Forest of shadows (OPEN)

Birds screeched in dark trees, creatures growled in the mist, and somewhere, something evil howled. Aran shivered uncontrollably. How had he gotten into this mess? Right. He had gotten lost when heading to a town. Very lost. Nervously, he glanced around, jumping as a twig snapped beneath his feet. Another snap. Aran whirled around, frightened. THAT had NOT been him. He fled through the thick undergrowth, just as it started to pour.

Aran huddled under a cliff in a ravine, shivering, both from the cold and from fear. His breath turned foggy in the cold night air. Or maybe it was day. He couldn't tell, due to the thick, thorny canopy. He wished he could just transform into Stormflight and soar out of there. But he wasn't going to risk flying through the thorns. He had aalready had his fair share of cuts from the brambles already. Not far away, the ten-headed, eight-legged Zeemos stumbled around the edge of the ravine...

The Zeemos tripped over a branch. It was wandering this forest (because dark creepy forests are fun!) when the heads got into a fight. Again. As each head slapped and insulted the others, The Zeemos slipped and fell, landing right in-front of Aran, who, properly terrified now, fainted.

F.U.R. stumbled his way through the brambles that lay at his feet. His ears were folded so far back that he could occasionally feel them in his shoulder blades. His legs were covers in cuts, and the pure white fur had been tainted with warm blood. He was tired, out of breath and scared. With each step F.U.R. took, the more pressure had weighed down on him. Suddenly, he stumbled over some plant and fell into a small hole under a tree, that could fit him in barely along with a little wiggle room. Tears ran swiftly down him face as he slowly closed his eyes. When he opened them up again, he saw a large beast, which made him want to crawl even deeper into his hole. Instead, he just laid there helplessly.
