Harroc remained firmly rooted to the ground, lowering his head and sighing softly as he settled back in to comfortable half curl. There wasn’t much to pack or even do before they headed out, simply eat, refill water, and start on the trail. He idly watched Chloe organizing the dried meat bundles int...

Harroc suddenly became aware of his own thoughts. He felt like he was adrift, separated from his body and floating in an endless black. Everything else felt so distant and insubstantial as if he were acting from the depths of a deep pool. He exerted his will, forcing himself to awaken further and ex...

Harroc chuffed softly and padded away from Chloe a short distance. He moved to leap and triggered his shift, but something went wrong. Instead of leaping into the air, he simply lifted his body upwards. The shift took hold, shrouding him in dense green-black smoke that roiled like fire. Harroc felt ...

Finally, a question formed in her mind, something that has been nagging at her since the hunt. "Why didn't we just eat our fill in combat form? Why go to all the trouble just to have some extra food?" There was a brief flash of annoyance on Harroc's face and Chloe tensed on reflex, ready t...

Harroc nodded as he finished cleaning Chloe’s armor. He turned to look at her and hefted the final gauntlet as he spoke. “If you are finished, we should head back for the food.

Harroc looked like he’d lost a fight with a bleeding mud mammoth and was beginning to breathe raggedly as they finally broke into the clearing Chloe had chosen earlier. The distance had seemed so much shorter when they could simply cut through the undergrowth or slip in and out of the many gulleys t...

Her eyes snapped open and Harroc’s hand moved away smoothly in the same moment. "Um. Oh - okay then. Where are we hunting? In combat form?" “There is a grazing ground not far, and yes it will be a good chance to show your skill while still being wary of larger and more dangerous predators,...

Harroc stopped moving, breathing, it seemed as though he had been frozen completely. This persisted for several long moments before he loosed a sharp bark of wry amusement. “I had never considered, and now that I do, I do not know where to even begin.” "I guess you could start filling in the ga...

“What principles? Your Circle is about nature and balance right?” Chloe asked as she carried the ramps to where she’d set down her pack to mark the area to put the tent. “That is an amusing but apt simplification. The Circle of Balance teaches the preservation of balance in nature and self. The sel...
