KayLisa Greywolf

She begins to reply but stops short as the owl shifts in form and a man stands before. A brief widening of her eyes indicates her surprise, but time is too short to dwell long on this.

“Yes,” she replies.

“Yes, I summoned you.” she says once more, this time in a fairly accurate reproduction of the hooting tones by which owls communicate.

The dull monotone of the wolves has drawn closer and even within the protection of the stone circle she can feel a hint of its numbing effect. Her wolves raise their nostrils to the air and the smallest among them begin to whimper upon catching the scent of the banewolves. She looks intently at this unexpected answer to her call, her eyes shining silver in the dim starlight.

“I summoned you,” she says in the common tongue of these forums, “but I will not force you to do what I ask.” She pauses to be sure she is understood. “I am called KayLisa Greywolf and the sound you hear drawing closer is the call of creatures who seek my destruction and the destruction of all who would stand against the power of Modding Shadow. Banewolves they are called.” Once more she pauses briefly. “That there is nothing of the Shadow about you is clear for you would not have gained entry to this grove had you been so tainted. What manner of man you are beyond that I do not know. The spirit within you is strong, but you must be strong as well for what needs to be done.” She pauses once more and her eyes narrow in focused appraisal of the man.

“Of the things that live, I know of only an owl that could move in untroubled flight among the banewolves. That is why I issued the call which summoned you and your appearance may be a sign that a chance for life might be found among so much death. An owl can be a great help. But there are things an owl cannot do, but that a man brave and sure of heart might accomplish.” Again she pauses.

“I will not force you. You are free to leave. But if you would attempt what I ask, then we must act quickly for there is very little time in which to prepare.”
