The air is heavy as you make your way through unknown territory, as you pause to sniff the air a drop of rain falls onto your nose. It is soon followed by another and another and soon the rain is pelting down in sheets, soaking you to the bone. The clouds are an angry purple and the menacing drumming of thunder rolls over the sky. Squinting your eyes against the blinding water you find yourself at the edge of a large, dark pine forest. You are too desperate for shelter to notice the scents that mark the border and plunge in, and nearly into the chilly stream that runs through the territory. You veer away and as you are shaking the water out of your fur you notice a large pair of icy blue shards gazing at you. The storm has passed now and beams of sunlight filter through the thick canopy of pines, illuminating a massive male wolf not three feet away from where you stand.

His pelt looks like a bad patchwork job of black and white and beneath them you see large, hard bands of steely muscle and you know this is a warrior for his torso is marred with many battle scars. His banner curls over his back and his lips are drawn, exposing sharp ivory daggers. When he speaks his voice is deep and dominant, like the thunder you so recently heard.

"Wolf, you have found yourself in the terra of the Andere Seite Pack. I am Eclipse, king of this land."

It is only then that you notice another pair of lanterns gleaming in the penumbra and a dark-pelted fae slinks out into the clearing to stand next to the king, her own banner waves and her green and blue eyes bore into you. She is the same size as most males and a crisscrossing pattern of scars show that she too can take care of herself. Her voice is cold and has a snake-like sound to it yet you can see they are both fair rulers.

"And I am Nephthys, queen of Andere. We don’t care much for strangers so you must make your choice, Submit to us now or flee our lands and never return. If you fail to do either you will have little time left to regret it."

The formidable pair pierces you with their gaze and you feel as if all your secrets spill out before them. You are left with a decision now. Will you submit and take refuge in this dark forest or will you flee and never know what secrets these trees hide? Make haste, you can see that the pair grow tired of waiting.

Nephthys was tired. She was tired of life in general these days. Her heart seemed to beat heavily inside of her chest like a ten pound weight. She was alone, still, and didn't want that to change. She was tired of company even though she'd had little since Eclipse had left. She was sick of the pain in her chest. Sick of the hope that he'd come back. Where was Zanzibar? And Kimani? She missed her family, though she didn't feel like searching for them.

Her wounds from the lynx attack had all but healed. Only the one that scared her heart remained. It was like a brand that wouldn't stop burning until it had eaten her alive. She growled, frustrated with her pitiful mental state. She could feel the insanity in her mind like a virus. She could feel it crawling around her brain, twisting her thoughts when it touched them. But what was she to do about it? Nothing. There was nothing she could do. And frankly, she didn't care.

She stretched and stood up, her limbs aching with disuse. She stared at the shadows for a while, wondering if it was finally time to race back into them. Run back to them as if a lover. She snorted and shook her head. That was just insanity. But it was time to move. Time to run. Without further delay, she took off, racing into the trees. One instant she was there, and the next she was gone. A ghost in the trees, haunting you.
