As you try to recompose yourself... you see that you were not running away from the blast but towards it, and you see that the smoke from it is rising in a strange pattern... unlike any youve ever seen before, and thats not all. You see a black figure approaching you from where the blast had occured... and whatever it is, it most definetly isnt good.

I let my muscles tighten, backing away slowly and feeling my claws grow a little. I backed around the tree, slipping down to all fours and taking to my canine shape. At some point, I stopped retreating and dug my claws into the dirt under them.

The figure kept aproaching at a constant speed still appearing larger than you... and yet... the closer it got... the smaller it seemed to be, and yet the question remained, was it the cause of the explosion and if so... how'd it do it? Well, looks like you've got a few options now. Fight, talk, or run.

I narrowed my eyes awarily at the figure, retreating another step simply out of practice. "Who are you?" I growled, never taking my eyes off the figure. "What do you want?"

The figure continued to approach... still growing smaller. Once you finished speaking, he simply stated "I? My name is of no concern to you... and Im here to do what that blast should've done." Um... well... looks like its back to those 3 options again.

I felt my breath catch in my throat and glanced briefly to the side. My jaw clenched, and I turned around and bolted headlong in... Whichever direction was away from the figure.

As you run, you see that the figure isnt following... and yet... it feels like hes right behind you... After a good deal of running, you find yourself in a section of the forest perfectly unharmed by the blast... but in the distance, you see a light similar to the first one you saw... and when you turn around... everything seems just as it was before the explosion... its as if nothing happened... but it did, didnt it? However, this time the path is out of view... and it would seem no matter which way you go, you'd end up right next to one of those strange lights... but should you just stay there where its all so silent and unmoving? At least you know one thing... dont shout!

I panted, glancing around, and glared at the light off in the distance. After a long moment, I let my form reshape itself to the bipedal creature I could appear as, climbing into a nearby tree and hopping into it's branches. I found a quiet place to sit and parked it, ready to spring the moment it appeared necessary... Or another blast hit, out onto another branch.

Nothing occured... though now you felt a slight breeze, which is definetly better than nothing. However, it was coming strangely from all directions... now why would wind do that? It carried the scents of burnt logs again... so far the only smell in this whole forest... but if everything is standing perfectly untouched, how could there be burnt logs? Hmm... strange... Anyway, as you sit in the branch with the breeze blowing at you, you feel a slight tremble... the branch gives way and you begin falling. I do hope you werent too far up.

I grunted and yipped in surprise, twisting as I fell so I might grip the tree with my claws. I blinked slowly. ~... The... The explosion's already happened... Must have... But... Where... Where's the Shockwave going to come from...?~ I growled softly as I looked around, eyesight still fuzzy, but at least I could see straight again, and the ringing in my ears seemed to have stopped. I'd only been on the second or third branch up, entertaining some clearly cowardly thoughts about travelling much higher. My paws were made for the ground, after all, not the trees.

You look around, but still see no sort of blasts, nor do you feel any shaking, other than that caused by hitting the ground. In fact, theres no sight of any fragments of the branch that gave way... nothing to suggest that, well, anything had actually occured. Hmm... if a warewolf falls in a forest, and no ones around to hear them, do they make a sound? Maybe it never happened... then again, you felt it, didnt you? Ah well... guess you better think up a plan that doesnt involve climbing trees as next time you may happen upon a harder hit.

I grunted as I hit the ground, glancing around warily. ~Why the hell does it want to kill me?~ "What'd I do?" I tugged my claws loose from the tree and twirled in place, looking around. ~And where the hell is that smell coming from?~ I listened carefully, tall ears erect and swivelling slowly to try to catch the faintest sound.

You still hear no sound for a bit... but then you hear a slight cackling coming from... somewhere. You cant really tell as it sounds like its coming from everywhere at once, just as the wind did. As you look around, you see the black figure appear, seeming to come out of nowhere. It says "You truly have no idea whats going on here do you? Well do not worry, as soon, you shall never worry again!" You see it swell in size, then it leaps at you with full force.

My eyes widened sharply as they found him again, and I could feel my own muscles coiling as I saw him... It... Crouching for the pounce. I hoped my run-for-it would be fast enough to get past his. "All I understand... Is that you're trying to kill me!" I growled, pouncing at the first opportunity to try and take off into another run again.

he missed due to your dodging... but rather then smack into the tree... he just passed into it, which is very strange indeed. Hmm... well, hes not there anymore... but who knos when he'll be back? Hmm...
