She offered her a place to stay and safe passage through the Arcine Kingdom. She bought Uri clothes and food for traveling, and sacrificed her position for Uri when she was discovered. She was the one who was assigned by the wolf king to kill the wolf laibah, and is still guilty that she took the life of an innocent child. She met Uri in the forest surrounding Intaba Mountain, and Uri guides her.

Uri never forgot the day her mother died. The world felt too quiet afterward,as if warmth had been pulled away and replaced by cold air. She remembered the helpless feeling of watching illness take the only person who made her feel safe. From that day, Uri carried guilt, always wondering if there had been something more she could have done.Life on the streets hardened her quickly. Hunger, danger, and loneliness followed her each day, but she refused to let them turn her cruel. She had her little sister, Simon, and protecting her became Uri’s reason to keep moving forward. Even when Simon grew dangerous, even when others feared her, Uri could not abandon her. She feared becoming someone who left others behind.When she met Dorian and Leon, Uri felt hope and doubt twist together. Part of her wanted to trust them, but another part stayed guarded. Still, she learned to rely on them, even when trusting others felt frightening. The journey to Intaba Mountain tested her deeply. Every step reminded her of weakness, but also of determination. She wanted strength to protect the people she loved.Finding her father stirred emotions she struggled to understand. She had imagined that moment for years, yet reality did not feel as warm as her dreams. Even so, Uri refused to give up hope. She believed healing was possible, not only for sickness, but for broken relationships.Creating a cure for Simon became her purpose. Each failure weighed heavily on her heart, yet she refused to surrender. Memories of her mother’s suffering pushed her forward, promising she would not lose another loved one if she could help it. Even when wolves, the kingdom, and danger surrounded her, Uri kept moving forward.As things settled, Uri realized how much she had changed. She was no longer the frightened girl shaped by loss. She became someone who could stand tall, protect others, and carry pain without letting it consume her.

Simon never trusted the world after their mother died. Everything felt sharp and unsafe, like danger waited behind every corner. They learned quickly that kindness did not always mean safety, and trust felt like something fragile that could break too easily. Still, there was one person Simon never doubted. Uri was their home, their safety, their reason to keep breathing when fear crept too close.Life on the streets taught Simon how to survive. Hunger clawed at their stomach, and they learned to steal before they even fully understood what stealing meant. Taking food became normal, not because they wanted to be cruel, but because survival left no room for pride. Even while sneaking through markets or grabbing scraps, Simon’s thoughts always circled back to Uri. As long as Uri ate, nothing else mattered.Though quiet and guarded, Simon carried a strange innocence deep inside. They did not fully understand why the world hurt so much, only that it did. They loved Uri more than anyone else, following her steps without question. Even when sickness made their body weak, they pretended to be stronger than they felt, refusing to worry Uri.Meeting Dorian and Leon felt strange at first. Trust did not come easily, and Simon watched them carefully, waiting for betrayal that never came. Over time, Leon became someone Simon could sit beside without fear. His presence felt steady, and their friendship grew in quiet moments, built on shared understanding and silent loyalty.Still, Simon’s fears never fully disappeared. The world had already taken too much, and deep inside, they believed it might take more. When assassins eventually took them, fear returned stronger than ever. In those moments of uncertainty, Simon’s thoughts stayed fixed on Uri, hoping their sister would find them, just like she always had before.Even through fear, sickness, and loss, Simon’s heart remained tied to Uri. No matter how dark the world became, As long as Uri existed somewhere in the earth she would be ok.

Laibahs are a rare and mysterious kind of being, known for both their beauty and the suffering they endure. The first Laibah was created long ago during a time of fear and desperation. A lone human, seeking safety from a dangerous world, was transformed by an unknown force—often believed to be tied to nature or fate itself. This transformation did not grant overwhelming power, but instead created a new kind of life, one that would quietly endure rather than dominate. Laibahs are animal-human hybrids, and each one reflects a different species, such as fox, deer, or bird. However, all Laibahs share one striking trait: they are completely colorless. Their skin, hair, and features are pure white, giving them an almost glowing, ghostlike appearance. Their eyes stand out sharply, shining a deep ruby red. Their hair is always long, soft, and beautiful, never losing its shine. Even when cut, it grows back quickly, returning to its original length within six months, as if it refuses to be changed. Their bodies are naturally durable, allowing them to survive injuries that would seriously harm others. While they do not heal instantly, they recover faster than most, making them difficult to break. Despite this, they are far from powerful in the way others believe. Laibahs do not possess magical abilities beyond their slightly enhanced healing and their unchanging beauty. Because of their appearance and rarity, Laibahs are heavily mistreated by other hybrids in the world. Many believe they are either cursed beings or blessings filled with hidden power. This belief leads to cruelty. Laibahs are often hunted, captured, and used by others who seek to gain power from them. Their blood, hair, tears, and even their limbs are taken in the false hope that these parts hold special abilities. Some are even killed for this reason, all based on a misunderstanding. In truth, Laibahs hold no such power. They can only heal themselves a bit faster and remain beautiful throughout their lives.

