Alys
Alys could practically feel the questions rolling off of Tal. What were they doing? Where were they going? She wasn't sure, but she was certain they were getting closer. There was a certain desperation in the back of her mind, but she was somehow detached from it, as though it didn't quite belong to her. But that was puzzling, so she simply pressed on, dark eyes studying the surroundings, on edge and not quite sure why.
"Oh," she said of the LongNight before, startled momentarily out of her strange trance. "It was the last LongNight I spent with my family." She thought for a moment, and when she spoke again, her voice had softened almost imperceptibly. "We didn't part on good terms, but LongNight last year... it was nice."
It was then that a metallic scent hit her nose, and she stopped in her tracks, frozen. They'd made it to the copse of trees, and the urgency in the back of her mind was stronger now. Whatever had called her here was just beyond the treeline, but whatever it was... "Careful," she warned Tal, her voice low. She crept forward, trying to make as little noise as possible, and peered through the trees into a small clearing.
The scene before them was not particularly reassuring. Blood spattered the snow in irregular intervals, leading to a pile of white on the other side of the clearing. At first, Alys thought it was a snowdrift, but then she realized that it wasn't snow that she saw - it was fur. The hair at the back of her neck stood on end. Ursur.
Strangely, though, the form wasn't moving. It wasn't particularly large for an ursur. Maybe it was young, or old, or just weak. Either way, the strange siren song that had led them here called Alys forth. With her bow drawn and pointed at that pile of fur, she said a little prayer to any god that was listening and took a step into the clearing.
