Like a white wood louse, Halari clung to one of the plant behemoths. The bark alone had grooves in it deep enough to lose a paw, and thick enough that his claws never reached the wood that it sheathed. One of an alpha werewolf's hallmarks was his strength, and not many could tell the tale of having climbed one of these trees from root to tip. Yes, the looks he had gotten from the people who lived in the city still above him ranged from fear to amusement, but they would not deter him. This undertaking would be so huge that he would have to stop to sleep before he finished his climb. The first stop would be in the city itself, probably another hour away if he kept climbing steadily. After that, he'd be in the branches, and climbing would be both easier and more full of rest stops. As he climbed, he heard a basket going up. Let them have the easy ride, he would take the one with more honor.

Age 23 Class Samurai Profession Ronin Alignment Lawful Good Member Name Sid	Recovery was a rather paramount issue with Storm Kensho at the moment. After a rather nasty fall in the Eagle's Canyon, a lucky rescue by a passing pirate, and a good healing from at the College of Magic in Idia, Storm wasn't really in the best of shape. Though he'd broken several bones that were then healed, the ronin's body was still sore and injured in a way from his brush with death. And so, seeking refuge from the outside world once again, Storm journeyed to the secluded community of Alyrion on the Isle of Mist. Here, the kindly people of the Forest City granted the wanderer food and shelter, allowing him a modicum of comfort as he settled down. The samurai had been convalescing in the village for a good two weeks when the werewolf arrived in town, climbing up the trees as he did. Storm happened to be passing by when he looked down and spotted the creature climbing up. Lightly fingering the hilt of the katana at his side, Storm observed the creature clawing its way toward the village. If it was intent on attacking, Storm would have no qualms with fighting back.

Kieran neared the town and looked forward to rest and a meal. Looking up, he saw a warrior watching him, fingering a sword. He heaved a sigh. So many times, people assumed that muscle and fang meant dangerous. Maybe to a deer, but not a human. Within five minutes, he was trying to figure out how to get on the platform from underneath it. A gap between the 'floor' and the trunk offered him an opening to squeeze through. After compressing and twisting, he stood on the planks and regarded the town. To the ronin, he gave what he hoped was a friendly wave.

Age 23 Class Samurai Profession Ronin Alignment Lawful Good Member Name Sid	The werewolf's rather friendly and out-reaching greeting made Storm feel rather put-off. Withdrawing his hand from his sword's hilt, Storm lightly examined the wolf's face and body before lightly striding toward the friendly werewolf. Storm was still a bit wary, though he didn't sense any sort of aggression or anger from the wolf-man. Still, he wasn't completely sure, as his observations came from interaction and strong examination, not psychic probing. "Greetings, werewolf", began Storm with a warm tone, sticking out his hand to the wolf-man, "I am Storm Kensho. It is rather interesting to see a friendly werewolf in these parts. What is your name?"

The changing process began afterwards. He couldn't communicate well with nonlycans in his hybrid form, so human form was a must. Like a melting candle, his features went from canine to human. Over five minutes of shifting and reforming left Kieran tired, but human. "Sorry about that, but I can't climb like that in human form, and I can't talk in hybrid form. I am Kieran, known also as Halari. It is nice to meet you, Storm. Thanks for not attacking, I don't mean any harm at all."

Age 23 Class Samurai Profession Ronin Alignment Lawful Good Member Name Sid	"Kieran or Halari", mused Storm briefly over the two names, "do you prefer one over the over?" Storm jerked his thumb back behind him to a tavern that he'd been on his way to in the village. Storm briskly turned on his heel before making one last address. "You're welcome for that, by the way", he quipped rather curtly, as a bit of a warning to the werewolf, "People in these parts will usually break out weapons if they see a werewolf clawing its way up their trees." To prove his point, Storm gestured around the two of them, indicating the rather suspicious townsfolk who were giving the wolf a wide berth. "Luckily, though, they knew that I could take care of the regular rabble that attempt to invade this city, so they didn't immediately shoot you up with arrows. Now come, I could use a decent drink, and I bet you could, too." Storm set off down the short distance from there to the tavern. When he got inside, the people there parted, as they knew this normal customer, and let him take his usual seat at the bar. The samurai gestured to the barstool next to him as he ordered his usual warm ale.

