Neverwinter Forest If You Go Out to the Woods Today

AW, perhaps someone from the nearby Silvertip Mountain :)

Before the light of dawn touched the plateau, Koda had risen from his den and quietly slipped away. The wolf had made his way across the flatlands, and headed West toward the dark forest looming on the horizon.

At the halfway point, he discovered fresh scent markers around Silvertip Mountain. A wolf pack had settled the previously unoccupied territory. Koda skirted the boundary and continued on his way, hoping to avoid a confrontation with one of his new neighbors.

The sun was up by the time he reached the trees, but the forest canopy grew so thick that little light filtered down to the ground. Not only was it dark, but it was unnaturally quiet and still, save for the rustling of the wind in the branches. The creepy atmosphere set the wolf on edge.

He was poking around, investigating tracks and smells, when his keen ears caught the rustle of movement. Koda lifted his head and looked in the direction of the sound, and glimpsed a dark body flitting through the trees. His hackles bristled in alarm. "Who's there," he demanded, assuming the shadow was another wolf.
