For years there had been rumors of a beautiful place deep in the heart of a unmarked forest. It was claimed to be a paradise, some called it a Navarro, but no one knew of where it might be located. The rumor had quickly died after some many stopped searching for it and passed it off as a folks tale. No one knew how close it really was and the evil that was inside.

Kuro had not the slightest clue as to where she had wondered to now. It looked to be a place completely made out of nature itself. The trees bent in ways the they form homes and everything that was needed for anyone to live in. She didn't understand it and her little dragon buddy, Suta, kept telling her that he didn't trust this place and that they should leave. Kuro just rolled her eyes and called him a coward.

The hoof-steps of a horse can be heard through the forest. Deep in the forest, something was there with Kuro. Behind a curved tree a man comes into sight of Kuro. He has long black hair going down to his shoulders. Branches and blue vines with blue leafs are spread out through his hair. His skin is dark brown, his defined body covered in light muscles seems to be mostly naked, the only clothes he seems to wear is a white cloth ribbon, tree-bark armor going along his shirtless torso and down his arms. He is hidden behind a tree so the lower half of his body is covered from sight. His chiseled face and soft expression makes him look kind, and gorgeous. He is however not danger free.

The man holds his hand over his eyebrows to keep the sun out of his eyes. He looks to Kuro and speaks aloud in a soft voice. "You there. What are you doing here?" Kuro seems to have discovered another person in this forest.

Kuro quickly looked to see who it was that spoke out, hoping that they weren't speaking towards her but she could tell that the man was, in fact, speaking to her. She had a hand on her dagger, just in case this was another man sent by her master but he seemed to not know who she was so she relaxed her muscles a bit, but defiantly not by much. "I am just moving through, I will only stay the night then be gone, sir. May I inquire as to who you are?" For a teenage woman wondering the words, she spoke in a tone that suggested that she was more educated, though she didn't speak like this all the time, only with strangers and older people to be respectful.

The other man spoke "I am Kai Wrathgar!" He states loudly "I am a stranger to these forests and I have come to attune myself to the forest!" He spoke with pride, he seemed very sure of himself and his intentions. He looked like he lived out in the woods, but none near here, as the bark and the vines were colored strangely. He seems like he could be a druid of some sort. He steps slightly closer into vision and he has a blowdart by his waist, he doesn't seem to be ready to use it, but it is with him.

Kuro flinched back a bit when Kai spoke his name loudly, her hand tightening around the hilt of the dagger but didn't pull it out yet. When it looked as he was coming closer, she noticed the blow dart, so she let go of her dagger and relaxed a bit more, but she was still on guard. She knew how blow-darts worked and knew how to dodge them with ease and how to knock out the one operating it. "Kuro Sakuranbo, and this here is my dragon friend, Suta." She said, indicating to the small gray dragon that flew up to her head but then shifted shape into what looked like a human child, around 12 years old, with silver shoulder-length hair and bright green eyes. "Pleasure to make your acquaintance, Mister Kai." He said politely with a small bow.

Kai steps out from his cover in sight of the two. His lower body shown to be that of a smaller horse. Kai is a Centaur! He is thin, muscular. His lower body is covered in short, dark hazelnut colored hair. His tail is long and black like his head hair. His lower body is adorned in strange bark armor and he wears a large saddlebag on his left side, on his right he has a bow and a quiver of arrows.

As he walks closer, he clops with his hooves against the ground.

Kuro was a bit surprised to see that Kai was a centaur, even more surprised that she didn't catch the scent of a horse mixed with his own. She would assume for now that it was because she had been trying to judge his movements and if she should stay away form him or fight him. Though she kept her face expressionless so not to give off any of the thoughts that ran through her mind. "I guess then that we will be departing now. I am just going to find a shelter to rest at then hunt for food and once I awake in the morning, we will be gone."

Kai smells of the forest, he looks like he has been rolling around in nothing but forest. Kai places his hands together and bends one of his front legs to bow "If you require me then I will be Attuning to the forest." Kai waves and walks back into the woods. He looks around and moves as one, through the forest.

Grimm kneeled down in the forest. She glanced around, looking for anything. She sighed. It had to be here. She owed too many people too many things for it not to be. She came here for fortune, she was going to find it.

Kuro nodded then walked away, Suta following closely behind her. Kuro walked with a erected back, her head up, and moved almost without a noise. Her eyes were cold and calculating as she looked around for the best shelter for the night. She then caught the scent of a human not far form where she and Suta was along with not as far form the faint scent of Kai, which was hard to detect for her. She thought of going to spy on the human to see what they were doing in the woods, more so in such a deep part of it but then shook her head and went into the shelter that the trees bent into, which was looked to have the similar lay out as the Greek homes.

(I doubt I'll fit in here- I feel like my character is too modern...)

"Why are we here? I doubt there's even anyone out here-"
"I told you I heard something-"
Damien walked along as he watched around cautiously, Mikku, a small imp, hanging off his shoulder- He walked until stopping at the sound of walking of some kind of creature- Unsure if it was a safe creature or not, he ducked behind a tree, him and Mikku remaining silent

Kai continues to tread through the more foresty areas of the land, looking at the sides of the trees, listening to any sound that the forest makes. Kai kept walking on his four hooves, he has heard many other creatures in the forest, but one stood out and stopped nearby. Damien's footsteps alone, stopped.
Kai did not know who this was but he stopped, and tried looking in the direction that he remembers hearing the steps. Kai places his hand over his eyebrows to block out any distracting sunlight.