He followed he warrior to the inn and got himself a mug of ale as well, but paid extra, indicating he wanted a room for the night. He took a long drink and waited for the inevitable answers. He stared into his mug tiredly, the lights of the room bouncing off of his earrings, the ale, and his eyes. This was a peaceful place, but again, his kind were not welcome. Was there really so much violence in the past between his kind and humans? Why, when he changed, did he stop being human? He remembered what it was like, being normal. He didn't miss it, but was he really THAT different now? He could still feel wary eyes on him, as if he'd go berzerk any minute.

Retired Ronin Posts: 58 Group: Members Member #2,119 Joined: August 11, 2005 Name Storm Hashuma Kensho Race Human. Narcissian. Age 23 Class Samurai Profession Ronin Alignment Lawful Good Member Name Sid	"So, Kieran", began Storm as he paused in drinking his ale, "what brings you to this quiet little town in the forest? Surely not the glory of battle or anything. This place hasn't been interesting since Clearwater suffered its destruction some months ago. Bunch of outsiders were reported to have "attacked" the village, which left the entire place a smoking ruin for a time." Storm, of course, referred to when a blanket of Mist descended upon the island and unleashed a plethora of horrors upon the place, including nigh-invincible creatures. Storm had been right in the middle of that nexus of hell, though he was able to escape the carnage of the destruction. It was after this loss of his home, at the time, that Storm began to wander the wilds of Avalon once more, resulting in some life-threatening injuries that he was recovering from at the moment. Alyrion welcomed him, and so the samurai had taken to recuperating here. Storm began to drink his ale once more, the warm drink relaxing his muscles and allowing his body some better comfort from the jarring pains he would suffer from his formerly-broken bones.

It was light, and somewhat piney. Were they using a tree based syrup to brew or sweeten it? Interesting combination of tones, though, what ever they did. As he swallowed, a hand flicked upwards, indicating the collosal tree near the bar. "I plan on scaling the heights of these natural monsters and see what lays at the top. I started at the roots, and made it here. I plan on resting, then continuing upward. I think I'll hit the peaks in at least two more days." He gave a daredevil grin, knowing he'd be, if not the first, one of the few who could say that he climbed all the way up one of THESE trees.

Age 23 Class Samurai Profession Ronin Alignment Lawful Good Member Name Sid	"I wish you luck, my friend", replied Storm with a rather amused expression, "the only ones who've been to the top of the Alyrion forest have been the elves that founded and live within this city. The only ones who journey farther than here into the canopy are eccentrics and lunatics. They won't take too kindly to a werewolf, of all things, intruding upon their homes. I would journey with you, my furry friend, but I was wounded in an encounter with bandits some weeks ago. I came to Alyrion to seek shelter and heal myself. But, if you have a deathwish, I won't stop you." Storm smirked a slight smirk as he took another draft of his ale, savoring the warm, sweet liquid as it trickled down his throat. Indeed, few in the village had the gall to journey into the higher canopies of Alyrion. Many who did would return in the form of a falling corpse from the treetops or a babbling, stammering idiot. It took true courage to willingly journey into that place.

If not, however, I thank you for your advice. These trees call to me, welcoming my spirit. I guess this journey is one of physical meditation for me." He couldn't adequately describe what the trees said, but they talked to Halari clearly enough, begging him to climb higher and higher, to share with him the sights and scents of the tree tops. Pine forests seemed to be the wolf mind's prefered habitat, so Kieran found himself within them frequently. The bartender brought both men another round, and Kieran toasted the samurai with his mug. "To crazy schemes with a good outcome, aye? I think before this journey is over, I'll be needing luck and plenty of it." Luck, aye, was a fickle woman. She often gave and gave, but the minute you needed her the most, she was gone.

Age 23 Class Samurai Profession Ronin Alignment Lawful Good Member Name Sid	"Indeed", replied Storm shortly, clacking his mug against the werewolf's before taking a long draught, "I have no desire to journey into the upper echelons of Alyrion, my friend. I've been recuperating from a rather bad fall, and I shouldn't really be putting myself in danger. Enjoy your journey, however, and make the best of it. I, however, must retire for the evening." Storm stood up before clapping Kieran on the shoulder like a comrade. Stretching himself and yawning, Storm made his way into the back rooms of the tavern and settled into his modestly-decorated room. Hanging his two katana on a small rack on the wall, the samurai kicked his sandals off before sliding into bed and closing his eyes. As he drifted off into sleep, Storm lightly contemplated the day he just had as a means to relax his mind. Sharing a drink with an adventurous werewolf, thought Storm, amused, Quite an interesting evening...
