Forest of Wonder

[Hunhow]

Zane was about to.speak again until the arrival of the stranger startled him.

[Fuzzpaws]

(FYI, the Wolf has left the area.. )

[lightstone]

"okay what just happened?!" Light said as if everybody there was his friend

[Rayleonarde]

Valentine shrugged. "Uh...you got whupped for being a thief?" She shook her head. "Anyway, its getting late, I think. I'm probably gonna set up camp here for the night." Valentine went to check her sword, and winced when she accidentally cut herself. A droplet of blood, hardly a thimble full, hit the grass, staining a blade red. "Yeowch," cried Valentine. "Gotta be more careful."




A three hours walk south, the mad raccoon stopped. He raised his nose to the sky, and sniffed.
"That smell...the sickening sweet," he whispered to himself. "I can smell it. Oh...fresh blood." He crouched, and howled upwards like an animal.

[Hunhow]

""You alright?" Zane moved close. He heard a faint howl in the distance

[Rayleonarde]

Valentine nodded. "Yeah. Just nicked my paw." She sighed and shook her head. "I don't even use swords. I use magic normally. I'm too clumsy for swords."

[Hunhow]

"Well no one's perfect"

[Serena Moon]

"Here, I have a med kit. You never know what may be around to smell it. Trust me. I've hunted sharks back when I lived along the shore."
The grey hare reached back and pulled out an elastic cloth bandage and a spring pin. She wraps up the small wound.
"There. Also it won't get irritated while you use your hand. I'm Syko by the way".

"I hate to CUT the moment short, friends," a fire-orange fox said, moving towards the group, eyes focused in the distance, "but we should probably get moving. That howl... there was something dark to it."

"Huh another fox. what is your motive for helping us?"
"Why do you want to warn us?"
"Pardon my suspicions but I have only known foxes to work cunning honey words to advance a personal agenda."

[AceDavross]

The fox presently being questioned, rather than making for a verbal and possibly physical spar, instead merely inclines his head, as if accepting the basis of the accusations.
"I do not blame you for your views, and personally am not so quick to trust in my own kind either. I assure you, though, that I am indeed here to help as I can, hard as it may be to believe. However, if you truly do not desire my presence, then I'll take my leave."

"I think your cause is noble, but I do not ask you to forgive me if I keep one eye open"
"Tell us more about what you know about this howl that we just heard"

[AceDavross]

Once more, the newcomer merely inclined his head, fully accepting the suspicion against him, knowing full well of the well-earned distaste for his kind.

"I find your concerns perfectly reasonable, do not worry. As for the howl... did it not sound strange to you, as if it didn't quite belong to... whomever it is that howled?"

The hare looked sideways at the fox, "I have heard many of monstrous cries in the dark but that was not as ere as such. I do not fear to whom it belongs to for if it belongs to whom made the call then one could size up the general ferocity of its maker.
"I dare say we proceed with caution. However, I do not see a reason to make way to avoid this trouble. We are well armed and this wolf madden you can tell is well versed in the arcane arts as well as my skill in arms. We have nothing to worry".

[lightstone]

"he's right" light randomly said "at least, can you tell me where that howl came from"
