Thank you, @mavariel, for drawing this scene from my first fanfic after Taniiaae first phases into a werewolf where she was nervous about talking to Sinding.

As someone who adores Sinding and has a whole fanfic series about him and my Dragonborn Taniiaae, this is incredible

TESFest, Day 1 - Beast

a portrait of a werewolf in a cage word count - 772 content warnings - descriptions of gore, violence.

The guards all glowered at him with disdain down here. Their prisoner. Their captive. A beast they believed that they could tangle in shackles and bars of iron and that these, alone, would be enough.

Sinding could still feel the warm flesh beneath his nails. The blood that matted into his teeth, his hair. Thick with red. Slinking down his throat, the fresh kill, the carnivorous urge bitterly satisfied. He bit back bile as the taste returned to his tongue and he tried not to lurch over the cement floors. He'd grown sick of memories. He'd grown sick of himself. Sick of Falkreath and this damn place and the damned Lord of the Hunt.

The ring clutched his finger. A reminder of what he was.

Sometimes, when the moons burned holes of piercing light into the small cell, he prayed he would transform and show them that he was telling the truth, he'd had no control, he didn't know what he'd done until he'd done it and he didn't know what to do to undo it all and every thought pounded its claws into his back, his skin, too fleshy, too soft, too full of meat.

But when he changed, he changed to lean muscle, to fur, hunger. To urges beyond fathom. To sharpness and nail. Fingers that could hook the tender kill out of the crevices, the teeth to gnaw, the monstrous. He was a monster. He shuddered in here at the knowing that brewed in his stomach.

He hadn't meant to hurt anyone. He'd stolen the ring to prevent this very thing from happening. All he'd wanted was a chance to have a life free of this bestial nature. Silver glinted mockingly from his hand. He'd stolen the ring for the sole purpose of ensuring none would know, and no harm would reach the unfortunate souls that crossed his meandering path. He had been a drifter so long, he'd forgotten how to be among them, the ones who did not change with the moons. He'd forgotten the smell of them, clean, prey-like. Sanctified by Aedra and living in the lights of their invisible gods, the ones who did not speak, did not move, did not breathe the way the Hunt could move, breathe, break him. His bones would crack under the weight of the Daedric Prince who mocked him from above.

Some nights, he swore he heard Hircine calling to him. "None will believe you," the whisper came in, clear as the call of an elk, "for you are trapped, and they are your hunters, and you are the prey."

He would curse the prince of the Hunt. He would deride him and mock and scream into the bleak dark that corralled him into this circular cage. He'd pace it and growl at the guards. First, he'd been pleading. He begged them to believe him. He begged for release, first from imprisonment, then for the release of Aetherius, the blessing of Arkay. Sometimes, the priest came by to speak with him, but Sinding would never look him in the eye. Runil would ask his questions and his voice would catch at the edges of his throat, and Sinding would envision ripping it out. He could practically hear the carving of sinew and snap of bone, feel the warmth against his short teeth, his human teeth, his teeth for chewing cud and spitting his words.

But he would never do this, for Hircine had decided that the ring would work only when he pleased, not when Sinding needed it. If he transformed now, he could escape. He could run far, far from here, into the wilds, track down the strange beast and hunt and break the curse. He had tracked it all the way here, so what point would there be in waiting?

The water sloshed around his human ankles - too short, too fragile - as he paced his circular cage. He could hear the guards muttering amongst themselves. They never spoke to him. He'd long stopped trying to speak to them.

This day, something breathed a new life into the air. The door to the prison opened, and a stranger in strange armor smelling of something… Unplaceable. Something that he could not name, a stench that wafted of smoke and acrid burning flesh, a stench of ancient bones and a scent of high and heavy winds, it seemed to cloud the stranger as they approached his cell. Unafraid of him. Unafraid of what lay before.

Sinding folded his arms over his chest, leaning his too-short-too-straight spine to the stone wall.

"Come to gawk at the monster?"
