Golden, I can write for you as well if no one has claimed you :)

Salem

Salem - Against your instincts and all common sense (LOL) you decide to head west. Soon, the trees are clustered so tightly together that you have to push through them with all your might. Suddenly, you start hearing snarls, and you feel like you caught a glimpse of something slinking through the bushes. You repeatedly hear howls in the distance, which sends shivers running up and down your spine. The howls seem to be drawing closer and closer, as you slip in between trees. All of a sudden, a howl sounds. This time, it seems to be right next to you, yet you dont see anything. You feel chilled to the bone, as you continue on, slowly, and possibly regretting your life choices. The mist seems to be closing in on you even more, and even as you squint and hold the lantern up, the mist still does not shrink back. It crowds near you even more, and another chill runs up your spine. The lantern flickers, as the softly glowing blue light dims even more. In a panic, you shake the lantern, yelling at it to light up again, because you are terrified of being in the dark, with who knows what stalking you. As the lantern flickers even more, the eerie howl sounds again. This time unnervingly close. You imagine that you hear snarls, and the soft padding of footsteps on the leafy ground. You chew your lower lip, and nervously walk forward. You are starting to doubt that it is your imagination. Perhaps there actually is a lupine stalking you. You imagine sharp claws, and an open mouth, drooling, and ready to pounce onto you. With your heart pounding faster and faster, you reach a clearing and start to run. Suddenly, a heavy weight springs from behind you and hands on top of you, pinning you down, so that you cant run, or see it. Maybe it wasnt your imagination after all. You attempt to roll onto your side with no luck, and you feel a cold nose pressing against your legs, sniffing you. - Do you A) Scream loudly and hope that someone will hear you B) Wiggle around frantically C) Talk to the animal pinning you D) Attempt to kick the animal in the face E) Free Answer - Remaining Items: Moonlit Blue Lantern (1/1) Carved Figurine (1/1) Glittering Vial (1/1)

Golden Meadows - You roll onto your side, dreaming of wolves, lanterns and a single glowing lamp on a pole. Wait. You startle awake, staring at your new surroundings. This isnt your comfortable bed at home. You are in a small clearing, surrounded by fog, lying on the ground. The previous memories register and you sit bolt upright. You remember the voice ringing clearly in your head. Something about a memory perhaps? You shake the thought off, and stand up. The mist creeps towards you and you search for any light to possibly repel the darkness. When you turn around, right where you were sitting, sits a blue iron lantern. The odd blue light pulsating from it gives a peaceful aura, and you feel safer just by holding. However, that was until an eerie howl sounds from the distance, sending shivers up and down your body. You dont know what made that howl, but you do know that it wasnt natural. Even as your common sense tells you not to venture into the creepy mist, you cant help it. You feel compelled to take one step, then another, the lantern making it so that you could see the path in front of you, but not around you. The lantern light flickered, and dimmed, then grew brighter again. After a few more steps, you walk straight into a wooden signpost. It points to the right, left and forward. On the sign pointing to the right, you see a roughly etched tree, on the sign pointing to the left, you see a small lake etched into the wood. On the sign pointing forward, you see claw marks, streaking down the sign. Only then did you notice the paw prints on the ground. As you bend down to inspect them, you feel a chill run down your spine. These paw prints were freshly made. Probably only from a few minutes ago. You feel a strong desire to get out of this place. Hurriedly, you look back at the crossroads, again and make your decision. - A) Right B) Left C) Forward

Salem - It is a valiant struggle, as you attempt to get your face out of the dirt to speak to the animal. The furry thing settles down on your back as if it were laying down? I guess youre its new pillow now. You manage to turn your head to the side, and you catch a glimpse of shaggy fur, right before it shifts it weight and you cant see it anymore. You talk to it quietly, hoping to soothe it. Hello there. Nice wolf. Would you mind getting off of me so I can actually breathe? You grumbled the last part. The wolf shifts its weight again, and a nose pokes into your face, snuffling. You groan as a small stream of saliva trickles down your face, as it licks you. Inspecting you one more time, the lupine stands up on your back, and walks off of your back and sits in front of you. The obscuring mist keeps shifting, and you can only catch a glimpse of it, since you dropped your lantern, when the clearly mischievous lupine pounced on you. You take a step backwards, looking for the lantern and hear a dull crunching sound. Well there goes the lantern. You attempt to inspect the lupine, but however, the mist has enclosed it, leaving only its eyes and nose showing. As you shift your weight to your other foot, something rattles in your pocket. You mutter a few words, and stick your hand into your pocket cautiously. Immediately you let out a yell, as something sharp digs into your hand. The vial must have shattered when you fell. Your pocket is now a mess of glittering dust and glass. Inspecting your hand closely, a crimson drop of blood rolls down your fingertip, and lands on the ground. The lupine steps closer to you and licks your finger. Well arent you a bloodthirsty boy. You remark to the lupine. Its only response is to snuffle at your pocket. - Do you.. A) Attempt to pet it B) Give the lupine some dust that isnt covered with glass C) Back away from the lupine. Who knows what it's doing? - Remaining Items: Moonlit Blue Lantern (0/1) Carved Figurine (1/1) Glittering Vial (Well, what's left of it) (1/1)
