River Bound

A young otter shifter, Stanley, yearns to become one of the greats - a lifeguard - in their little, secluded, utopian community. Lifeguards in the community are valued above all others, presented like servants of gods rather than any mere mortal, and Stanley desperately wants to be like them. However, finding that they are physically unfit for the job, they find purpose in tracking and scouting under the leadership of the legendary Aldan Costa, lifeguard commander.

After a few months of training, Stanley enjoys the privileges of being one of the best students, and gets equipped to lead a mission to retrieve a package.

Until a terrible tragedy strikes, and they are left without a home.
