Woodstrider Encounter Part One

Starting Point
Woodstriders. The Crowned. Beloved-of-the-Green.

Many are the names for these pure, swift beings who, though quite large for a furbeast, move with an almost impossible grace. You have heard of them, but this is your first encounter with a Clan of their kind. All of them bear a spirit-crown, which was said to have been given to them by the. Incredibly, one of their crowns has even manifested physically, adorning its head in reality... powerful Music, indeed.

The twice-crowned one turns its slender head to gaze at you, and you feel something stir within your breast. You feel...

 * ...admiration. (d6a)
 * ...connection. (d6b)

admiration (d6a)
Such grace! Their limbs flow like Water, carrying them from leaf above to grass below and between the great Trees as though they are of one Form, one Essence, with the Great Green itself. Their hearts are purer than the sky.

Perhaps you will, one day, become as intimate a lover of the woods as they.

connection (d6b)
What... is this? Somehow, you feel the beating of its Rhythm, though you are too far away to do so. You see yourself...! Are you seeing through its eyes?

The moment hangs, suspended, and then it looks away, leading the Clan deeper into the Green. You know, though, that there is some connection between yourself and the noble Woodstriders. Could this be a sign, a premonition, that your fates are connected in some strange way? Could they be more than simply prey to you?

Notes of sweet Essence and savory skin drift through the Air to your nose. Opening your mouth, you can almost taste it... how their flesh will melt in your mouth! How it will give as you tear into it with your sharp teeth! You simply cannot wait...

Attack one now?
