Here in the umbra he was truly frosted with rime, his features paler and crusted with the natural ice he seems to produce all on his own. Teeth and nails were clear and glint like ice, his hair dancing as though storm ridden even when the breeze has given him space.
Hell in a Hand Basket (Jun 8, 2011 7:45:20 PM)
*And sarah was right on that.. her experience with umbral travle would significantly cut down on the amount of work they would need to do.. Sister breeze left a icy chill over the trio before darting towards one of the airt paths and picking up some debree of twigs and leaves and making them float and dance by the path*
Adin Raines (Jun 8, 2011 7:45:29 PM)

Sarah Swiftfox (Jun 8, 2011 7:46:47 PM)
Wonderful my eager young space cadet. Ah theres one of the airt paths...*it probably appears as no more than a moonlit glimmer but as Sarah follows signs others might miss she'd lead them on the airt path which should join larger moon pathways*
Keening Sorrow (Jun 8, 2011 7:47:05 PM)
He nods to Sarah and grins broadly. "That's what we were hoping." He turns to the path highlighted by the young storm and chuckles. "Thank you, Sister-breeze!" He pats Adin on the shoulder, taking his time to follow suit with the Uktena, though he continues past that to the hispo.

*The glimmer of moonlight does indeed lead them to a moon bridge the bridge here looks very unstable there are cracks along its length that one might think it would give way under there heavy forms.. little boobs of light travle along it.. but when the brave wariors step onto it they find it strong and it seems to move up much like a bridge high above the umbral ground they found themselves on moments before.. the bridge was wide enough for the larger forms to travle but it was still a bridge with no railings and a dangerous unknown drop below..*

Hell in a Hand Basket (Jun 8, 2011 7:54:48 PM)
*They get to there first split on a bridge further along there journey it feels as if they have travled hours but really there moveing much faster on the moon bridge then they even think so the time they have spent would have been quaduple in the fleshlands worth of travle. *(Roll cosmology perception all three)
Sarah Swiftfox (Jun 8, 2011 7:54:57 PM)
*eyes Keening* You should lead for the most part. The Near Realm particually reacts to focus. Besides you might recognize something Wendigo'ish that tells us we are on the right track.
Adin Raines (Jun 8, 2011 7:55:13 PM)
*listens to the tale and relates it to some that he heard as a young metis cub... it seems to calm his nerves as he approaches... then navigates the bridge as it splits.)
Keening Sorrow (Jun 8, 2011 7:55:54 PM)
"The Wendigo are more rich and varied in culture than many might suspect, customs for each indigenous tribe differing depending on the terrain and availability of food and materials to work with, whether it is blocks of ice or walls of hide and wood to form shelters. The one constant is the harsh Winters, the prayers for the Sun to grow more powerful when it has been weakened too long." He looks out across the world as the bridge arcs, pausing to consider the paths split before them.

"Wendigo are brothers and sisters to the Winter storms, scouring the lands and purging it of taint.

"Many of great Wendigo's brood are cruel and unforgiving, even to His chosen, but that does not stop some from approaching these spirits for their secrets. A dangerous undertaking, given the ferocity of such storms, who may ask for difficult quests in return for their favour." He lowers his nose to nearly touch the icy path. "Wandering Oak was a strong woman, who had seen many places and fought terrible monstrosities with her pack. There were some secrets the Theurges do not share, and hidden things drew her out alone to the tundra when a strong storm was expected. While she waited for the storm, she stripped down to greet the harsh blizzard ice, beginning the summoning rites so she might speak directly to the spirit which drove the winds and snow to such frenzy."
Hell in a Hand Basket (Jun 8, 2011 8:07:32 PM)
*As they head to the right the air becomes increasingly colder and for all sarahs worry about sister wind they all feel there fur freezing a bit the air soooo crisp sooo cold that it hurts the lungs a bit when breathing in..

