Out of Character: Yay Shanta for being awkward as possible! Word Count: 337
Shanta had left the village before dawn today. She had set off with a shawl on her shoulders and an empty satchel hanging down her side. Now, she was on her way back to the village from the woods near the D'Alli Ranger Station. She had been out collecting herbs for her new home. She had finally decided to get a small hut built for her. Now, she needed to fill it with items to make it more homey. In order to do that, Shanta had gone out to collect feathers, stones, glasses, and different herbs. The herbs she collected were mainly cleansing herbs, bay leaves, comfrey, coltsfoot, dandelion, lavender, etc. Her satchel was heavy and full of all of her new décor items. Shanta fixed her satchel, adjusting it so that it was more comfortable. She was finally getting to the working fields, her eyes taking in the damaged fields. She saw a dark figure standing in the fields. Her eyes took in the feminine characteristics and her nose picked up a faint scent. It was Luna. Shanta was a watcher, she knew everyone even though she really didn't know anyone. She realized that she was quite alone in the pack, she had no friends.
Before she knew it, Shanta was making her way across the fields, her path heading straight for Luna. She wasn't quite sure what she was going to say and she suddenly realized that this had been a bad idea. She silently wished she had curved around the wolf. Her sudden impulses often got her into awkward situations, but she was already heading straight towards the she-wolf. Shanta continued on her path and as she got closer to the other wolf she noticed the small weasel on her shoulder, Luna's Spirit Guide. “Hello,” Shanta called as she came within a good ten feet of Luna. “You're Luna, right?” She remembered hearing of her return from her Spiritual Journey. She had obtained her spirit guide, one of the highest honors in the pack.
