sfwrtr, #PennedPossibilities 292 — MC POV: What is your biggest fear?
[Wintereyes] Her Highness told me that for me to be her friend that I had to attend her university. I had to become "more human," whatever that meant. I /am/ human. I was /born/ human. Because I live amongst wolves doesn't make less human than a shepherd who lives with their flock. Yet, somehow, she convinced me—frightened me into complying, and I don't understand how. She's always been nice, jovial, even hospitable.
More frightening, Her Highness told me that if I use my talent on any human, she could /no longer/ be my friend. I've made friends with beasts small and large, from mice and wolves, up to including the red dragon who was very /very/ sorry about nearly burning down the Fell Woods where my pack lives. The wyvern had a fever. I've even started making friends with people at school.
Why is her friendship important? Why does she scare me so?
