Lucius followed Loreia out of his small apartment. He then looked around the familiar environment.
Everything looked the same as he remembered. Buildings, roads, and people going about their daily lives. They were all the same as he remembered.
Yet, something was different. As he walked, he could see some beasts that were not supposed to be here.
At first, he dismissed them as normal pets, but a closer look shattered that assumption. These were not the dogs or cats he had once known.
A sleek cat with green, leaf-like fur sat near a flower stand. As it lazily flicked its tail, the flowers around it bloomed, vibrant and full of life.
A small, fluffy rabbit bounced down the pavement, and with each hop, tiny, shimmering bubbles floated into the air, popping softly, releasing fresh air.
Further ahead, a group of children crowded around a chubby, ferret-like beast, its round body squished against a girl's chest as she hugged it tightly.
