[Ryx]

I do believe there have been other stories that feature lycanthropes not of the 
'mindless killing machine' type.
I recall clearly one where the lycanthropic person was animorph cursed yet 
retained their original lycanthropy (which was either a bird of some sort or a 
mouse, I do not recall immediately - but not a werewolf).

I am not wholly averse to the idea of sane werewolves, but we have to exercise 
all due care in how we introduce and manage them in the story setting.  They 
would be so rare as to be quasi-unique and NOT seen in any sort of favorable 
light, especially around Metamor as they've had to deal with them in the past 
generally when Lilith (their creator & Mistress) has her hand in some attempt to 
test Metamor's defenses.

Sane werewolves not bound to Lilith would, if of strong enough will and with 
much practice, be able to escape their moon-bound state in time.  Just being 
able to *control* the animus within them would be a monumental feat in and of 
itself.  Escaping the moon's pull would be child's play in comparison... just 
time consuming.

Not terribly long, but certainly an interesting teaser. I seem to remember 
another character calling itself 'the traveler' but that's not terribly 
important so I must say, good story ^.^

One thing of importance however... MK already has werewolves and they're of the 
evil mindless killers variety. If you character is going to turn into a wolf 
during full moons you're going to need a different explanation than that since 
werewolves are created by one of the daedra (evil gods of the lightbringer 
religion) and all werewolves lose their soul to her and become her servants. 
Again, nothing to stop your character from turning into a wolf, but just be 
careful about what's already established.

Hope to see more of your stuff soon!
