They rode in silence for a small hour, the only sounds to be heard was of birds skipping from branch to branch. Crows called towards each others as bigger black birds sat down in tree's the closest to both Melia and Salvador. The ravens just looked at them, softly making sounds as they talked towards one and other. Salvador seemed conserned by this. Melia could hear him mutter under his breath as he looked at the larger birds. "Skirmir." he said softly, knowing who the Warden of the ravens was. The crows all left, leaving both Melia and Salvador alone with the ravens that seemed to follow them, still softly muttering among one and other. "No matter what happens, don't stare, dont scream... and try to .. well... seem unafraid. No matter how you feel" He told Melia as he gently brushed his hand over hers, almost as if he wanted to comfort her, and warn her for what was to come.
Before he could look in front of himself again, wolves seem to come out of the shadows. They looked up at the ravens and let out soft bark and whipering noices as if they were talking to the birds. THe birds talked back, looking back and forth between the two humans on the horses and the wolves. Salvador did his best not to look at all bothered by these animals, the horses though were less convinced that the wolves were not out for a nice bite of horse-meat. But they were well trained horses, and even though they were afraid, they kept walking.. even though they felt somewhat tense and stressed.
A giant black wolf appeared on the small road that both Salvador and Melia traveled. The horses stopped and tried to turn around before that big thing.. that was as big as themselves was to jump and eat one of them. But it was nothing that Salvador could not correct, so his horse stayed where it was suppose to be.... in front of a giant ass Wolf that did not look happy with the mage and this girl being in his forest. Melia's horse though was able to turn its hind legs and turn around. Only to be surprised by the inmens smoking skull in cape and feathers standing right behind them. The dark creature moved over towards the horse, as the animal seemed to suddenly calm down and seeming happy to see the other creature... even though it would bring utter horror into the hearts of men.
THe wolf seemed to have the same effect on the horse of Salvador, it seemed to talk to the animal though no sounds could be heard. Salvador, who whished he could just run away and scream like a little girl, stayed silent until he gently bowed his head. "Warden Skirmir, Warden Ashak." He said in greeting. "Shut it!" Ashak the wolf said "We know who you are mage... the dark lord... the insane king. You are not welcome here, nor is the woman you brought with you! You KNOW the rules! You stay out, and we stay in. Now GET OUT!" the wolf said with a human voice, snapping and snarling at both humans.
