Akela

Legend has it that when the first humans evolved, the Ambimorphs were already there, first as our protectors, and then our teachers. Over the centuries we've created separate worlds on the same planet. Every once in a while, those worlds collide.

Akela is a leader among the Ambimorphs, a great teacher of their songs, and the keeper of a prophecy that foretells the sunset of the human race. When a deal with the wrong side goes bad, he wakes up in the desert to find that he's lost three years of his life, his family has been taken by humans, and his community has scattered. With his people on the brink, Akela is offered a fatal choice: he can reclaim his family and save his people, but only at the cost of his heritage and history.

It's Akela's job to protect them, whether they want him to or not.
