A storm is approaching! I have to find shelter! Kumo thought to himself as he ran swiftly through the coldest, darkest part of the forest. Though it was hard, earlier that day in an attempt to find food for the rest of his pack, the poor wolf had been attacked by a huge bear. Though he was a god, Kumo knew that even gods were not invincible like most tales tell. During the fight with the bear he had been wounded slightly.
The wound he had received though, wasn't that serious. It only worsened though when the bear managed to throw him from the cliff he was on and into the river below. As he ran, Kumo wondered how he had been able to survive the past few hours.
((Did I mention I hate starting off roleplays? Anyways, this is the best I could do for now...))

"Well time to prepare for my trip to the lake again" Tailithia yawned as she awoke from her slumber. "Hopefully i can collect a few plant specimens along the way for later!"
Tailithia proceeded to gather her broom and usual spell supplies when she noticed something out of the corner of her eye. *Kazu? Whats he doing this far out in these woods?* She watched Kaze pass by her hut and noticed that he appeared to be limping
*Hmmmm, this could be a chance to test that experimental brew....* at this thought she grabbed a flask filled with a sickly yellow colored liquid and Took off out the door to catch up to kaze.
'Note: Kazu is not a typo, she calls him that as her pet name' |

Kumo looked up suddenly to see Tailithia emerge from her hut. He had known the girl for several years and had secretly watched over her to make sure she stayed safe in these dangerous lands. But it was because he had known her for so long that he knew she liked to experiment on other beings. Therefore, as he watched her approach him, Kumo began to slowly back away cautiously. "Hehe.... What do you think you're going to do with that?" at this point he was eying the flask she was holding warily.

*Where did kazu go? I thought i saw him heading this way..* Tailithia was now confused *Maybe i went the wrong way?* It was then that she noticed some fur moving slowly away through the snow.
"Kazu! There you are!" Tailithia shouted running straight towards Kaze "Dont worry i have something that will make you feel all better" saying this she held up the flask of yellow liquid uncorking it "Now let me just apply a bit of this and you should be feeling perfect in no time!" she gleefully exclaimed approaching Kaze with the flask. |

His eyes opened wide as she had approached him even closer this time. After about a moments pause he then glared at her thinking What are you up to? He sighed, giving in and slowly limped towards her. "Alright, but make it quick! A storm is approaching from the east and I still need to catch something to bring back to the den." With no hesitation Kumo sat down and lifted his injured leg.

Seeing Kaze lifting up his injured leg Tailithia quickly took advantage of the situation and applied the potion to Kaze's leg *I sure hope this turns out better then the last one..* shuddering at the thought of the warped, twisted creature that resulted from her last attempt at this brew.
Almost instantly though the wound started rebinding at a rapid pace until there was no sign there had ever been an injury "Success! Im going to have to be sure to add that to my list of restorative potions!" Tailithia was shouting with glee when she noticed a weird pulse in Kaze leg.
*Uh oh..* before her eyes Kaze's leg seemed to split in two and duplicate leaving Kaze with an extra appendage "Oh shoot...dont worry ill fix this" with this she placed her hand on the extra appendage and after a few mutterings the leg seemed to retract back into the body "Well....not a complete success but im definitely closer!" She cheerfully exclaimed as she then pulled out her notebook watching kaze to see how well the potion had worked.

Kumo Rolled his eyes at the silly girl before noticing the now black sky with swirling, ominous clouds above them. "Look out!" he didn't waste any time at pushing Tailithia out of the way just as a stream of lightning came down from the sky where she had been previously standing. "That was a close one." he muttered. "We should probably go inside before this storm gets worse. I'll erect my wind barrier to block any lightning that comes down. I guess tonight, my pack will need to fend for themselves."

Tailithia looked shocked at the scorched ground where she had been moments prior *Jeeez! i could have been killed!* She noticed Kaze making a dash towards her hut and wasted no time in following
"Geoprotius!" Upon shouting this several stones shot up from the ground glowing as they started to conduct bolts of lightning and run them into the ground. *well that should at least keep the lightning from causing any nearby damage... but a lightning storm here? I rarely have any out here and this is far worse then any ive seen before..*
Tailithia proceeded to walk over to one of her various book cases and pulled out an aged leather bond book, after a moments studying she started to chant out a stream of words. As she did this the glowing stones outside started to go through a second change elongating and coiling farther and farther into the sky until a large pillar stood catching all lightning strikes. |

"I know, this is quite troubling," Kumo replied to her. Earlier this day he had originally intended to find food for his pack, but it seemed now to him that he'd need to investigate this strange storm. The Alpha leader pointed his head to the ceiling and howled, hoping that his pack might get the message. This howl however, could not be heard by normal humans unless he willed it to be. In which case, he allowed Tailithia to hear it.
"There, I hope they heard me.... if not then they might be in trouble but, I trust them," he explained. Letting out a huge yawn, Kumo decided it was nap time. He walked over to the fireplace and lay down on the floor and slowly drifted off into a deep slumber.

Tailithia was lost in thought watching Kaze drift off to sleep on the floor *This isnt adding up, the day was perfect until a short time ago so what could be causing this? Maybe one of masters old tomes will have something....*
With this thought she walked over to a sealed ornate bookshelf which strangely seemed to be the only well kept item in the house. Whispering her old code the polished silver front seemed to vanish revealing what seemed to be a long hall lined with aged books. *Not this one.....nope......hmmm maybe later...Here we go!* she thought pulling out a red leather book that was covered in strange patterns of onyx.
Taking the book back into her room she spent most of the night reading through the pages talking about old legends and lore until she came about a piece of information that caught her eye 'The forest of fog will become a bath of blood....lightning shall rain in the land of ice.....the land of light and beauty will contaminate and rot.....humans will turn on brethren and the forest of gold shall burn.....'
Tailithia found these excerpts very disturbing recalling similar texts on that alter in the forest she had come across "Kazu, wake up! I think something may be wrong...." |

Kumo opened his eyes drowsily to the sound of Tailithia's voice. After yawning, he stood up and walked over to where she was sitting in her room. "Yes, I know something strange has begun to happen," he said as he peered through a nearby window. The sound of the rain and thunder seemed to have stopped, which meant that it was now safe to venture outside. "It's almost time for me to go, will you be okay by yourself?"

Tailithia looked towards the sky noticing the lightning strikes seemed to have stopped but the clouds above seemed to be showing signs of only growing worse.
*Ive already constructed safety measures around my home so there should be no problem, but would you mind checking on something for me?* She then related to Kaze the location of the altar she had found in the middle Fuil Doire while collecting new herbs *Whenever you are able could you check the writing on the altar as some of these texts are very worn and i cannot decipher everything that is written*
With this she pulled out a glowing blue flask and splashed it on Kaze *Before you go remember to say hi to everyone else for me and come by if they need treatment!* and with this parting message the world seemed to shift around Kaze until he found himself in a section of the forest he knew was not to far from his pack but still quite a ways..... |
