The rain fell heavy upon the varied leaves of the trees, dripping off onto the ground. . The sun, or what there was of it, was setting in the west, barely visible as the rain rolled on. A lone figure made his way to an arch that proclaimed quite simply: Terralux. Odd... Why would they rename this place? He wondered. He plodded on under the arch, curious, paw instinctively set upon his swordhilt. He kept marching down the path, looking for all the world like a feeble monk, due to a slight limp that came from his left paw, and his cloak, which was as soaked as the rest of him. He felt a presence, a slight feeling of being watched, one that he learned to listen to in his many years of roving. He sprung up into the nearest tree, waiting in the branches for the slightest bit of movement.

*The ferret roams a bit far from the Village. Adoni's eyes shift from place to place, embracing nature's present. His instincts tell him there is another beast around, but the young warrior has no intention of stopping. The sun makes a wonderful light show as it strikes the trees. Mossflower Woods' canopy always makes the path glow... He thinks as he places a paw on his bow. The wood blisters occasionally, but it is a good bow. Picking a shaft from the soft quiver hanging from his back, Adoni puts an arrow on the strings. He pulls back a bit, picking a target. After seeing a cedar tree's branch, the young ferret spots a formation in the leaves. Adoni pulls back on the strings and lets it fly. Luckily, he misses. Soon realizing he could have made a fatal mistake, the ferret rushes to the spot where he shot the arrow. Standing under the tree, he calls out to a creature who may be hiding up there.* Hello? Is anybeast there? I'm sorry about the arrow.

*A gold-furred squirrel wandered through the woods, his black eyes taking in his surroundings. * *He jumped to one side with a curse as an almost-spent arrow goes past. The squirrel glares in the direction the missile came from, then laid a paw on his shortsword and quietly headed in that direction.* *Stupid arrows...

"It won't do ye any good shooting randomly." Silas jeered, generally assuming the ferret was an evil-oriented one. He drew his own bow, aimed a unique greenish rock-tipped arrow, but didn't pull back the string...yet. Not taking eyes nor aim off of the ferret, he dropped down to the bush the ferret originally shot through. "Alright, drop your bow and I won't aim high." He said in a solid, commanding tone. He did not notice the approaching squirrel rushing through the bushes behind him.

*Ashnel is wandering a little way away from the arch of Terralux. He hears an angry voice close by and steps out onto the path, his dark eyes taking in the scene before him, his face narrowed in a frown. A squirrel he's seen before, but whose name he can't remember, is aiming an arrow at Adoni. Ashnel spots Regen, and gives him a short nod. What's happening?*

*Regen takes in the scene quickly, then throws himself into a silent flying tackle at the strange squirrel's back. He mouths "arrows" at Ashnel in midair, appearing to just notice the squirrel. *

*Adoni mutters a curse under his breath. The arrow had been shot toward somebeast and now he is going to pay. The squirrel came down, but out of the corner of his eye, the young ferret spotted two other squirrels. Whew... Close. Good, its Ashnel and Regen. He throws the bow down back on the path, and sonn does the same with his quiver. Walking out from behind the bush, Adoni nods to Silas and smiles. He lifts a paw in good spirit and yells to Silas in a friendly voice.* Hello! Welcome to Terralux, if thats where you're headed. I'm a ferret, but a goodbeast, and I remain in the Village. Are you a traveler? *The ferret notices Regen and puts his head down. Uh-oh. The squirrel does a leaping attack at the newcomer after Adoni welcomed him.* Regen, no!

Silas eyed the ferret cautiously, then heard a slight sound behind him, rolling left out of the way of whoever was attacking him from behind. He came up, arrow pointed at Regen. He was about to shoot when he recognized him as a goodbeast, and let his bow slacken. "Okay, hold up here." He then noticed Ashnel, a distance to his extreme right. "Let's just sort this out..." His eyes darted from creature to creature. "Does that ferret speak true?"

*Stoakly rolls his eyes and watches Regen fall. Turning to Ashnel, he smiles and nods. Looking back at Silas, the ferret stands firm and salutes.* I speak true, welcome traveler. Welcome to Terralux, friend. I am Stoakly Centurio, what is your name? *He asks, staring deep into the squirrel's eyes.*

Silas stood, looking back at the ferret, Icy blue eyes betraying nothing. "My name is Silas Hawkeye. I've been told that this place was Reguba Hollow*, for a time. As your friend kindly demonstrated, I think I came to the wrong place...Unless you happen to know a Terragon Scrufftail hereabouts..." He puts up his bow, and shoves his arrow back into the specially-designed quiver attached to the side of his backpack.
OOC: *I dunno exactly where that is, But I assume it's where Terralux stands...IDK

Aye. *Stoakly replies in a matter-of-fact manner.* Terragon Scrufftail is our leader, along with the squirrel you see over there. *He points to Ashnel, nodding his head. The ferret nods to Regen, and looks back up to Silas.* And that, Mr. Silas Hawkeye, is Regen. He is a loyal villager and comrade. Do you wish to join our domain? *He asks, still staring at the squirrel. What is Reguba Hollow? He inwardly asks himself, supposing he has heard it before. Shrugging the feeling off, he calls to Ashnel.* Ash, are you planning on welcoming a newcomer? Today, atleast?

*Regen scrambles to his feet, looking incredibly embarrassed, then looks at the stranger cautiously. After a moment, he says carefully, *Sorry about that. Wasn't sure who you were.

"It's alright," Silas said, sensing the note of embarassment tinging his words. "I've had an awful lot of practice with those kinds of things." He put out his paw in greeting. "Almost had me there, too."

*Ashnel speaks finally, his voice quiet and low.* Reguba Hollow...? Not Reguba Valley? And you're looking for Terragon? *Obviously! He reminds himself. Don't ask stupid questions.* Well, answering as one of Terragon's Terraluxian Captains, let me first welcome you to Terralux; and secondly ask you to come with me. I'll find Terragon for you.

*Regen shakes, grinning. *I do my best. *He glances at Ashnel. *I'll come with you.
