Riik-ss sat down quietly. He had heard something running through his forest. He thought of it as his forest now, though he had only been there a moon. So far, he hated it, but it was the only place he could live, and there was no arguing with fate.
He closed his eyes, blocking out all senses. If anyone had been there to watch, they would have seen him fading slowly into the tree he was leaning on. His consciousness expanded, covering the forest, searching for a host. There were a few birds, a squirrel, and... vampires?
He nearly exploded with rage. How dare they? He slid into a nearby owl, fighting the owl's mind out of the way. Unfortunately, the owl was flying, and the initial disorientation caused him to plummet to the ground, smashing into a hard-packed dirt clearing that he had never seen before.
