Don't feel like you gotta match, its mostly just travel details since he's approaching from the mountain-side vs the coast-side.


He found travel much easier when he stopped thinking about it, which was often the case with Revui to be totally honest. He ran, he climbed, he watched for drops in the earth or dangerous routes to avoid, but otherwise kept his mind empty and let the mountain determine where he ought to go.

When the sound of rumbling grew deafening around him, he snapped his attention around. There was an immense lake veeing away from him, emptying down the side of the mountain to some stone flats, and then further, becoming a massive declination and set of falls that blocked his path. He nosed around the edge of the lake for an hour or so before finding a shallow section to fjord, and then had to stop on the other side.

The mountains looked to have been cleaved clean apart, here. There were ravens hovering in the hot currents of air as if to pick apart a carcass, and some dropped in to acrobatic displays as they descended towards a vein of the mountain below. Revui watched them, following at a liesurely pace, until they vanished among the trees. He felt his ears pop from a change in the pressure - he must have hiked quite a ways.

The smell of blood hit his nose, warm, fresh. He prowled closer and when one of the ravens noticed him looming there in the dark, it belched out a few deep notes and flapped its massive wings, taking flight briefly to find safety in a tree. Revui watched this and then turned his attention back towards the blood scent, where a pale wolf rested.

The woods have always been filled with these soft doe-eyed things;
with hearts beating for the arrow, the bullet, the lance.

I have always been the huntsman.  ⤑
