox hybrids. I seem to be a cross of fox and cat, so I'm often confused by the others for being either a kitsune or a neko, meaning cat.

It's very much like a wolf pack in a way. I play, argue, and wander with the other pups. I've met some strong people, fighters, doctors, and perhaps a spy or two - all within this group concealed by the city's forgotten ruins. It is outside the city, quieter. For once in a long time, I feel like I could belong here without being on edge.