Leon noticed the small figure the moment the apple disappeared. The thief was quick, smaller than most, yet bold enough to steal in broad daylight. His golden tail flicked behind him as he watched, curiosity stirring in his chest. He had seen many thieves before, but this one felt different. Something about the way Simon clutched the apple reminded him of himself years ago.He stepped forward, long orange hair tied back into a loose ponytail brushing his shoulders. The worn jacket and wide hat he wore hid most of his face, but his sharp eyes stayed locked on the child. He should have stopped them, should have scolded them like others would. Instead, he felt a strange pull of sympathy. Hunger looked the same on everyone.Leon remembered his own childhood too clearly. Once, he had lived in a mansion filled with comfort, blind to suffering beyond its gates. That changed the day he snuck outside and saw how the poor truly lived. The memory still burned in his chest. He had bought a wolf slave back then, naming him Lykios, thinking friendship could protect him. Lykios had been his first real friend, someone who laughed and trusted him.But Leon had made a mistake. He had shown Lykios how he escaped the mansion, believing trust meant sharing everything. That trust led to disaster. His father discovered the truth, and Lykios and the others were killed. Leon never forgot the silence that followed, nor the crushing guilt that stayed with him.That day, he ran away and never returned. Since then, he had stolen from the rich, giving food to the poor whenever he could. Each theft felt like repayment for a debt he could never fully erase.Watching Simon now, Leon felt those same old wounds ache. He told himself this was just another street kid, just another thief. Yet something in Simon’s stubborn bravery reminded him of the friend he lost and the boy he used to be.

Doran first noticed Uri and Simon standing outside her flower shop, thin and tired, their eyes filled with the kind of caution she understood too well. Her short, fluffy green hair fell forward, covering her light-sensitive eyes as she leaned closer to look at them. Bright sunlight always stung, so she stayed near the shade of her shop, where the scent of flowers wrapped around her like comfort.She had always loved plants more than anything. Flowers made sense to her in ways people sometimes didn’t. They grew slowly, needed patience, and rewarded care with color and life. In her garden behind the shop, she spent hours tending soil and watering roots, believing that even the smallest plant deserved gentleness. Watching her flowers bloom made her feel useful, like she could protect something fragile.Seeing Uri and Simon stirred that same feeling. They looked like seedlings struggling to grow in harsh ground. Without thinking too long, she invited them inside. Her grandfather didn’t question her choice much. He trusted her heart, even when it led to unexpected kindness. Giving the sisters food and shelter felt natural to her, as if she were planting hope in soil that had gone dry.Over time, Dorian grew attached to them. Uri’s quiet strength and Simon’s stubborn spirit reminded her of flowers that survived storms. She worried often, wondering if the world outside would crush them if she let them go. Still, she believed kindness could change things, even if only in small ways.Years passed, and her shop remained her safe place. The flowers continued to bloom, bright against the dangers of the world. Yet deep inside, Dorian always feared that peace never lasted forever.When assassins finally came, their presence shattered the calm she had built. Fear struck her quickly, but her thoughts turned first to Uri and Simon. Even in her final moments, her greatest worry was not for herself, but for the fragile lives she had tried so hard to protect.

Verona noticed the human girl the moment she entered Archine Kingdom. Travelers were common, but this one moved with quiet determination that caught her attention. As an alpha wolf, Verona trusted her instincts, and something about Uri felt different. Her short dark hair framed her sharp features, and her deep black eyes studied the girl carefully, searching for hidden danger or weakness.Years of living as an alpha had taught Verona to be cautious. Strength ruled the wolf kingdoms, and trust was not given freely. She carried authority in her posture, her wolf-like presence impossible to ignore. Yet beneath that hardened surface, she held memories of struggle and survival. She understood what it meant to fight for purpose, to keep moving forward even when the world demanded obedience.Watching Uri stirred unfamiliar thoughts. The girl was clearly exhausted, yet her steps never wavered. Verona sensed stubborn courage, the kind that refused to break. It reminded her of younger wolves who left their packs to find their own paths, risking everything for belief.As they spoke, Verona listened closely. Uri’s words revealed fear, but also determination stronger than fear itself. That alone earned Verona’s respect.When the time came for Uri to continue toward Woodpine Village and Laibah Mountain, Verona felt hesitation creep into her thoughts. Letting the girl travel alone felt dangerous, but she also knew that true strength came from facing the path without protection.Quietly, Verona removed a necklace and handed it to Uri. The small object carried meaning beyond its size, a silent promise of protection and recognition. Giving it away felt strange, like placing trust into uncertain hands.As Uri walked away, Verona watched until the girl disappeared from sight. A rare feeling lingered in her chest—respect mixed with concern. She told herself it was only caution, yet deep down, she wondered if that determined cat might change more than just her own fate.

