Fleetlins

Fleetlins (vulpes chronos) are a creature found in the swamps of Huiran. Totally blind to the present, their eyes see only a window twenty seconds into the future. Because of this constant dislocation between their perception and reality, their unknowable movements are often deemed erratic or random. Their natural quirk means that they are often kept as amusing pets, though their foresight can sometimes be a lifesaving and invaluable asset in a variety of applications.

Fleetlins who are twenty seconds from their inevitable, unavoidable death, are allowed a brief glimpse of the roaring entropic apocalypse that awaits their soul at the end of its thread. Or so the followers of Octavia believe. Why else do they look so afraid in their final moments?