"The words that passed between the spirit and Wandering Oak remain a mystery to me, and I may never know as the years since her passing will only grow, never to diminish no matter the longing I may have to know the fullness of the sale. What I do know is that the storm ravaged her, body and spirit, bringing her back to her pack a different woman than the one who had gone out to greet the storm. She was weak and would have been barely able to crawl had she not known to push away the pain." His natural resilience to the cold and his thick fur resolute against the wintry features ot this path.

"Nine months passed, and she bore a child. A cold and still child who did not resemble her pure blooded mate, but she only saw a stillborn in the mid-wife's hands. Her shriek of motherly despair was met by a howling of its own, her child stirred to life with an unreal sound. She took her son and pulled him to her breast to suckle and silence his pain, knowing joy at his birth and life." He finishes his story, flicking an ear as Sarah asks her question.
Adin Raines (Jun 8, 2011 8:13:05 PM)

Keening Sorrow (Jun 8, 2011 8:13:35 PM)
"That was not the terms of the challenge, it must have meant something that I go to the homeland itself and resolve this mystery. I am capable of summoning the Ghost Pack, but there is more to it here." He whuffles softly and looks to Adin. "Tukcha."

*As they travled along They see the end of the glistening path laying before them in what seems a BLINDING white light glistening snowey expansion.. The tundra had harsh winds everything caught in a glistening frozen land scape.. Even the game here was sparce causeing the wendigo to fight for survival,.. It was increasingly hard as they exited the bridge and stepped onto the snow.. Those in lupus form would find there weight even on the top of the snow..

(please inform me when the ground is more stable... I will switch back to warform then)
Hell in a Hand Basket (Jun 8, 2011 8:41:29 PM)
*As adin headed deeper into the forest he would find a strong man sitting above the snow allmost a entire foot above the snow.. He was seated indian style and there was a fire blazing before him the flames of the fire oddly enough seemed to hover above the wood which was beneith it.. The man's features where not all that different from keening sorrows features as if they where some how related and this is where adins fetish had clearly led them*
Hell in a Hand Basket (Jun 8, 2011 8:42:05 PM)
*The ground here was more frozen then snowey allowing the others to stand in other forms if they choose to*
Sarah Swiftfox (Jun 8, 2011 8:42:23 PM)
*she risks a shift to Hispo*
Adin Raines (Jun 8, 2011 8:42:40 PM)
*changes to warform... which he finds the most comfortable... then nods to Keening... feeling a sense of accomplishment*
Keening Sorrow (Jun 8, 2011 8:46:01 PM)
He bumps against Adin in gratitude. ~ws~ "Thanks, Brother." He remains in lupus and pads closer to the fire and the man he had come to see. ~ws~ "Keening Sorrow is born of storm-ravaged woman, under dancing moon, accepted by Great Wendigo as had mother before. Packless Fostern of Shared Blood. I come with these two Elder Brothers, and seek the wisdom of Tukcha."
Hell in a Hand Basket (Jun 8, 2011 8:47:13 PM)
*The man looked to keening sorrow.. Slowly he tilted his head in curiosity..*Storm ravaged woman? *The spirit spoke in english for the sake of keening sorrow*
Adin Raines (Jun 8, 2011 8:47:50 PM)
(oh yeah I guess I could have translated there with spirit speech oh well... this is simpler)
Keening Sorrow (Jun 8, 2011 8:48:52 PM)
~ws~ "Wandering Oak born a son, a child of winter storms. Perhaps even O'ha'a himself."
Hell in a Hand Basket (Jun 8, 2011 8:50:23 PM)
Wandering Oak, yes I know of her, she is a desendant of mine.. She is here.. What is the tale you speak of? *either keening's mother did not share keenings birth with this ansestor or the anestor wanted keening to announce his mother more properly then storm ravaged woman*
Sarah Swiftfox (Jun 8, 2011 8:52:03 PM)
*huffs and lays down* ws Gee Keening Sorrow....you got a way with words.
Keening Sorrow (Jun 8, 2011 8:52:37 PM)
~ws~ "It is." He settles down on his haunches to look up to Tukcha. "She was a strong woman, and good mother. I am honoured to carry her blood in my veins."
Hell in a Hand Basket (Jun 8, 2011 8:53:38 PM)
*He nodded his head then looked at Keenings two friends* they are of older brother's children then? But do they not have names and deeds or ranks of there own as well?
Adin Raines (Jun 8, 2011 8:53:42 PM)
*glances at Sarah as she makes the comment... and remains silent out of respect between the ancestor and descendant"
Keening Sorrow (Jun 8, 2011 8:54:46 PM)
~ws~ "It is not my place to introduce them when they have voices of their own." He turns to look to the Uktena for them to make their introductions.
Hell in a Hand Basket (Jun 8, 2011 8:55:07 PM)
*He looked at keening* a gibbous moon one would think friends such as these that risk so much to see you safely retreve a tale would be given the honor of a grand introduction.. *He watched keening with a small sadness in his eyes wondering where tradition got lost along the way..*

