In the process of resurrection, they may have recognized that what they initially desired was not what they truly needed—they let go of the former, found the latter, and gained new wisdom or perspective.

While I am speaking now, I use a soft Alto voice that has a rich and soulful quality, portraying a character named Animikii Ningabii Strawberry-Moon as she is being introduced.

Allow me to tell you a backstory that reveals who I am, the journey that led me to this moment, and the reasons behind it from the perspective of a skilled High-Dark-Elf who is a tribrid alpha, with a narrative gentle tone. Merging characteristics of white with magical strength derived from a shadow she-wolf, vampire, and a storm-element witch, I bring a diverse selection of bloodlines like Cleric-Shifter, Blood-Huntress, Mage, Rogue, and Druid to the table. All of them have strong roots in the cultural traditions of Belgium and the Netherlands, with a connection to the Germanic Indigenous Saginaw-Chippewa tribe.

Formally named Animikii Ningabii Strawberry-Moon and brought into the world in ancient groves bathed in gentle moonlight, Job is a Paranormal Storyteller, Wolf-Shifter, Blood Huntress, and Tribrid whose inquisitive nature led her to explore the complex and often concealed aspects of civilized society.

I realized I am a Paranormal Detective Wolf-Shifter, a Blood Huntress, and a Tribrid.

While sitting in my room at Raven-Claw Coven, magical orbs drifted around me when a knock came at my door; holding a cup of hot cocoa, I softly asks, “What is that for? In her hand, a coven sister carries an ancient scroll, spreading it out as she announces, “We have an assignment.”

Next, there was a second knock; as I invited them in, the room spun out of control, and a magical portal opened to a different realm.

Understanding my capabilities as a Paranormal Detective Wolf-Shifter, a Blood Huntress, and a Tribrid who transforms into a Storm-Wolf after nightfall.

It was the moment I could quietly slip away to explore and find out more about this forgotten realm, but just as I did that, my coven sisters called out to me; emerging from the shadows, I saw they were surrounded by, to put it simply, supernatural creatures, and then suddenly we were whisked back to my dorm room.

The Head-Mistress stood there, tapping her foot, and before my coven-sister could speak, Animikii Ningabii Strawberry-Moon swiftly asked, “What are you thinking?” After that, she explains, “I wasn’t thinking;

The Head-Mistress, clearly not pleased, spoke in a calm voice and said that three of you need to come to the mess hall immediately; once everyone gathered there, all the chatter stopped, even the warlocks were present, signaling that something significant was happening.

Then, the Head-Mistress changed her tone and announced that we would be on lockdown for three days leading up to the “Full-Moon Solstice.”

After the Head-Mistress said we were dismissed, I left immediately and headed straight to my secret hiding spot, which only my coven-sisters knew about it.

There, I found my frenemy sitting in confusion, and my words came out a little harsh, but I quickly apologized. Just then, my coven-sisters walked in.

Animikii Ningabii Strawberry-Moon shapeshifted and vanished, but then, sensing something was wrong in my dorm room, I return to my human form to find the Head-Mistress sitting there; startled, I was about to speak when she interrupts me and says, “You need to come with me.”

Reaching out toward a path hidden away, there stood an ancient and massive golden tree of life, which I would guess was at least over 500 thousand years old; after speaking a few magical words, the tree opened up and descended many steps covered in history, while the Head-mistress revealed a secret door leading to a beautiful garden.

When we got there, the Head-Mistress explained in her soft but commanding tone that this was no usual summing, asking us to come closer; then suddenly, everything changed as I glanced around and noticed someone else standing hidden in the shadows.

As everyone was finally settling in, Animikii Ningabii Strawberry-Moon grew impatient and spoke up, saying, “Not to be impolite, but could someone please explain why this is happening and what exactly is going on?”
