[Action - Back AND Forward Dating!]

[biteoffherhead]

[[May 26th - 27th]]

[It's the return of teeny puppy Moro! She's a fluffy thing, about the size of a labrador despite being a very young puppy, waddling around the village and looking lost. And yes, there is a little bit of tiny puppy whining...]

[[Daylight Hours May 28th - 29th]]

[There's a strange new entity, wandering around. It appears to be a deer, though it has very bizarre feet, a strange coat, and upon closer inspection, a human face. It's an eerie thing, often trotting absolutely silently along the surface of the water.

Unlike the true Forest Spirit, it is not so quick to get out of the way of humans. That's because behind that face is a very grouchy wolf god, who is a bit less grouchy than usual now that she's a whole different type of god.]

[[Night Hours May 28th - 29th]]

[As the sun sets, Moro takes her new body to the lakeside, and something mysterious happens. Her body bloats, fur fading, and she transforms into the mighty Nightwalker (depicted in the post icon). It stays away from the village, but with such a small enclosure, its massive form is always within sight. It walks around the enclosure silently, and strangely. But unlike the true Nightwalker, Moro does seem to be more aware of her own existence.]

[[May 30th - June 1st]]

[SUDDENLY, WOLF GOD. Rather, Moro is afflicted with Teleportation. Perhaps this all too large wolf god randomly and unwillingly appears in your bathroom. Or crushes your bed, with her gargantuan weight. And surely you don't want a several ton wolf sitting on your couch!]

[[June 2nd - 4th]]

[This Moro has been in Luceti before, as well. A younger Moro, but not a helpless fluffball of a puppy. She's running and leaping around in the forest, a lot more spry than the achey, bulky older Moro. The young god is staying near the village, apparently looking to speak with those in the village, but being respectful of their territory.

[Though she seems to be slow-moving, with her scale, she's covering a lot of ground, making her way towards the mountains in long, slow strides.]

[bondsprofoundly]

[It's enough that Cas just ends up flying in short bursts, disappearing and reappearing further along her path. He could run but angels don't do that. It's not dignified.]

[biteoffherhead]

[Soon enough, she's cut off by the sight of the beach, over the mountains. Moro stares for a while, before turning around. She wasn't going to be able to cross the water fast enough to go anywhere, and she needed to change back before sunrise.

Back to the lake she goes!]

[bondsprofoundly]

[What?

Oh, okay, turning around.]

Are you looking for something?

[biteoffherhead]

[There's not a clear answer! But by the time she "returns", dawn is fairly close. She pinpoints where to "land", and leans over, seeming to curl in on herself.

Castiel will notice that she is shrinking, gradually. At first, it appears she's changing to the shape of a deer... but the nature of her curse ends up changing, and instead, she bloats from the smaller form to a slightly larger one - that of a giant wolf.

...And she will promptly collapse.]

[bondsprofoundly]

[Cas is beginning to understand why his silence annoys Dean so much. Is this empathy? Weird.

The god shifts shape into something much, much smaller, but then something goes wrong and she shifts again and collapses.

Castiel comes closer. Stands over her and stares down at her motionless form, then turns to survey the land around them. Not a sound from any wildlife or otherwise.]

[biteoffherhead]

[She's fairly enormous, in this form, even if not titanic as before! With a mouth large enough to fit a whole human torso in a single bite, she's a frighteningly large wolf.

She's still breathing, but she seems to be exhausted.]

[bondsprofoundly]

[Still picking up god-vibes off of her too, though not as obvious as the ones from before. Strange.

Cas stares at her for a while, watching her chest lift up and down and the grass puff around her nostrils with every breath before turning away, facing out with his hands tucked into the pockets of his coat.

He'll just keep lookout. Go ahead and rest.]

[biteoffherhead]

[After a while, there's the start of a low growl, and a stirring. A thump, and the growling increases. Moro hauls herself to her feet, the growl reverberating through the forest.

With a bitter sneer, she rolls her shoulders back, the old joints cracking loudly, and stretches her back some. Even then, her movements are stiff... she's very very old.]

[bondsprofoundly]

[Castiel turns to look back at Moro, watching as she wearily picks herself up. My, she is old; how peculiar that it's made her weaker, not stronger.

Though she could just be weak from the transformation. Castiel can't really tell.]

[biteoffherhead]

[That, and the cannonball-sized iron bullet in her chest. That sort of did a number on her, too, then and now.]

What did you want from me?

[bondsprofoundly]

[Castiel blinks, tilts his head.

Then, with a soft gust of air and the sound of beating wings, he vanishes.]

[biteoffherhead]

[Wow rude.

Moro growls, and goes about her business. And stays that way until she's teleported all around luceti for the next few days.]
