Aplos Riverside

Moladion’s powerful, winding river...
Aplos River is a broad, slow-moving river originating from somewhere beneath the mountains of Spirane and feeding Iromar’s moors in the south. The northern parts of the river are known for their strong currents, with the water becoming slow moving in the south. The riverbanks vary along its course, ranging from soft hummock grasses to small groups of pine, and sometimes nothing but pebbles and sand. Crossing can be difficult at times, but it can be swam or bridged by fallen trees or boulders alike.

I had spent a good part of the morning rolling in mud and getting the scent of Diveen off my pelt. Some females are prissy little things, getting all work up about dirt but I don't care when it comes to work. I cover myself in mud and then easily wash it off in running water. I do this a few times, covering every inch of my large frame and cleaning it to a glistening purity once again. Yes, the scent of my homeland should be completely off me now, and then I lay in the sun to let my pelt dry off. I am a thing of beauty though I do not realize it myself, and my beauty is often overshadowed by my intimidating personality. I am serious business, a creature that rarely jokes but I know I can. I pay not mind to the glories of my creamy grey leg that lay out before me, speckled with dark grey and a little brown.I waited until the brunt of my pelt was dry, the bulk of black and dark grey on my top side before I stood up, stretching out with my black tail in the air, fangs parting into a yawn before I stood in all my glory once more. I do have a feminine body...sorta. It is overshadowed by my thick warrior muscles, my grand height as I am even larger than my Grandfather Heyel, equals with Azrael though he is male and has a pound or two on me. It is quite apparent that I am not a wolf to be toyed with, but few know that I am an assassin in training under the Greatest of assassins. Today, I am out to complete a task, and I will do it.

To cover my scent more, just in case, I stride towards the trees, and as I stride I hum in my sweet and tempting voice, like a siren it is so perfect and chilling to the ears. The grasses come up to my legs but start to lower when I come to the tall, slender trees scattered around. I keep moving, my nose to the ground as I look for a particularly aromatic plant, one that I find easily and then rub against with my frame. I sorta accidentally destroy the plant in the process, but plants are resilient things, surly it will come back from my destruction. I now smell of a plant perfume, it is sweet like my voice as I make my way through trees again. I know he had left the confines of the mists, this boy I need to find. I know he left and I am ready. I saw him come this way and then prepared my body for our little visit. I plan to not use violence, but instead use my manipulative powers to get the information I want. I do only wish for information, that is what Malina wants and really I think this Phobia is harmless, not really worth my time but it is merely practice for me. It should be easy for the both of us...I hope, I do not feel like whipping out my fangs but I will if I have to.

I continue to hum my song as I go, through the trees as I search for this boy, the rays of sun shining and glimmering upon my massive yet tantalizing form. My eyes of copper, so strong and determined, finally see this one I sought, pushing himself next to the tree. I am curious as to what he is going, hugging a tree like a pup to its mother. He can see me now, and I try to not look so regal and stiff, my face is still neutral but once I am a few yards I morph it into a rare smile. When I am with my those I know, or those who I am not getting information from, I keep my face static, emotionless and readless. But I want this boy to think I am friendly, a mere passerby who wished to have a short chat before going on her way. I walk up to him, keep my distance but have a friendly look, at least I think it is friendly I don't know, I don't exactly have a mirror to practice with and since I smile and act friendly so rarely, it may look weird. I give my tail a slight wag, my head tilting slightly as I look at him.

"Why is it you hug against tree? I is hearing there may be dangers in these parts, I is hearing of cannibals. You are careful, yes? I is not thinking tree will protect you?" I say, my voice sublime as my eyes look at the bark on the tree, head tilting the other way curiously as I observed it. I took a few steps to get a closer look. Yes, this tree would not help him, maybe block a hit but wouldn't do too much. I let my eyes wander back to him, ears perked in hopes of a reply, maybe he will give me insight, if he is one of these cannibals. We shall see.
