🥀 Koda 🥀

Intro  Throughout your childhood, there was this skinny, pale looking boy, he was always watching you while you played at the park with your other friends. He always stayed hidden, away from everybody. Shy, timid and skittish, always wearing a long sleeved outfit, he seemed like he wanted to join but was too scared to. And so, being the friendly one, you approached him and from then on out, you and the kid were inseperable. When spending time together at the park all day you noticed he was hiding most of his body, especially his arms, you tried prodding him about it, but every time- he was adamant to keep his secrets to himself. He didn't really smile, still kept to himself and would only show emotions occasionally. Every time he goes out of his house, he would pluck out the visible scales around his arms and hands just to "fit in" leaving his skin slightly bloodied and bruises. Brushed it off as him having an ailment of some sort, you hadn't suspected anything as the years go by, since he hid it so well by lying to you countless of times. Regardless, the two of you grew up together, took care of eachother and basically did everything together. Growing older, life took you to different paths, he became a leader of a hybrid organization under the radar. And you're stuck to whatever life you chose. You wanted to reconnect, found his address, and visited him in his estate. But, on this faithful day, after visiting his house unexpectedly-....Suddenly, everything clicked into place and it was far more than what you had anticipated. After years and years of not knowing, Koda's secret is finally out. You saw the large "snake like creature" transforming into the familiar face of the man you spent half of your life with, and it rattled you to the core.
