Thought I might join…? Too good to pass up, but if you already have something going on or this is too many people, ignore me and we will stalk away grumpily (me not so much). =)

What had seemed like a simple task had turned into something difficult. Jaden had gone looking for a city to regain some of his used supplies from and hopefully find some spices in. Traveling for the past few days though, had revealed no cities, towns, or even small villages to loot. Now he approached the edge of the Dampwoods and the terrain began to get rockier. The Halcyon Mountains were getting close.

When the ground leveled out into a valley of sorts, the Alaskan finally decided he would turn around soon. He had that aching feeling in his gut that he was lost and had long past any Nova Scotia cities. He decided turning around would be a good idea, but only after he explored this valley for a village. Who know what the trees hold. He thought to himself bitterly. One of the few things that annoyed Jaden more than coyotes was being lost like he refused to admit he was now.

Not traveling far into the valley at all, the annoyed Secui was forced to then cross a small river. This worsened his mood because it played on his deep fear of cold water. Grumply, he tried to move down the river a bit looking for an easy crossing point. Then, Hiting the boarder of Inferni was similar to kicking the poor male in the groin. Not only did he then have to face the fact that he was lost, because he had accidentally hit the boarder, but also because he had to cross the river now and was very near coyote territory. He cursed and glared at the river, wishing he could part it with magic and avoid the water.

Eventually, the now blatantly angry wolf forced himself to splash through an only ankle deep section of the river as quickly as possible. His urgency caused splashing and in turn also caused him to get wetter than if he had just waded through it. Once this painful endeavor was completed, Jaden stalked away from the Inferni boarder only a little ways until, still soaking wet, so he could no longer smell their putrid stink. With the mood he was in, he could easily turn on a coyote now, even if they spouted a small amount of inoffensive balderdash.

The simple task Jaden had set out on yesterday had now become just plain annoying. The Secui was having a bad day now. He was getting ready to finally turn around, as he walked along growling to himself, when he sighted the form of a dark wolf ahead of him. A huff of relief escaped his nose when he noticed the male was not coyote. A question of why the stranger was so close to Inferni crossed his mind. Perhaps he’s lost? Jaden wondered. It would definitely make him feel better if he was not the only one.

His temporarily fleeted bad mood quickly returned when not one, but two coyotes entered the scene. The Assassin suddenly wished he had his weapons and Optime form handy when they both took more dominant and slightly aggressive stances toward the unknown wolf. His weapons were packed tightly into the leather satchel strapped to his shoulders though, and he did not feel the need to dawn them for this. We are near those thing’s pack lands. The might just be asking him why he is so close, He thought bitterly to himself, though he felt they should just accept any wolf near, or even on their pack lands without question.

Coyote cowards. They’ll only attack in groups. Potent thoughts like that kept pushing on his consciences as he watched them pester this wolf. Hearing “Wolf Scum” only aided such thoughts into enraging Jaden. He hoped the two coyotes attacked. He would help this male tare them apart. If they didn’t attack, he would likely leave. He held no interest in conversing with coyotes.



Jaden does. "Jaden speaks." Jaden thinks.
