Welcome to Gaia! ::

A vast northern forest, it's tall thick trees always cast shadows obscuring the ground. The ground itself is littered with rotting logs and broken branches giving the casual traveler a sense of unease when walking through them. It would be best to trust that instinct since these forests are home to the last tribe of dire wolf demons in Koumuru and in recent days, they have been quite agrresive.
A cold wind blows carries with it a cruel howl that is more chilling that the freezing temperature.

A cold wind blew through the trees causing the dead vines to rattle against each other. A silent crunch, a small pale hand pushing vines from her path. Tikki walked into an empty clearing, her ears stood listening for any threats. She kneeled near the center of the space to gather some dirt. A sniff told her a pack of dire wolves had been through here but nothing out of the ordinary. From there she dropped the dirt and moved past the clearing. A noise from above alerted her attentions, with a few bounds she stood in a tree cluching a crow in her hands. A smile crossed her lips as she thought to herself what a fine lunch it would make.

Tikki smiled and looked down to Nandemonai. A small leap landed her a few feet away. She bowed slightly as was the way she came up. "Hai. I have not eatten in hours. How have you been my lady? Well, I would hope." She continued to hold the bird in her hands as she spoke not wishing to be rude. She was not really all that hungry, but they were birds. Birds had always had an interesting affect on her. She was calm as of now, her ears only slightly relaxed and her tail swaying slightly with the breeze. The moon caught her attention as the pack of dire wolves she sensed had come this way howled the praise of the Lady Luna.

Tikki nodded in reply to this. The wolves had grown restless recently. They were now constantly on the move singing praises to the mother yet as much as they moved they rarly fought among themselves. She was growing worried with them, it may have been many years ago they warned her to stay away, but they were her family. In her eyes that would not change. She would never fear them. She returned her gaze to Nandemoni with slight concern. "I fear they sense the coming of something. I feel it to, a great change is coming."

Tikki took a look around at the ground tracing the steps of the large male dire wolf who lead their pack. She kneeled down and lay a hand on the earth beside a step examining it closely before looking back up at Nandemonai. "I do not think it is as much them all being sick. It does seem as if the alpha male is moving strangly. His gate has changed since last I saw. He may be growing... unstable in his old age. If this is the case.. I fear for the pack." She looked out through the trees before jumping swiftly into one and scurrying to the top branches. She looked out over the darkened woods she called home and sighed. Something was coming.. though what it was remaind unclear.

Tikki slid down to crouch on a low hanging branch. "That could be the energy I sense in the air. This strange disturbance maybe." She tilted her head to the side a bit in slight curiousity. "I have never left the Shadow territory so I would not know, but if you wish, my lady, I will look into this for you." She nodded to herself. She may still be young but if she did not explore the territories she would never learn anything new. "Anything I could do to help, I have pledged myself to this land, My home."

Rainy crunched low in a three and let her presence be known to all. "So many dogs... " Rainy said sneering, "Oh what a pitiful sight..."
