the 13th hour • DISCOVERY THREAD

@Meldresi notice: this will serve as a discovery thread for spooky blackfeather woods

By nature he was not a purely a creature of the dark. But in life the beast had been drawn to the veil of shadows where he dissolved into nothingness and went unseen. He found the hushed sounds of night soothed him most when he choked down raging restlessness which went unheard. So to Leatherface, this unsolicited discovery at the edge of Wilds came as a safe haven which he was loathed to eventually leave. Life seemed stagnant, save for the punctuated call of birds that would let their prescence be known. But otherwise, it felt to him, as if he'd been cut off from the bustling rush that seemed constant out of the wood.

Subconsciously he took so much pleasure in the peace he found that he went so far as to mark the base of a root, moving forward to brush his scent against the bark of the tree it belonged to. When he pulled away Leatherface was surprised to see something had fallen from his coat. It was a spider. He'd crushed the life from it's small body, tearing off two legs in the process. Curious to what he'd done, he leaned forward to watch the small thing wither beneath the gaze of it's killer.
