You had felt …something, the feeling is hard to explain. It was an urge to go into a specific direction. At first you tried to ignore it, but it was just to big to not to, so you gave in. The feeling led you to this cave. You thought it would disappear once you reached the destination it lead you to, but it was still there, nagging you to go into the cave. You hesitated to do this. You didn't know what expects you in the cave. For all you knew it could be dangerous. The cave didn't smell like an other predator though and your curiosity won eventually. You stepped cautiously into the cave that turned out to be a long tunnel. You followed the tunnel until you could see light at the and. After a time that felt like an eternity you stepped out into a forest, similar to the one at the entrance. Something felt off though. You couldn't really explain what, but it felt different than your home, yet it felt like you belong here. image source Characters Rauður: Tempest female (she/her) ~ 3 years and 6 months Blár: Hawthorn ~ male (he/him) ~ 4 years 2 months Grænn: open Grátt: Kamikaze (Kam) ~ 1 year 6 months Svartur: Willow ~ female (she/her) ~ 2 years Hvítur: open Rules one character per user This is a 16+ roleplay, minor cursing and gore are allowed, but keep it wd appropriate. a minimum of five sentences per post, no one-liners Even though there are magical abilities, this rp is semi-realistic.

The Danger

The danger is creatures called shadows. Shadows are bigger and stronger than the average ùlfar and resemble canines or felines. They have a shadowy form and glowing red eyes. They come only out at night and their major weakness is light. They are extremely aggressive and attack almost immediately at sight.

the History of Heima

It was the harshest winter in years and prey was scarce than the shadows appeared. The four largest packs just restored peace after a war. It was neither the first nor the worst war, but there were losses nonetheless and peace was still fragile. No one knew where the shadows came from nor what to do about them at first.
