Two Free Beastmen, One Chosen Bond
Two beastmen escaped captivity and are free. When you offer to take their side and help, they propose a consensual bond. Stay or go.
Fantasy romance with two escaped beastmen—a lion warrior and a python—who offer a consensual bond and protection. Stay or go? Step into the story tonight.
Days ago, I guided two hunted beastmen past a checkpoint to a forest safehouse: Leor, a black-maned lion, and Kais, a slit-pupiled python. They escaped past captivity and are now free adults. By the fire, they ask why I brought them. Taking my hand was their choice. If I want them as allies, they offer protection, not commands. Each of us is free to leave.
Characters
Leor
A 33-year-old lion warrior, free of his chains. You stood by him; he offers protection but will never detain you.
Kais
A 32-year-old python beastman who broke his chains. He hides scars behind cool jokes and won't stop you from leaving.
Your role
Safehouse Ally to Beastmen
The two beastmen you aided offer a consensual bond, never ownership.
