[Moro's been oddly missing for... quite some time now, actually. Two weeks of being incredibly distant from the village, only rarely appearing in the distance to keep an eye out on the village. A week or so ago, she disappeared entirely, after what one would likely assume to be a mallynapping, given the evidence of violence in some areas.

Now, however, a much smaller wolf is haunting the god's usual stalking grounds. Even on Moro's usual perch, it's obvious that though the wolf is significantly smaller, it's still a very abnormally large one. It's not easy to see in the distance, but she does, in fact, have two tails.

Slowly, throughout the day, she's wandering closer and closer to the village. Do you come to meet her, or wait until she's just outside of the town limits?]

((OOC: I've been meaning to do this for a year now! XD Moro's gonna be significantly younger for a week or so. For reference, she's the size of her own pups within the movie. All replies will come from

[She sits down in kind.]

There are signs of the elder wolf in this forest, all around. But her blood scent is present, too. Perhaps she's died.

I would think no human to be so stupid.

[He's not shocked. He's seen a god die in front of him, two in fact. The reminder makes him close his eye for a moment.]

I'm hopin' you're wrong. Be a damn shame if I never got to meet her even if she'd take a bite outta me.

[Moses leans back on his hands, clearly enjoying the day.] Humans can be kinda stupid, I guess. Thing is, we learn so folks gotta give us a chance, like Grune did. Bein' a war god, I reckon you know a lot about that kinda thing. You seen a lotta wars where you come from?

I've fought in territorial battles. There is no great war amongst the people.

I was recently traveling back to my land of birth; the mountains where the Forest Spirit dwells. The boars allowed me to visit the pool for a short time. I was very excited to return home.

Can't say that I wouldn't mind givin' a visit to where you're from. No wars, gods helpin' each other out'n nice places to look at. Probably make a nice home there. Why'd you leave the mountains?

That was my father's territory, as well as the Boar Clan's. I left to establish my own territory.

Not real territorial, huh? Better'n fightin' over a piece of land like some folks do where I come from. All wolves as big as you are where you're from? I mean, can they all talk'n rule the forests like you do?

Yes. Stories say that even pups like me were once even larger, but most dismiss that sort of talk as lore.

That would be somethin' to see. Just lookin' at the tracks in the forest is kinda intimidatin'. You ever travel 'round with humans? I don't mean like pets or anythin' like that, just bein' friends.

No. But I do fight alongside chosen armies in war.

How do you know which ones're right'n who's wrong? I know I wouldn't wanna be on the other end of'n army bein' led by a god.

There is no "right" or "wrong" side. Only actions can be wrong. Choices. And everyone makes wrong choices.

I join the side of the army most suited to me. The army that has more honor, and more respect, that calls on me to battle alongside them.

Guess I can't argue with that. Wonder if that's why Grune helped us, gave us a chance. Schwartz wanted to turn back time, didn't think we could change'n we all were wrong. Can't say I'd wanna get in between gods or goddesses again.

A battlefield of gods is no place for mortals.

Probably right but when they're the ones decidin' if we live or die, you're damn right I'm gonna make some noise. I hate givin' up'n I ain't a quitter. Gotta live life our own way'n get a chance to prove we're not gonna just mess things up. Humans ain't perfect but we can learn.

That's what makes humans unique.
