Occasionally a people forget this and try to build themselves up as separate, as a godly creation without the warm chaos of the natural world.
This tends to draw the attention of the first people, which isn't a good thing, but is a story for another time.

Now a thousand generations later, very occasionally a bone deep memory stirs and an infant changes to one of their ancestral beasts, a changeling often stolen away by others of their kind.

The second people were as variable and weak as people can be and this was their strength

Yeah, exactly. I had an MRI to rule out the more dangerous causes for fainting and chronic migraines. It took multiple years of passing out to even get to that point. There is nothing routine or preventative about it in a healthy person.
