Vita doesn’t shoot alone anymore. Her finger pulls the trigger, but something older, wilder, and far more ancient whispers corrections over her shoulder. A pact sealed with bite marks and inked blood lets her channel the predatory instincts of the creatures she’s bonded with. Every shot isn’t just calculated—it’s ordained.
When Vita raises a firearm, faint glowing patterns—like claw marks, runes, or faint iridescent scales—flash briefly along the barrel. Her eyes flicker with a beastly gleam, echoing the color or mood of her bonded companions. The air grows unnaturally still for a heartbeat, then she fires. The projectile feels guided, veering slightly mid-air as if nudged by unseen paws, wings, or spectral horns. If she deflects an incoming strike, there's a sharp burst of animalistic noise—a hiss, a growl, a shriek—that echoes from nowhere.
Vita has never seen her Gifts as magic—they’re relationships. Contracts, favors, whispers traded in dark corners and glowing meadows. This Gift is the result of deeper synchronicity with her bonded creatures: her aim guided by predatory instinct, her reflexes enhanced by something barely contained in her skin. Whether it’s Bapha nudging her shot with unseen force, or a fae wolf’s voice growling “duck” just in time, she’s a vessel for more than human talent now.
Where bullets fail others, hers adapt. Her firearms don’t just shoot—they hunt.
