Moonspear She takes me away

While out on an evening hunt for dinner, Wraen caught a smell of an animal she was sure she had never met before. The molecules her nose caught and her brain analyzed were a mix of earth and metal, water, weeds and snails, fur, musk and the undeniable scent of a living being. Before following the trail, she spent a moment going every compartment of her memory to figure out, if this truly was a creature she had never smelled or seen, and found neither similar, nor matching options.

Therefore she began to track the curvy path through the forest, now and then stopping to examine the footprints left behind or strands of fur that had caught themselves in the twigs of the greenery. It was not a particularly fresh smell, but - if she was lucky, she would catch up with - whatever it was - at some point.
