As the hours of darkness began to slowly wane from the winter sky, my body felt heavier... I lifted my hand slowly, only to see a paw. I wasn't startled. I only felt numbness in my stomach. I got up to my feet and collapsed on the floor on all fours. 'You can't stand on 2 paws silly!' Luna said. Strangely enough, I could understand her. 'Hurry along, we must hunt!' She exclaimed to me and the other wolves. They all gathered around her and she split them into 2 groups. 'Half of the pack will hunt West, and the other half will hunt North. Today we will collect our food here and have a grand feast in honor of my sister!' She announced, standing on her fours. 'Let the hunt begin!' And so, we set off towards the Northern side of the forest. 'The northern side of the forest has a lot of treasures, unexplored areas, biomes that have never been seen by the human race, unique insects, delicious prey, and amazing views, as well as strange inhabitants, not exactly strange in a bad way! Just different! The faries live in the small holes in the trees, the centaurs live at the darker ends, the delicious fish and boar roam across the forest and the trees are so beautiful, that blinking between looking at them would seem a waste of time! Anyway, I need to lead the pack, I can't stay with you forever! Try and keep up!' Luna declared, whooshing away like the extraordinary and mystical wind. We ran for a while, sprinting and jumping over logs, roots and prickly/pretty/poisonous flowers and... Other things that I don't know the name of. One the way, we heard a boar rustle between a large...Glow bush. Luna went after it with the pack. I followed with whatever stamina in my body I had left. Almost completely ignoring the view, but one glace was plenty to leave me in awe. It looked ethereal, almost like the trees were whispering to me. The glowshrooms screamt of other-worldy mysteries. BUT, I had no time to waste, I must keep up with the pack and hunt for the feast.

The trees and grass looked very grey. I used my strength and overtook some wolves, who kindly slowed down so I could pass, and started running next to Luna, I looked over at her. ' I'm getting the hang of this! Maybe I can even help find that boar!' I smiled. Which is when Shizen and Aiden caught up to us, Aiden began talking to Luna. (Obviously) She looked over at me and spoke softly. 'I know you will' She grinned. 'Watch out !' I heard Shizen yell as I tripped over a gigantic root and my sight almost faded completely. 

Aiden's POV:

 I heard Shizen yell as Willoe tripped over the roots of an oak tree and succumbed to gravity.

Willow's POV:

I felt my strength regain as my vision slowly returned. I saw a blue aura coming out of Luna's hand and my ankle? I don't know the parts of a wolf... I slowly I looked around to see Shizen next to me in his human form. I stood up and decided to set off immediately with the pack. I heard a rustle, and by default, pounced towards it. Catching a third boar. I couldn't catch the other 2 but I guess this one was slower!' We headed Northeast-ward to come across another extraordinary forest after a vigorous 2o-minute sprint through the trees, and roots, and insects and views. We crossed a stream with the most beautiful, shiny glowbugs.

'There's a right turn from here, we can take it to reach the path

'There's a right turn from here, we can take it to reach the path.' Aiden announced guiding me and Shizen over.

*10 minutes later*

We arrived at the well-lit path, at which point I was hungry and a little tired. I looked around to see a beautiful stream with a tree branch leaning over it. I have to come here with Shizen later
