WC:3+ -anyone can join, will be an overnight/possibly multiple day journey.
There was a very thin layer of frost and snow sprinkled over the ground, air crisp and fresh, a sign that there would be no more spring snows for at least a few days. With the morning sun just barely peaking up over the horizon, a large and fluffy white Luperci crawled from the main entrance of the Anathema cave system. Standing at around six and a half feet tall, his tall frame was thin and lean, obviously young and still growing. There was a large sack hanging from around his shoulders, made from a tattered deer skin and patched together materials. While it looked ratted and old, he had layered the fabric a few times over to make sure that it was thick and strong.
With the completion of his first ‘craft’, working towards his rank as Abigor, the boy wanted to collect new supplies to continue with his crafting. If was fun, and he rather liked making new things out of pieces of nothing. There was a small knife strapped to his thigh, and the coming of age necklace hung around his throat proudly, the raccoon tail standing out sharply against his stark white fur. Red eyes like rubies shone brightly in the morning light as he looked around, wondering which way to travel first. Lifting his black nose into the air, the boy took a long, deep breath and held it, scenting the wind.
There was a faint, slightly salty smell coming from the southeast…and he wanted to explore it. Stretching, with a small grin pulling his lips up, Octavius began walking, looking around in all directions as he did so. While he hadn’t asked anyone to come with him on his little exploratory journey, he wouldn’t mind if anyone showed up and wanted to tag along. In fact, the company would probably be very much appreciated…but if it didn’t happen, he’d be fine just as well.
