The next day I touched the head of our dear dog Hotame, and my vision got a golden sheen as I felt the spirit of Hotame and asked him to do something more complicated than I've ever asked him before. As soon as I was done he left and immediately did as I asked; he ran around the house, patrolled the property's perimeter, ran inside, jumped on our children's beds, and returned to me. It was remarkable, like nothing I had ever seen, perfect. Soon I tried it again, and again. Eventually, I realized, that while physically it took no effort at all, it was taxing upon my spirit. But like the body and the mind, the spirit can be exercised as well, learn to gain endurance. I had thought myself to be strong in spirit, but the truth was I had never had to exercise it before. That has changed, and so will I to adapt.

I recall in the world I lived in there was a theory about how some people were from the world where there were The Berenstein Bears, but that that world had The Berenstain Bears. I think I went the other way now. I remember there was an organization called OWL, that existed to help preserve cryptid life. I had planned to aid them, maybe become their spokesman. Now they don't exist. There's no CryptoLeaks. So many things that I knew are now gone. Everything since that last contract feels like it has come from The Twilight Zone. I think there's something at work behind the scenes in this dark new world. I feel paranoid, but I know the world around me is different, this isn't my world, my old world contained my purpose, this one only contains my life. My family, my tribe, my children, they're all here, but it's not the same. I need to explore this world more, maybe I can do a contract, see if these changes ended up being a good thing. Things were getting dark in my old world, will they grow light in this one?

I simply hope it is not one I am making too hastily... I really don't want to get this wrong.

I don't know this world fully, it is not unlike my own, but there are some very clear differences. While I was in my home world I knew my goal, and there was an organization that could help me do it. I knew I would go to them and we would make the world a better place. Now I am here and it doesn't exist, and I thought I was lost. I realize now that I must create this organization; I need to make the Occult Wildlife Landing. (Or at least a version of it.)

I have noticed a few other changes in my as well. As my powers grow I find that the animal's spiritualism influences me as well, the predatory instinct to fight back challenges in me grows.
