Great Bear Wilderness Demons among us

Set just outside past Nightwalkers borders.

They had come to an agreement. Tzila the Shadow Queen and Black Hat would travel together, north towards Neverwinter Forest. It made sense, during these times to strike out in search of answers. Of possible allies. To go it alone would be foolish, with the quakes growing more frequent...more violent by the day. Tzila considered herself a hardened survivor, but she had never been through anything quite like this. She wasn't stupid.

Although she much preferred to be active at night, given the choice, this time logic out won desire. A recon mission across a volatile landscape cloaked in darkness was unwise. During these times, she would rather see any potential danger well in advance than running into it blindly at the last second. They would rise early, she had decided. She would not rest long - only for a few hours. Tucked inside an old fox den, curled in an inky ball of thick fur, she blended in seamlessly with the darkness. The tight quarters inside and the shadows which wrapped around her like a blanket were normally a source of comfort for her. But not tonight. Dreams...memories plagued her sleep. Of him. The bane of her existence. She growled softly, barely a whisper at first. Then her jaws clenched, teeth grinding painfully. Behind her eyelids his familiar face flashed, plastered with that smug, shit eating grin she hated so. Taunting her...always taunting. Stop haunting me...
