Bramblepoint journey through mirkwood

that's how you know this is going to be special :'D

Nose down to the ground, Pyro was searching for cool souvenirs that he thought he could show Malice whenever he got back home. He already had a weird double acorn, a frozen berry and a stick that looked like a snake when a faint, inconsistent beating among the trees got the kid's bat ears swiveling around curiously. It was growing closer and louder, and when it was too hard to ignore Pyro lifted his head as he tried to find whatever creature was disturbing the forest's silence. He caught sight of another wolf in the distance, jumping around and sprinting from tree to tree as though he was hiding from something, but he wondered why he was making funny noises if he didn't want to be found.

For a moment Pyro considered turning tail and fleeing the other way... There was something strange about that guy. But whatever sane thoughts crossed his mind in that moment disappeared when the beating suddenly stopped. Pyro stood still, all senses on high alert as he tried to catch sight again of the wolf who'd just disappeared among the bushes. He sought him out with his nose, but his sense of smell was poor so he tried with his ears. The beating had returned, but this time it was coming from a completely different place and Pyro's pace quickened towards it. He was getting closer. It stopped again and appeared right behind him, but before he could turn to run after it again he tripped into a fallen log and fell right on his face with a sharp bark and a whine, probably failing at life for the fifth time that day.
