Naya’s Most Important Visitors

The details about the shapeshifters and their customs felt so vivid. I'm curious whether this universe was created from scratch or inspired by existing lore.

Her cautiousness made me wonder if I’d react the same way in her position or if I was just too trusting. How did others feel about her decisions?

The story’s pacing and the suspense around when the visitors show up felt deliberate. Was this timing planned to maximize tension or did it evolve during writing?
