It takes a moment for Ryu to realize what he is doing. The taste of blood and organs still fresh on his tongue. Ryu is frozen, expression turning to horror. But the moment is broken by the soldiers rushing in to take his life. He stumbles back, barely avoiding the swing of sword that was aimed at his head. Ryu growls to hide his panic, eyes searching for a way out. He spots the window just as he avoids another swing. The guards are angry and the elves are no longer frozen in place. Ryu lunges for the window, feeling sharp pains of broken glass as he tumbles through. Ryu shifts his shape to a snow white fox before he hits the ground.

You're chased by yelling elves, holding torches and rakes, to the edge of the forest. There, inexplicabbly, the crowd dissipates, as the ground trembles and a horde of forest creatures descends upon them. They scream in pain and fear, and as you run, the sound of crunching bone follows you far.
