Marsh Springs Adventures
*This is where you can share Marsh springs experience within your pack, etc. Please include the packs name and other things you did with her*

Daydreaming Souls Pack
Marsh Spring set off for her first ventures, both curious to where she'd end up but frightful for what she'd find. Dragging herself through a coniferous forest, she spotted a red wolf up ahead with a daunting demeanour. The wolf spotted her and at once escorted her to her main pack. Shimmer, who called herself the alpha of the pack in the forest, guessed Marsh Spring was a traveller and welcomed her to stay for a few days at the pack. The wolf from earlier stated her name was Bloodmoon. Shimmer comforted Marsh Spring to ignore Bloodmoon's harsh attitude, as she just wanted her pack to be safe. Corrosion, another wolf of the pack, invited Marsh Spring to hunt so she could learn new skills in another territory. The two hunted for a while until Corrosion explained how the packs culture worked. They believed heavily in dreams and astronomy, and let the calls of the spirits guide their paws. When the time came for her to leave, she was a bit nervous, but surprisingly Bloodmoon told her it'd be okay setting out on her own and that danger was a part of life. She left the next morning after saying goodbye to the pack (gained Angel Oak background).


--Lunix Pack--

Marsh Spring later found herself in the presence of the Lunix pack and was invited to stay as long as she would like. She bonded extremely well with the pack, however the time came for her to leave and as a parting gift was given the packs decorative acorns (acorn bundle décor.)

Dhuara pack
Marsh Spring came to Dhaura pack in the most lovely time of year, the great Lunar Event. Nayeli Skarn, the alpha of the pack, was too busy exploring the dreamlands to welcome her. Instead, she was welcomed by her mate, Astrophel, who invited her to join his hunting party as soon as he was rested from his most recent hunt. He explained that the pack's second hunting party was currently being trained. He also explained how important the dreamlands and the moon was to Dhaura pack, it was almost like a second home to them, but all the while a land of magic and mystery.

Starshade Pack
Marsh Spring had heard lots of fantastic stories about the connection to the moon the Dhuara Pack had and wondered if she'd be able to encounter lunar blessed creatures herself. She found herself in a large deciduous forest in the middle of the night and was happy to smell the scent of prey everywhere around her as springtime finally settled in. It was her favorite time to travel.
As she went deeper into the forest, she thought she could hear more and more unusual sounds. The noises unsettled her, she felt jumpy and on edge. Glancing around, she turned just in time to see a large feline, a cougar, staring directly at her with fierce, glowing eyes. Growing blue dust radiated off its back like energy and its fur sparked and swirled like stars.
Marsh Spring yelped and more desperately glanced around, wondering which was she should run. The sound of growling from the cougar only made her more desperate to flee. Just as she planted her paws firmly in the dirt to start sprinting, she heard ferocious barks from behind.
Both Marsh Spring and the cougar turned to face the sound and saw a wolf with a red pelt that had a glowing blue-green patch on his back sprint at the cougar. The cougar, confused for a moment, watched this wolf almost as though they were in a standoff, before turning and striding along through the trees.
The wolf turned to Marsh Spring. "Are you okay?" He asked.
Marsh Spring nodded shakily. "Y-yes, thank you. How did you do that? Weren't you scared? Couldn't it have hurt you?" She asked suddenly, her curiosity getting the better of her.
The other wolf just chuckled. "I was very scared. If that cougar hadn't backed down, I might've been dinner. But when it's life or death like that, sometimes a little courage goes a long way. I showed that cougar I intended to fight, and it wasn't in the mood to fight for a meal, so it left. Plus, it's springtime. There's plenty to eat here," he explained.
Marsh Spring was still in shock, but nodded, thinking on this wolf's words. "I'm Marsh Spring, by the way. I'm traveling. And did you know you're glowing?"
The wolf nodded. "I'm Éloi. Our pack teems with lunar energy. So much so that lunar creatures like that cougar will come to visit. All the wolves share a connection with lunar spirits. That's why the lunar marks on my pelt glow," Éloi explained. "Come with me, rest at the Starshade Pack for a while."
Marsh Spring's eyes widened knowing she'd get to experience more lunar phenomena like this. She was scared but excited all at once. "I'd love that, thank you!"
She followed Éloi to a part of the woods where the trees grew thick together, so much so that no light could shine through, not even light from the stars. But it wasn't dark. Everything seemed to emit some sort of glow, allowing Marsh Spring to see quite well.
"As you can see, in this part of the woods, not even starlight can reach the ground. But here, in the shade of the stars, that's where lunar creatures like to frolic. Make yourself at home in one of the dens under the trees. You will be well cared for here," Éloi remarked before making his way to his own den.
Marsh Spring found a nice den formed by exposed tree roots that left a hollow large enough for at least ten wolves from what she could see. She settled in for the night, looking forward to the adventures that laid in store for her at the Starshade Pack.

Northgardian Pack
Marsh Spring continued to traverse lands unknown to her, looking for a quick and easy snack hiding among a blanket of orange and yellow leaves, brittle from the ongoing season of autumn. As soon as she caught a whiff of a nearby rabbit, she — quite literally — bumped into a silvery male with a heavily battle-scarred face and a fur cloak covering his shoulders. Fearful of the stranger, she backed away a little, only for him to offer a reassuring smile and a curt introduction: Arlan, scout of the Northgardian Pack. After a brief conversation, the two ended up returning to the pack together, but as soon as Marsh Spring appeared in camp, Arlan earned a pawful of friendly nudges from other wolves. This wasn't the first time he had led a traveler to their lands, and everyone doubted it would be the last...
During her stay, her pawsteps led her to the young scout more often than they probably should have, sparking engaging discussions with him as if he were an old friend of hers. Arlan was a little sheepish at first, taking an extra heartbeat to come out of his shell, but he eventually shared some tales from his scouting duties. Odd little creatures that could walk on water lived in swamps! Or colorful lights danced above the Glacier! And much more! Curious, Marsh Spring asked more and Arlan happily answered, even offering some extra tips for her future travels.
When the day of her departure came, Arlan was the one to accompany her to the edge of the territory, wishing her luck on her travels one more time.

The Return
Marsh Spring decided its time for her to return to her pack, She thought of wolves she have met, different packs with different cultures and beliefs. It was quite sad but she knew this will be a perfect story for the pups!

Marsh Spring trekked the mountains until she caught a familiar faint scent.. her leader, Maeria! She trotted towards her and was greeted with new faces and familiar ones. After several snuggles and cuddles. Marsh Spring finally settled off to her old den.

Pups came flocking in and well its time for a story!