*When no response comes Adin Steps forth* I am Adin Raines, deeded White Hunter, Cliath Metis of the Uktana, packless member of the Shared Blood Sept, a humble guide to Keening Sorrow upon his journey*
Keening Sorrow (Jun 8, 2011 9:01:38 PM)
He considers Sarah as she makes her introduction, and whuffs amusement at her final statement. When the metis has spoken as well, he looks to Tukcha canting his head thoughtfully as he studies the floating effect.
Hell in a Hand Basket (Jun 8, 2011 9:02:26 PM)
*He listened to the introduction of Sarah and then responded* Ohh well that is very thoughtful of you but I do like to hear such fasinating deeds attached to one of older brothers children. Uktena's wisdom certainly seems to have graced you with a multitude of secrets to have survived all that.. .*Then he looked over at Adin.. hearing he was metis and only a claith yet a guide.. So of cource he has to ask* what moon are you White Hunter of older brother?
Adin Raines (Jun 8, 2011 9:02:26 PM)

Adin Raines (Jun 8, 2011 9:06:28 PM)
*Inwardly scoffs at the spirits attempts to hear of Uktana secrets*
Hell in a Hand Basket (Jun 8, 2011 9:07:37 PM)
*The ansestor drew his gaze over the three.. A deep frown etched across his features as if they reminded him of something important.. and he cut the ragabash off with his next statement..*Claith.. *He looked at Adin..* Fostern.. *He looked at keening..*adren.. *He looked at sarah..* Forgive me for the connection between younger middle and older brother but some storys are brought to mind when one is faced with such farmiliar situations.. But that is not the story of this evening is it *He turned to face keening once more* the story you seek is mine?
Sarah Swiftfox (Jun 8, 2011 9:09:44 PM)
*she lays back down not at all offended*
Keening Sorrow (Jun 8, 2011 9:11:49 PM)
~ws~ "It is, I was tasked by a Fenrir to seek you out, in hopes of smoothing over ancient animosity and restoring honour."
Hell in a Hand Basket (Jun 8, 2011 9:12:29 PM)
*He nodded*I shall start at the begining then.. Try to keep up..
Adin Raines (Jun 8, 2011 9:12:46 PM)
*Listens attentively to the spirit but casts his eyes around taking in the area*
Hell in a Hand Basket (Jun 8, 2011 9:12:55 PM)
The king was pleased when his nephew shifted for the first time.
After A sucessful Passage the Claith took to a Viking Ship Far from his blood line.
Gaining renown for aiding a exiled SilverFang princess.
For a Silent strider he regained the eye of Kadir another legendary success.
The Mage he slayed cursed him or so its told.
He returned to his uncles land in the darkest winter the harshest cold.
The Kings grandson Hafnar the white and rightful heir.
Was jealous of the glorious warrior of which he could not compare.
Hell in a Hand Basket (Jun 8, 2011 9:13:59 PM)
That Winter The Wyrm sent a minion to attack the kings hall a black dragon dark and great.
It blew fire over the warriors leaving few remaining and the sept with a unknown fate.
Till the Kings nephew rose up Alone taking cloak, and Axe with honor as his shiled.
The Dragon and Warrior met on the battle field.
The Dragon gave a hell of a fight but died in the end.
Hell in a Hand Basket (Jun 8, 2011 9:14:40 PM)
The warrior used the scales to make a armor, that would stay strong and yet still bend.
As he set back for his return to speak of his sucess to his uncle the king.
