Drakestone Island, Wolfwood...

Wolfwood was not somewhere you wanted to be at night, especially with all the ruthless predators lurking about in the darkness. The moon was shining brightly overhead, piercing through the treetops high above. Some trees stood tall, while others were closer to the ground. Other than a few chirping crickets, the forest was deathly quiet. Maria and Sakuya found themselves wondering these woods after walking for several hours on foot. If they wanted to find any signs of an Amarok, their best bet was to search for a cave or large burrow in which it would take shelter. An atmosphere of unease settled in the farther in they ventured, almost like they were being watched by something, or somethings.

Maria's eyes dilated as she took in as much light as possible to see her surroundings. Her tail was still and her ears flicked about nervously, attempting to find any form of sound that was not her or her companion. She gently and carefully used the end of her staff to move aside leaves and branches as she searched for the entrance to a cave. "Keep on your guard Sakuya and keep your eyes open for any cave openings that they might be living in." Maria's voice didn't have the usual chipper tone that it had, likely as an attempt to keep from drawing to much attention as she kept the volume of it down as well.

Sakuya kept her hands on the sheathe and handle on her katana, not wanting to draw it and risk the moonlight reflecting off the steel, but wanting to keep where it could be drawn at any moment. Her ears flicked around as she listened in around her. Both girls were taking advantage of their low light vision in an attempt to find a cave, Sakuya sniffing in the air on occasion trying to pick up a strong scent of their target. Only picking up the scent of other animals nearby, small animals at the moment mostly. Sakuya looked over and gave a silent nod to Maria.

(I apologize for taking so long. Been taking care of some things on top of not having many bright ideas for you guys.)

From the shadows could be hurt the breaking of branches as footsteps came closer and closer towards the vulnerable girls as they made their way deeper into unknown territory. Even though they were on guard, they didn't realize that they had been followed by a pack of anxious Dire Wolves for some time now. They quietly crept out from the wood work and surrounded the two adventurers in hopes of an easy meal this night, since it's been slim pickings for them as of late. Even if they ran now, they wouldn't be able to get away from the starved animals. The only choice they had now was to fight for their survival.

The panic that stuck the wolf terrified Maria. She wanted to hope that it was just her being lucky, but that was highly unlikely. The young girl collapsed with her back against a tree as she tried to catch her breath. "I really hope I don't have to fight anything for a bit, that'd suck~." She giggled to herself softly as she began to feel the fatigue settle into her body. She held her staff close to her as she took what time she had to rest herself up from her endeavor.
