During the day, sentries guard the sleeping. When the sky is dark and the moon dances with the stars, this is when the real fun begins. Munashii Gekko's forest is the only haunt where you can find your local misfits all in one place. A land of the forbidden and forgotten, a place that is riddled with dangers of a whole different kind. The wolves here have long misplaced their rightful minds, and now live like creatures damned to prowl and lurk through the night. It's easy to lose yourself here, sanity was sure to fade away and wither; there was never anything normal about this nefarious nest. The silent threats that whispered in the breeze were enough to deter even the largest of demons around. It was not strength nor wit that ensured your survival here with Eric, and challengers would be torn down with a morose lethality - there was nothing left in his cold blue eyes that promised mercy to anyone who dared to overstep their worth. So, would you give up the sun for the moon and stars? Do you have enough vigor to become a well regarded sentry? - Put on a game face to step up and pass the sepia king's test or turn and leave before he catches your scent. You never know who wants to snack on your delicious blood in this forest.

Fear Makes People Do Terrible Things  |
_________________________________________________________________________ The brute was surprised at how he was actually connecting with one of his packmates. It had been so long since he had a connection with another wolf, and Anastasia was the first one in this pack that he had actually conversed with. Sure he had spoken briefly with Milo when he joined the pack, but this was different. And he was surprised to find that he really liked being around Anastasia. She was easier to talk to than he had anticipated. The brute then did something he wouldn’t normally do, and closed the distance between them, sitting closer to the female. He saw her orbs widen in shock as well, and his paws stopped for a moment, unsure if he was making her uncomfortable, but something told him it was okay and he proceeded to sit so his plume was touching her in what he hoped was a comforting way. The young male was still nervous and unsure if what he had done was okay, but when Anastasia didn’t shy away but instead leaned into his touch, he relaxed. He didn’t realize that he had been tensing his muscles until he felt the relief of them relaxing. Lupin could feel how her form was stiff at first, as if each were testing the other one out to see what was okay and what was not. He too leaned into her touch, surprised to see that he enjoyed feeling the warmth of another body against his own as their different hued pelts blended into one for a moment. Green orbs watched her curiously, glad to see that he was not the only one growing comfortable around what had been a stranger not long ago. “It’s quite alright. I did not think that you were being intrusive. It’s just… difficult for me to describe sometimes.” Their eyes met as she spoke, and Lupin realized how beautiful she looked when they connected. He blushed as he averted his gaze, embarrassed. He had never thought that about another before. The scarred male had never had a crush before, was this what it felt like? Halina was the only other female he had really gotten to know before, and even if she was younger she had a female mate already. And lupin had always seen her as someone to look up to, as his teacher and mentor. Not someone to grow these feelings for. The femme listened as he shared his story, something that he had not expected to do. But he was surprised that he was not uncomfortable telling her about his past. She had shared about hers, and she was nice, so why not tell her? His gaze would flicker back up to hers occasionally as he talked, and for a moment he stumbled over his words when he saw her horror struck features. But he was already in the middle of telling it, so he figured it best to just continue. Instead of leaving him because of his haunting past as he half expected her, she wrapped her plume around his form and pushed her cranium into his shoulder. He could not remember the last time he had been embraced by another, and for a moment he stiffened. But it only lasted a moment before he melted into her, his plume coming to entangle with her own as he relaxed into her. He had never told anyone that much detail before, and it had been a long time since he let himself feel emotional about it. The two lupines remained in the embrace for a moment, Lupin both uncomfortable and thankful for the support Anastasia had shown him. He was not used to feeling so vulnerable, but it was also nice to let go for once. When the femme spoke up, the male pulled his head away from her, meeting her gaze as she spoke, “That is terrible… I am so sorry about your pack, as well as your parents…Please, don’t think wrong of me… I do not care for anyone in my previous home now, as you must imagine. But there was once a time when I could not bear the thought of losing a single one of them, so I cannot imagine what you must feel... I’m sorry that you had to go through that.” The multihued femme had taken a step back from him as she spoke, her vocals echoing in his head as he processed the connection he had just made with another. “I’m sorry about Halina, too. But I am glad that you decided to come to Wudubearo,” Anastasia offered him a small smile and his own features opened up into a smile as well, returning her gesture. ”It’s alright. I can’t change the past, but is behind me now. And Halina is still out, I suppose we could always visit each other if we had the need.” He realized that he had not thought to visit the other female at all, but at least it was an option. ”I am glad I came here as well. And I am glad to have finally made a friend.” The brute hoped she wouldn’t think less of him when he admitted that he didn’t have friends. Would she think there was something wrong with him? He hoped not. The scarred male had been sitting for a while as he had talked, and he rose to his paws, stretching out his limbs as he did so. Green orbs continued to glance at the female, unsure if she would want time to herself now that they had exchanged some personal stories, but he was content to get to know her more if she wanted. ”Would you like to walk through the pack? I’m still getting used to the lands after everything changed.” The lanky brute walked towards the trees, his green orbs turning back to look at Anastasia to see if she would like to join him, or if she would prefer to be on her own now. He hoped that she would want to walk with him, but he also would understand if she wanted her space. He often felt exhausted after long social interactions and needed time to himself, especially after the conversation they had shared, so he could relate to that. But he enjoyed being in her company.