It was Hafnar with his men who lay in wait to ambush him jealous is a dangerous thing.
When the mighty warrior slayed Hafnar the men spun lies and said the attack was unjust.
The King thus sent the hunt out on the innocent warrior his death was a must.
A day ahead to the north he fled becoming a alpha of outlaws they became his brotherhood.
These where garou whom he could relate to they knew the life on the run like him they understood
Hell in a Hand Basket (Jun 8, 2011 9:15:30 PM)
(Jealousy is a dangrous thing.. and forgive me for the way the txt is comming out i wrote it up in a note pad prior to this scene so)
Hell in a Hand Basket (Jun 8, 2011 9:16:40 PM)
Guest of the bone crusher then travled beyond the western sea..
When the hunters found them in spring his armor he gave to his pregnant wife and begged her to flee..
He slew 8 members of the hunting party..
But was left for dead speared to a oak tree.. *Gazed at keening when he mentioned the OAK tree*
Keening Sorrow (Jun 8, 2011 9:18:06 PM)
His ears pricked up at mention of the oak and while he was initially very interested in listening he took special note.
Hell in a Hand Basket (Jun 8, 2011 9:18:29 PM)
The survivors of the brotherhood took his wife away..
It was a wendigo who found him before his last breath fell from upon the day.
Here died unjustly Ragnor Red axe was carved above him in the bark at his decree.
He and Tukcha shared blood then his spirit passed on with only the wendigo to see.
Hell in a Hand Basket (Jun 8, 2011 9:23:50 PM)
To this day the spirit of Ragnor can be called to aid the pure.
He is called to aid the cast out and aid in the war.
Those wrongly acused find more then honor as a shiled.
And some times lends them his very own axe to wiled.
The wendigo are given a special honor very few know.
To summon him from where ever he may be or go.
Hell in a Hand Basket (Jun 8, 2011 9:25:15 PM)
*He gazed at them after his tale had ended and he continued to float there a foot above the ground indian style infront of the floating flames which seemed to warm all three of them whom found themselves in its presence.*
Adin Raines (Jun 8, 2011 9:25:17 PM)
*pays close attention to the last 2 stanzas*
Sarah Swiftfox (Jun 8, 2011 9:27:14 PM)
*Sarah shifts to homid and matches his floating sitting position*
Keening Sorrow (Jun 8, 2011 9:27:16 PM)
He lets the story sink in for a long moment, then looks to Tukcha with interest. ~ws~ "Does the oak still stand?"
Hell in a Hand Basket (Jun 8, 2011 9:27:55 PM)
*He looked at keening* indeed your mother had found it once..
Adin Raines (Jun 8, 2011 9:28:00 PM)
*Ponders the riddle... and realizes it is not his to unravel...*
Sarah Swiftfox (Jun 8, 2011 9:30:12 PM)
*she warms herself at the fire*
Sarah Swiftfox (Jun 8, 2011 9:30:23 PM)
*hovering with the hovering fire and the hovering Wendigo guy*
Hell in a Hand Basket (Jun 8, 2011 9:30:33 PM)
*He looked to sarah hovering and smiled then looked to keening*
Adin Raines (Jun 8, 2011 9:31:50 PM)
*Believes he will be searching for 1 or 2 more spirits... Ragnor or the Mother."
Adin Raines (Jun 8, 2011 9:32:33 PM)
*Glances at Keening* Your mother is in the opposite direction of this forest.
Keening Sorrow (Jun 8, 2011 9:32:37 PM)
He whuffles in amusement and lowers himself to the ground in submissiveness. ~ws~ "Thank you for sharing your tale with this uncouth descendant."