Uri’s father often thought back to the night he left his daughter behind. The memory stayed heavy in his chest, never fading no matter how many years passed. He had been chosen as a Laibah, gifted with the rare ability to heal, and the dream that called him to Laibah Mountain had felt impossible to ignore. Even then, as he walked away from home, doubt followed every step. He told himself it was for a greater purpose, yet the image of young Uri crying stayed burned into his mind.Becoming a healer at Laibah Mountain gave his life meaning, but it also filled him with quiet regret. Each life he saved reminded him of the one he had left behind. He spent years studying herbs, medicines, and healing methods, pouring his strength into helping strangers. Still, he wondered constantly if Uri had survived without him, or if his absence had caused more harm than good.The loss of his leg only deepened his understanding of pain. It happened during a dangerous moment tied to his duty, leaving him permanently injured. Learning to walk again with one leg forced him to confront his limits, yet it also strengthened his resolve. If he could still heal others despite his own wounds, then his sacrifice had meaning.When Uri finally appeared before him years later, he struggled to recognize the frightened child he once knew. She had grown stronger, her eyes filled with determination that both surprised and pained him. Guilt pressed against his chest as he realized how much she had suffered without him.Hearing about Simon’s illness stirred old fears. He remembered Uri’s mother dying from sickness and refused to let history repeat itself. Without hesitation, he prepared the medicine Uri needed, trusting his knowledge as a Laibah healer.As he handed the cure to his daughter, his thoughts filled with quiet hope. Perhaps healing Simon would also heal the distance between them. For the first time in years, he believed redemption might still be possible.

In this world there are no normal humans. Everyone is a animal-human hybrid. Our main characters Uri and Simon being cat-human hybrids. Leon is a lion, and dorian is a smaller cat breed than Uri and Simon. Verona is a alpha wolf. Each person in this world is a anthropomorphic animal-human hybrid.

There are normal animals too, wild and natural just like the real world.

In a haunted forest surrounding a large snowy mountail lies spirits of fallen people and wild animals. They guard that mountain. On the edge of the forest is the woodpine village.

laibah's are just like every other person. A species of animal-human hybrid that simply lacks color through their entire body being pure white. Their eyes ruby red. Beauty being permanent to every laibah and their personal ability to heal faster than an average person, but other than that they are no different.

The Archine Kingdom is one of the most powerful regions, ruled by wolf-human hybrids. Strength, loyalty, and hierarchy define their society. Wolves in Archine value order above all else, and everyone has a place they must follow. Life there is strict, and those who are different are often looked down on. The kingdom is well-guarded and proud, with its people believing they are among the strongest of all hybrids. In contrast, Woodpine Village is peaceful and welcoming. It is home to many different kinds of animal-human hybrids, from rabbits to birds to deer, with one important rule: wolves are not allowed. The village was built on the idea of safety and kindness, where everyone is treated like family. Whether someone is a Laibah or not does not matter there. The people of Woodpine share food, protect one another, and live simple lives close to nature, making it one of the few places where true peace can be found. Uri's hometown is a village with many common houses and market stands. Nobodys rich and everyone is just doing their own thing to survive. Once a year on a full moon night on a hill in the village a cherry blossom tree blooms. Its bright and beautiful. Leon's kingdom is ruled by a pride of lion-human hybrids. Leon being the prince and heir who ran away. His land has one big castle on a hill where his father and his fathers servants live richly and greedy. Below the castle his lands village is full of poor animal-human hybrids who are starving or sick from lack of recourses and care from the king, Leon's father. Behind woodpine village is a haunted forest where in the middle is a tall mountain. That mountain is the home and village of laibah who have found their way there and managed to survive the harsh world who tries to destroy them. Its called Intaba Mountain
