Therionas

Aren was born without emotions. He couldn’t feel happiness, sadness, or even loneliness. He was unable to connect with his family or surroundings; the world always felt distant to him. Yet this never seemed like a deficiency to him, because he had no concept of what it meant to feel. Over time, he grew accustomed to living with this emptiness, relying solely on his intellect to understand the emotions of others.

But then, a fight changed everything. For the first time, Aren felt emotions—pleasure, wildness, and a torrent of complex feelings that made time seem to slow down. This experience both shocked and captivated him. Somehow, this new discovery felt like it had completed a missing part of him.

Gradually, Aren began to realize that what had blocked his emotions was, in fact, a unique ability within himself. But what would learning to control this ability bring him? What path would he be led down as he uncovered emotions he had never experienced before?

The Awakening of the Tarantula Emperor

Zanak was in his room, absentmindedly toying with some object when he suddenly felt an aura. His focus wavered for a few seconds as he furrowed his brows. After a brief pause, he shrugged.

"Someone's breaking the rules again… Well, not my problem," he muttered, turning his attention back to his work.

At the same time, Keiran felt a faint ripple of aura in the corridor. He glanced in its direction but only sighed and kept walking. Such things rarely interested him. Besides, he was hungry. With his hands in his pockets, he headed toward the dining hall in his usual relaxed manner. Others in the vicinity had also sensed the aura, but none of them paid it any mind; everyone simply carried on with their own business.
