Finding the forest for the trees

**Firebringer** · Sep 23rd, 2011 09:47 PM

Southside Park was never a populer recreation spot, facilities run down due to lack of funding. But even what traffic it had enjoyed had quickly faded under the influence of an ancient forest spirit. The spirit had been driven away, but its presence is still felt in the thick, light-choking woods that have laid claim to most of the parkland.

Matthew lopes into the park in Urhan, stopping well outside the boundary of the forest to wait for his pack to catch up. This place gave him chills, even now. It was still wrong. But perhaps that distaste had kept him from his duty. He still wasn't sure what to expect here. But that was what packs were for.

Stefan bounded up behind him, the stocky black wolf glancing around at the forest with eyes that were just as intense as his human form. He felt a knot of nervousness stuck in his guts as he perched back on his haunches, waiting behind his Alpha. The fact that there were two more of them here could only be good- even if one of them was Carter.

Scratch that. Carter could probably kill them all by doing something stupid, at least.

He tried to crush the knot of nerves that were rattling around his ribs.

Sally dashed into the park in urhan and caught up to Stefan, she gave him a playful nip and then took off up to Matthew. She always enjoyed going for a run with her family. She dashed into and out of a bush before stopping next to Matthew and giving him a nod of his head. She then looks back to see if the others are keeping up.

Ben Keeps pace with Sally, he was still getting used to the whole shape shifting thing not to mention running on all fours in Urhan form. He was unsure if he was supposed to be looking for anything so he just followed. He truly hoped, that perhaps with this run he could show the pack, that he was not a threat to them especially with Stefan.

Bringing up the rear of the pack was a grey wolf the size of an Irish Wolfhound. He could have easily kept pace through sheer size, his legs were half again as long as those of the other wolves and his head came up to a grown man's shoulders, but he stayed back at an easy trot out of respect for the pack and his nonexistent status within it. The enormous wolf was light grey, with an undercoat of brown showing through, and his jaws were open in a canine grin as he took in the scents of the park.

Moon is Crescent

The creeping autumn chill is accompanied by long shadows, deep whispers as wind flies through leafless trees. Further, on the horizon, towards Sacramento, there are lights....but not here. Not in this recluse of wilderness in mans jungle, as the wolves hunt in the unknown darkness. Well, unknown for the humans, but not for the wolves who had scoured their territory for years. Familiar paths appear to Sally and Matthew, and the rest are quick to fall in and follow through in the darkness.

The night air, though windy at the onset of the night, stills. The woods quiet as the predators stalk through their hunting grounds.

Perception rolls, please!

Urhan bonus rocks!

As darkness closes around the pack, Matthew calls on his nature as a Meninna to grant him sight. A quick stumble in surprise as the gift fails him, but after a moment to center himself the darkness lifts.

5 suxx, night sight on second attempt

Stefan growled amusedly at Sally as she nipped him, finding the light-hearted tug making him feel a damn sight better. Like being wailed on by an older sister. He sniffed the air, his intense eyes flickering around.

Sally continued on the path, perhaps her playing around had caused her to not be paying attention