Sarah Swiftfox (Jun 8, 2011 9:33:02 PM)
*face palm*
Adin Raines (Jun 8, 2011 9:34:07 PM)
*remembers the spirit/wind heading off toward his mother... opposite direction from forest*
Keening Sorrow (Jun 8, 2011 9:34:27 PM)
He rolls over on his back and looks to Adin curiously. ~ws~ "Thank you, White Hunter."
Hell in a Hand Basket (Jun 8, 2011 9:35:05 PM)
*He looked at Keening..Then reached over and thwapped him* Cut it out, your not uncouth your just younge and spirited. Some things come with age and tradition. You travled a long dangerous journey to learn the story of your ansestors and prove your ability as a acomplished gibbous moon, you should be proud not appologetic..
Keening Sorrow (Jun 8, 2011 9:36:38 PM)
He hops to his feet, springing back to life and dances excitedly on his paws. ~ws~ "You're right! Thank you! I will be proud to tell this tale!"
Hell in a Hand Basket (Jun 8, 2011 9:36:48 PM)
*He then offered keening a small smile of regonition..* Must be proud of your own acomplishments but never forget those whom came before you there are lessons in the storys and wisdom in our tradtions..
Sarah Swiftfox (Jun 8, 2011 9:37:39 PM)
*she floats downwards and shifts back to Lupus*
Hell in a Hand Basket (Jun 8, 2011 9:38:14 PM)
*He smiled at keening then looked to sarah and Adin..* Thank you for your visit as well.. May each journey be as fruitful in your future..
Adin Raines (Jun 8, 2011 9:38:46 PM)
*nods twice*
Sarah Swiftfox (Jun 8, 2011 9:38:53 PM)
ws And peace and prosperity be onto you and your descendents.
Keening Sorrow (Jun 8, 2011 9:39:08 PM)
~ws~ "Thank you! I will call you again for your wisdom."
Hell in a Hand Basket (Jun 8, 2011 9:39:53 PM)
*He smiled at Sarah then noded to keening with a small glimer of myschief in the ansestors eyes..*I had a feeling you might.. *Then his gaze fell back to the fire*
Adin Raines (Jun 8, 2011 9:40:15 PM)
*backs away slowly heading in the direction he came from*
Sarah Swiftfox (Jun 8, 2011 9:40:58 PM)
*Sarah looks at Hell* ws Perhaps if he studies and opens the connection enough you can guide him personally.
Sarah Swiftfox (Jun 8, 2011 9:41:05 PM)
ws He couldn't help but benefit.
Adin Raines (Jun 8, 2011 9:42:42 PM)
*waits at the treeline for his companions*
Keening Sorrow (Jun 8, 2011 9:43:24 PM)
He whuffles in amusement and stretches, looking to Sarah and dancing. ~ws~ "Thank you, Talisman Seeker-rhya." Heading after Adin to see where the Ahroun had to lead now.
Sarah Swiftfox (Jun 8, 2011 9:43:41 PM)
*rolls eyes as Keening prances about...again*
Hell in a Hand Basket (Jun 8, 2011 9:46:11 PM)
*The ansestor spirit watches the dancing and wonders if keeing was a hoop or fire dancer.. He seemed to move like he was constantly honoring the spirits or in perpetual ritual form.. It must be a chimrage he made to a spirit..*
Adin Raines (Jun 8, 2011 9:46:41 PM)
(lol)
Hell in a Hand Basket (Jun 8, 2011 9:47:24 PM)
(ok so you guys are heading back yes?)
Keening Sorrow (Jun 8, 2011 9:47:35 PM)
In a way, it was how he honoured his blood, and he had been raised performing in dance competitions, so his ancestor was clearly very astute. [*Chuckles*]
Adin Raines (Jun 8, 2011 9:47:52 PM)
(considering the quest is finished... then i guess so unless we're finding the mother)
Hell in a Hand Basket (Jun 8, 2011 9:48:20 PM)
