We lived on an island–one ever bustling with storms, blizzards and desperate life scattered throughout. My father was half-human half…he never told me. As for my mother, she was a humanoid Arctic fox with a bosom full of warmth. And I had a brother, he looked just like my mom–ever joyous in his cackle and a rascal born to prank.
Inverse to what should've been, I took after my father and him after our mother. We lived in a cabin surrounded by dense pine and every so often a trader would come to buy and sell us goods in exchange for my father's magic. Coal too was a commodity we sold, but with thick fur on every hide, it was barely needed except for the rare occasions when the sun used to set out of nowhere and only came back after six months.
